Set variable equial to button name that was clicked

I know how to do this in Flash, but don't see a way to do it in captivate? When one of 26 buttons are clicked, I need to set a varaiable with the button name. Then jump to a page that has 26 grahics hiden. On enter I need to unhide the one named the same as the button.

I'm glad I saw this post at the top of the list.  I wanted to do this too.  I have 15 click boxes that are used as bonus points.  When clicked I would like to do the following:  (1) Hide the click box and icon group that was clicked.  (2) Increase my "score" variable.
It would be nice if it used the "this" function, like is done in Jquery / javascript, along with wildcards in the variable name.  This way, I could create 1 Advanced Action script that could work for any of the click boxes.
Oh well...I'm off to creating 15 scripts.  Maybe I'll watch a movie while I do it.

  • I just updated to Numbers 3.0.1. In the old version if I started to type a name that was already in the spreadsheet, it would automatically fill it in. That doesn't happen in the new version. What am I missing to get that to happen?

    I just updated to Numbers 3.0.1. In the old version if I started to type a name that was already in my spreadsheet (in another cell), it would automatically fill that name in. That is not happening in the new version. Am I missing something to get that to happen? Thanks

    If you frequently enter repeating values in a column and don't want to type the same text over and over again, instead of just waiting for Apple's updates why not try using an enhanced feature in Numbers 3 that in many (probably most) situations is even better than "auto-complete"?
    Numbers 3 has an enhanced Pop-Up Menu functionality that helps prevent typos or capitalization inconsistencies from creeping in and messing up your data. It is also much more efficient than auto-complete in Numbers for iOS, should you ever want to sync to an iPad or iPhone and do data entry there.
    Pop-Up Menu is much enhanced over what it was in Numbers 2.3, and is easy to set up:
    Select the whole column or range before formatting as Pop-Up Menu and your existing values in that column or range will pre-populate a menu automatically:
    Then you can remove the values you don't want in the list, such as the column header (and possibly some previous spelling errors too!):
    And after this easy one-time setup all you have to do thereafter is to choose from the pop-up list when you add rows:
    See this post for more details on how this handy feature has been enhanced in Numbers 3.0.
    Should you ever want to take your Numbers with you and do data entry on an iPad or iPhone, in a touch interface, pop-ups are much more efficient than typing the first few letters of items. You can scroll with ease through a list of dozens of items to make a pick. Anybody using Numbers cross-platform should favor Pop-Up so they can use their documents efficiently for data input on the go, which can be a productivity booster.
    See this thread for this and other workarounds for Numbers 3.0.

  • Using Cap6, need to create menu screen that allows user to click a button, branch to other screens, and return to main menu. When returning to the main screen the button that was clicked will be grayed out or inactive.  How do I do this?  I created image

    I am trying to emulate a piece of equipment.  I need the user to be able to click on specific buttons that will take the user to another screen(s).  After viewing those screens the user will be directed back to the main screen where the user would know which buttons had been pressed and which still needed to be pressed.  I create image buttons with the 3 states - that worked except when the user returns the slide is reset and so the user does not see the 3rd state of the button.  How can I get that 3rd state to stay after user returns to the main screen? 

    Hi Elizabeth,
    Since I just did this morning what you are currently attempting to do, I thought I'd share my method.  I must provide a disclaimer and tell you that I am not an expert in Captivate advanced actions--like you, I am still figuring them out.  However, I am happy to share here anything I have learned thus far.
    First, here is what my initial slide looks like (see interaction slide below).  I created all of the icons (including the 'grayed out' icon on the second screenshot) in a few minutes using Adobe Illustrator. The icons have been imported as custom multi-state buttons so that I could have the desired effect when the user hovers over the image--the yellow 'explore' flag appears only when the mouse is over the icon. When the learner click either image, they are sent to the corresponding slide.  Once both slides are viewed, a 'continue' button will appear at the base of the screen (something I've not figured out--I sent an email to Lieve begging for some guidance). 
    The initial slide (interaction slide):
    Second, here is a depiction of what happens when the learner returns to the interactive slide from the content slide (see image below):  Once the learner visits the 'Battery Content' slide and then returns to the interaction slide, the images have changed.  The multi-state button is hidden (through the advanced action), the replacement image (the image with the completed banner over it) is shown, and a hidden click box to allow the user to return to the previously visited page (just in case they desire to do that) is "shown" to allow navigation since the button is no longer there (because it is magically hidden).
    Content Slide 1:
    Remember, there may be an easier way to do this in Captivate.  I am using Cp6 for this module.
    1. I created two user variables as follows
    Name: v_batteryExplore
    Value: 0
    Name: v_fuelExplore
    Value: 0
    2. I created an advanced action for each as shown below (showing only one--duplicate the first and change the names to match the content):
    Credit: I learned these steps from @Lilibiri and Dr. Pooja Jaisingh!
    I have also noticed that it matters where the buttons are located on the timeline.  It seems best to have buttons above all other content.  Not sure why, but I have had images not appear when I have not done this.
    And the last step you do not want to forget; you need to remember to tell Captivate to use the action.
    As a final note, remember that the elements you do not want to appear on the initial screen must not be initially visible.  Make sure to set them to invisible by removing the checkmark in the 'Visible in output' box located next to the button name.  In my case, the image of the completed battery and the invisible button to allow a revisit of content was initially hidden.  Here is a final screenshot of my timeline for this interaction.  I hope this information helps you!

  • How to retrieve last mouse button that was clicked?

