Is there a trick to make InputRequester() display 2 lines of text ?

InputRequester("test","THIS IS A LONG TEXT."+Chr(10)+"IS THERE ANY WAY YOU CAN SEE IT IN FULL ???","")

hi, fig
here is an example archive code that can do what you are looking for

; Date: 19. January 2003
; OS: Windows
; Demo: No

;Here's my own version of an input requester, which is superior to the
;built-in InputRequester() command in these ways:
;
;(1) It's "modal" (it locks the calling window until done).
;(2) The prompt area is bigger And can have multi-line text.
;(3) You can hit Esc/Enter To abort/accept the requester.
;(4) It has a Cancel button in addition To an OK button.
;(5) It has a standard Windows look-and-feel about it.
;(6) It plays the "question" audio prompt sound.
;
;It works with Or without a calling window, And here's how you call it:



Procedure.s InputBox(CallerID.l,title$,prompt$,def$)
  ;
  ; Remember which window (if any) called this InputBox.
  ;
  If CallerID<>0 : CallerNum=EventWindow() : EndIf
  ;

  ButtonGadget(998,288,36,60,23,"Cancel")

    EnableWindow_(CallerID,#False) ; Disable caller until our InputBox closes ("modal" effect).
  EndIf
  SetWindowPos_(WindowID(999),#HWND_TOPMOST,0,0,0,0,#SWP_NOMOVE|#SWP_NOSIZE) ; InputBox always on top.
                                                                             ;

;Usage:
;a$=InputBox(title$,prompt$,Default$)


;Example:
a$=InputBox(0,"InputBox","Please" + Chr(10) + " input " + Chr(10) + " a string:","This text is already there.... ;)")
Debug a$


;Naturally prompt$ can include Chr(13) For multi-line text, And Default$
;can be empty (null) If you don't want a default entry placed in it.
;I called it InputBox() so as not To clash with InputRequester(), And
;because it emulates the Visual Basic InputBox() command.

Fig wrote:...make InputRequester() display 2 lines of text ?

PureBasic's built-in InputRequester() function does not seem to support this. However, here's a proof-of-concept to a custom input requester, with some extended functions which can be easily modified as required. It includes the following features:
1. multi-line messages
2. multi-button responses
3. automatic close-timer
4. implements default values

Code: Select all

Global irWin, irInput, irButton1, irButton2

Hi Fig
In case you want a Modal Input Requester

Code: Select all

Global icoH

Procedure _InputRequester(Title$,in$)
  OpenWindow(1, 0, 0, 320, 200, "Input Requester", #PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_WindowCentered, WindowID(0))
  DisableWindow(0, 1)
  ImageGadget(10,10,10,32,32,icoH)
  TextGadget(11,50,10,200,25,Title$,#SS_CENTERIMAGE)
  StringGadget(12,10,50,300,100,in$,#ES_MULTILINE|#ESB_DISABLE_BOTH)
  ButtonGadget(13, 140, 160, 40, 30, "OK")
EndProcedure

icoH = LoadIcon_(0,#IDI_WINLOGO)
OpenWindow(0, #PB_Ignore, #PB_Ignore, 400, 300, "", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
ButtonGadget(0, 170, 260, 60, 30, "Input")
Repeat
  Select WaitWindowEvent()
    Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
      Select EventWindow()
        Case 0
          Break
        Default
          DisableWindow(0, #False)
          CloseWindow(EventWindow())
      EndSelect
    Case #PB_Event_Gadget
      Select EventGadget()
        Case 0
          _InputRequester("Test","THIS IS A LONG TEXT."+#CRLF$+"IS THERE ANY WAY YOU CAN SEE IT IN FULL ???")
        Case 13
