scroll bar on input dialog box

I have a very large input box,which can ask the user to input around 30 values. The box is bigger than the screen of my computer so I'm not able to see all the inputs. Is it possible to add a scroll bar to this?

Thanks

Maybe. How is your input box constructed?

I used inputdlg. This is an example of what I did except it's a small box compared to mine. Mine is with 30+ variables that have detailed 'prompts'.

prompt = {'variable1','variable2','variable3'};

dlg_title = 'required user parameters';

num_lines = 1;

def = {'2','4','3';

answer = inputdlg(prompt,dlg_title,num_lines,def);

inputdlg() has no provision for a scroll-bar in its code. It would be possible to edit one in, but because the code has firm ideas about how to size things properly, it would probably take a bit of work to puzzle it out.

It might be easier to construct your own routine.

You might also consider reducing the number of inputs in the dialog and using multiple dialogs.

Aarrrgh. That's terrible!