    Is there a function that gets the last mouse button that was pressed? I am creating a GUI in the MATLAB environment, and its mouse button detection abilities are quite limited. Since MATLAB can import Java classes, I am hoping I can get around MATLAB's limitations by issuing a java command that will tell me which button was pressed (in MATLAB a cntrl left click and a right click are given the same tag!!!!)
    If this is possible, can someone show me the java code to get the mouse click info (note: I do not need any java mouse action callback behavior - I just need to know the last mouse click)
    -brian

    This is probably something that you will have to do yourself. You can use the MouseListener interface and then store the last mouse click in a class variable. This is only theory to me as I have not done it myself.

  • After refreshing ALV display, set it to the current cell that was modified.

    Hello Experts,
    I am currently using cl_gui_alv_grid for my ALV grid display. I have 1 editable column
    which lets users input values. Now, When users press 'ENTER' in the keyboard I refresh
    the ALV display to reflect the changes done. But the display always "moves back" to the first column
    so it is tiresome to find the current cell that was modified. My question is, how do I set the ALV
    display to just "stay put" in the current cell that was modified after pressing 'ENTER'?
    Hope you can help me guys.Thank you and take care!

  • How to change the blank document to the real name that was assigned

    i started using numbers.i can see two documents blank i and blank 2 .i need to click on the document to see the name that i gave.what should i do to see the list of the documents and name when i open numbers
    david

    Hey There I didn't need to change it as it shows my correct name in my icloud account. The problem is on my Mac where it still shows my Full name as my partners name.
    For eg. if I send an email from "Mail" on mac and I use my icloud account then the name that shows up is my partners name when the email is received. If I send an email from the Icloud Mail box that I log into on my browser then the name that shows up when the email is received is my name which is correct.
    When I go into preferences in "Mail" on my Mac to change my name, the name is ghosted out and doesn't allow me to change it ! ? It is here that it still show my partners name ?

    the easiest way is you can send the parameters for the command link and the
    output link.this parameters will be the unique id of the rows ur r populating .
    get those parameters by:
    request.getParameter(keep the id u kept in the parameters list);
    I worked it out before ,its perfect.

  • How to set  the CR print job name that displayed in Printer job queue?

    As following image shows, when I press the Print button in Crystal Report Preview GUI,
    a print job is sent to Windows Printer Spool.
    [Windows Printer queue dialog snapshot|http://www.box.net/shared/96vq4qa2mp]
    The "Document Name" in the dialog is like "Crystal Reports - temp_214d9d11-a73f-4872-81f6-b8a63bf0a6b9.rpt".
    I want to know which property of Crystal Reports can be used to set the print job name to a more meaningful one.
    Edited by: Xiaobing Sun on Apr 2, 2009 5:08 AM

    The solution in this thread is for VS .NET as this is the forum for CR in .NET.
    With Foxpro, I suspect you want to create a new thread in the SAP Crystal Reports - Legacy SDKs forum.
    Make sure you specify the exact version of CR used.

  • Firefox gave me a warning about a site and I set an exception. The site that was warned against has asked me for a screenshot, but I can't find how to remove the exception in order to replicate the warning message. How do I remove the exception?

    The site was JustCloud.com, and it wasn't every page that triggered the warning. I've looked through Options: Security, Advanced, etc., and can't find access to the stored exception in order to remove it. Below is the URL of one page that triggered it:

    How did Firefox showed that warning?
    Was the a pop-up on a sliding bar at the top of the browser page or a message on the web page?
    Do you remember any content of that message?
    Was it about a certificate (secure connection)?
    Rename the file "permissions.sqlite" to permissions.sqlite.sav in the Firefox Profile Folder to remove all exceptions (cookies, images, pop-ups, software).
    If renaming didn't help then you can undo and rename the file permissions.sqlite.sav to permissions.sqlite to get back the old exceptions.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • How do i change the name that was given to the folder located in /users

    when i bought this imac, the shopkeeper initialized it and entered my first name incorrectly it now appears mispelled as the title to the main folder located in /Users. when i open the window to access the info relative to this folder, the section 'Name & Extension' appears grayed out and i cannot change the mispelled name. anyone can help me find out how do i change this?

    There are  ways of changing the home folder name but I would strongly advise against it.
    Best way forward is to start over. You can create a new user with proper spelling of your name and make sure you assign administrator rights.
    You can do it in System Preferences / Users
    This is obviously only if you are fine with starting a new user profile and customising it.
    Let me know if you need detailed information step-by-step.

  • How to find out which object on a JPanel was clicked...

    I have a JPanel that contains about 200 other small JPanels(only 8 are visible at any one time), and a JButton(with Visible set to false).
    When one of the small JPanels is rightclicked i want to know which one was clicked so I can add the JButton to it (set theJButton Visible on the JPanel that was rightclicked). When the JButton is clicked, it will hide the JPanel it was on and hide itself again.
    I added a MouseListener(MousePressed) to the main Jpanel but I dont know how to find out which of the smaller JPanels was clicked. I would Also need to know how (in the ActionEvent for the JButton) the JButton knows which JPanel it is on so it knows which one to delete.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------CODE
    void JPanel1_mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
    if ((e.getModifiers() & e.BUTTON3_MASK)!=0){
    ------------------------------------------------------------------CODE
    void JButton1_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    ------------------------------------------------------------------CODE
    Can this be done or should I add a MousePressed Listener to each of the 200 small JPanels and create a JButton for each of them??
    Any Info Appreciated... Thanks....

    Here you get a hint, hope have added all mouseListener as well and registered....addMouseLi...etc
    // many JPanels here...
    JPanel clickedPanel;  // a reference only
    // In mouse Click..
    public void mouseClicked( MouseEvent e ){
              clickedPanel = e.getSource( );
              clickedPanel.add(new JButton("Look, I am Added") );
    }  // it is Only HINT, a working HINT
