Displays a window that prompts the user to type a value. This command is the same as the INPUT command except it lets you choose the placement of the input window. It also allows special formatting characters in the string such as TAB (ASCII 9) to position text and Carriage Returns (ASCII 13) to move to the next line. x_location and y_location are in pixels. The values for x are 0-640 or 0-1024 (depending on your video driver). The values for y are 0-480 or 0-768. If the locations you provide cause the dialog to be displayed too far off the screen, the software will correct the position and display in upper left corner. To set the font for this window, use DE_OPT 26 before executing the INPUT command. See also: INP_POSITION |
Using the Input window on multiple monitors
If you run GainSeeker on a computer with more than one monitor, it is recommended that you launch and run the SPC Data Entry module on your primary monitor when using the Input window:
The position of the Input window is automatically configured when an SPC data entry session is launched. If you open a template on one monitor and then drag it to a different monitor, the Input window will still be displayed on the original monitor.
Any windows that are minimized will be restored on the primary monitor. Thus, if you launch and run the SPC Data Entry module on your secondary monitor, and then you minimize the SPC Data Entry module, some of the program screens may be displayed on your primary monitor instead of the secondary monitor.
