Hi,

I'm running an IAT on iPad with older adults, and I'm wondering if it's possible to make the "E" and "I" buttons on the bottom of the iPad screen larger - specifically, I'd like to increase their height - their width is fine.

Thanks,
Stephane

If you are referring to the buttons that Inquisit displays automatically when running a script primarily designed for keyboard-input on a touch-input device such as the iPad, no, as best as I know there currently is no way to specify their size and/or height/width programmatically.

If, however, you are either targeting iPads exclusively (i.e., the script will not be run on keyboard-input devices) or are okay with allowing for mouse-input on devices other than iPads (e.g. regular laptop or desktop computer), then you can switch the script to /inputdevice = mouse and put two objects (<text> or <shape> elements) on the screen to serve as input. Those elements could be sized according to your needs. Please find a simple example attached.

It would also be possible to deliver different configurations of the same script to iOS devices vs. others through the use of conditional <include> elements. I.e., you could administer trials configured as in the example to iPads while delivering the regular, keyboard-input configuration to other platforms.

Hope this helps.

Excellent! Yes, we're planning on using the script exclusively on iPads so the mouse input will likely be my best option. I will play around with the button/shape sizes for the iPad. 

Thanks a lot!
Stéphane
