rt:text function (case 23261)

  1. #1

    rt:text function (case 23261)

    Hello,

    I am using the rt:text open-ended repsonse function of DirectRT (Version 2014.1.114) but I'm unable to change the fixed title of the notification box ("Press <ENTER> when you are done").

    To continue using DirectRT for this experiment, I really need to find a way to either translate this message (German sample) or get rid of the text (and possibly the boxes "OK" and "Cancel") entirely.

    The session is embedded in MediaLab but I have been unable to find this wording in the messages.txt (I read in an older archived thread that this might be a fix).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Cheers,
    Felix

    Felix,

    Which specific item type did you try to use in MediaLab?

    The DirectRT session I am referring to is started via MediaLab (Item type: "DirectRT").

    The box I am referring to appears when running the DirectRT experiment (via MediaLab or directly via DirectRT) when using a trial with "rt:text" input.

    Do you see any possiblity to change the appearance or translate the wording of the DirectRT rt:text input box? The english heading is very out of place in a non-english experiment.

    Best

    Edit: I uploaded a "screenshot" (excuse the quality, fraps was unable to capture this screen) to better illustrate which box I am talking about.

    Unfortunately, the English heading of the box cannot currently be changed in DirectRT.
