DisplayEchoClient alignment

[Michiel Sovijärvi-Spape]

Hi,
Or, if you have an attribute on the slide (slide1), centred, [myresponse],
and it comes just after a label, PreSlide1, you could simply add an inline:
If Slide1.RESP <> "{ENTER}" then
    c.SetAttrib "myresponse", c.GetAttrib("myresponse") & Slide1.RESP
    goto PreSlide1
end if

Slide1 needs, I think, in that case to have the PreRun set to before object
run (rather than start of trial).

You might need to process backspaces and such, e.g.
If Slide1.RESP <> "{ENTER}" then
    If Slide1.RESP = "{BACKSPACE}" then 
        c.SetAttrib "myresponse", mid(c.GetAttrib("myresponse"), 1,
len(c.GetAttrib("myresponse"))-2)
    else
        c.SetAttrib "myresponse", c.GetAttrib("myresponse") & Slide1.RESP

    end if 'backspace
    goto PreSlide1
end if

Should work, although I'm doing this the top of my head, and I somewhat
forgot the exact syntax of left/right/mid (they're well documented).
Best,
Michiel

Alisa,

Not sure if you meant this merely as a statement or rather as a question,
but just to confirm your observation, yes, now that I look at it I notice
that DisplayEchoClient has no center align option.  If that poses a problem
for you, then you could submit this to PST Support as a feature request for
a future release.  Other than that, if you feel adventurous then you might
use some inline code to read the input mask as characters come in and
construct your own echo display in real time using Canvas commands -- you
could start with the various input mask and Canvas topics in the E-Basic
Help facility, and take it from there.
