1. Constrain the Inquisit window to the middle section of the computer's display




  • so that the desktop background can be displayed simultaneously while collecting data.






2. "Lock" the Inquisit window in-place




  • To ensure the desktop background remains visible 

    • by preventing respondents from moving and resizing the Inquisit window.





Neither is currently possible, I'm afraid.

Hello Everyone,


I've been attempting to learn about Inquisit (Inqusit 4.0.2 on Mac OS X) for the last two days, and I'm stuck. As a newbie, I would greatly appreciate your help. 


I can find similar questions and answers but, as a total beginner, I'm not quite sure how to proceed to accomplish the following. 


I may likely be using something similar to the Lexical Decision Task from the task library (found at http://www.millisecond.com/download/library/LexicalDecisionTask/ ). Using that task example, I've tried changing the variables based upon information from this post (found at http://www.millisecond.com/forums/Topic9747.aspx ), but I'm not sure how to effectively accomplish the following. 



Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:



1. Constrain the Inquisit window to the middle section of the computer's display




  • so that the desktop background can be displayed simultaneously while collecting data.




2. "Lock" the Inquisit window in-place




  • To ensure the desktop background remains visible 

    • by preventing respondents from moving and resizing the Inquisit window.





Thanks, once again, for your assistance. I really appreciate it!


    


best wishes,


Jake
