SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on creating a scrollable text box in TI-89 programming. The user, Nathan, seeks a solution to display multi-line text with scrolling functionality similar to the "One Var Stats" feature in the Stats and List Editor. He has attempted using the dialog command but encountered limitations with the automatic inclusion of "Enter=OK" and "Esc=Cancel" options. Nathan suggests that utilizing the getkey function combined with string manipulation may be a viable approach to achieve the desired outcome.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with TI-89 programming syntax
  • Understanding of the getkey function in TI-89
  • Knowledge of string manipulation techniques in TI-89
  • Experience with dialog commands in TI-89
NEXT STEPS

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!

-Nathan
