Creating a scrollable text box in a programming environment poses challenges, particularly when trying to replicate the functionality seen in the "One Var Stats" feature of the Stats and List Editor. The primary issues include the inability to add a title or multiple lines when using a simple text command, and the unwanted inclusion of "Enter=OK" and "Esc=Cancel" buttons when utilizing dialog commands. A potential solution involves using the getkey function combined with string manipulation for output, although the user is seeking simpler alternatives. Additional information from the community may help in finding a viable solution.

Hi there,

I’ve come across a problem I can’t seem to solve. What I want to do is make a text box that with scrollable information. For example, when you do “One Var Stats” on the Stats and List Editor where it has all the information you scroll through and only the “Enter=OK” button. I’ve tried this using dialog and using text by itself. When I use dialog, that always inserts the enter=ok AND esc=cancel at the end of the dialog, so I’m fairly sure I don’t use that. But, when I just use the text command (even outside of dialog) there is no way to add a title or more than one line (this does only have the enter=ok, though). I’m assuming the scrolling function could just use getkey and then some clever coding with strings for the output unless there’s an easier way.

I’d appreciate any solutions you may have!

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
