Defining the location of dialog box

[Michiel Spape]

Hi Gilis,
Interesting question, but it seems like it's already answered in the helpfile:
InputBox[$](prompt [, [title] [, [default] [,[xpos],[ypos] [,helpfile,context]]]])
So:
Dim a as string
a = inputbox("what is a", "myTitle", "null", 2000, 5000)

...Will display an inputbox at x,y = 2000,5000. Careful, x/y is defined in twips. Twips? Twentieths of a point. Learn something new every day!
Best,

Subject: Defining the location of dialog box

Dear all,

In my experiment people are asked to insert text through a dialog box
(askbox)-the issue is that they have to enter the text while the image
stimuli are still visible so it appear that the askbox always covert
part of the stimulus that should be seen. My question is how can I
define the location of the dialog box in the display.

Many thanks
Gilis
