How to make mutiple shortcut keys in one text entry box

I'm trying to make F8 and Enter work in one text entry box and only one because I need to make the scoring work the way I want it to. I have made both F8 and Enter work, however they are both in seperate text entry boxes when I want both to work in the same text entry box... Please Help, this will solve alot of problems I've been having.

Ok so I tried using advanced actions and failed... here's my attempt on putting 2 shortcuts in one text entry box with different entries like the problem described earlier on this thread:
Note: I have 2 TEB in one slide I tried using in this action.. 1 has variable name PF8, the other has PF82, where I'm trying to have PF82 contain both actions of both TEBs.
1. Went into advanced actions.
2. Action name: Linking2inone
3. Made it a conditional action.
4. In "IF" attempted to use both any and all conditions are true
5. Also in "IF" PF82 contains PF8
6. Actions Jump to Slide 11
7. updated action successfully.
Then I closed advanced actions. I tried making the PF8 TEB have "no action" when correct and tested it... didn't work... then I made PF8 TEB have Jump to slide 11 when correct, cut and pasted it to another slide because I thought that PF8 TEB as a seperate TEB in the same slide was messing with the Advanced Action I'm trying to perform. Therefore, since PF8 was just in another slide, PF8 wouldn't be deleted still having the same action value in advanced actions having PF82 contain the action of PF8; but this failed as well...

How can I make what a user types in text entry box go to the lms?

Hi,
I have a couple text entry boxes for non-scored short answer responseses---more of a reflective exercise than anything else.
However, I'd like the text the learner types to be recorded by the LMS.
How do I make that happen if it is not an actual assessment?
thanks

Each TEB gets automatically an associated variable with a generic name that is the same as the TEB (I always recommend choosing a more appropriate name). Lookin the General Accordion, you'll see the Variable field.
Do you want more explanation about variables?

Those are old posts, but whereas some system variables have changed names, the principles of the posts are still valid.

Short cut keys on a text entry box

Hi all
I'm testing my Adobe Captivate 2, when it comes to testing
the text entry box using the wrong key it crashes. I have set the
box shortcut to Enter key, I've allowed the user one attempt and on
failer it should go to next slide. What happens now is if the user
press the tab key for instance instead of Enter then no response
and nothing happens, where one would expect it to go to the next
slide, apparently the failer action only response correctley if
someone mistype the text.
Can any one help please
Many thanks

Hi Captrainer
Sorry my friend. You are misunderstanding the way the failure
and success work with this beastie. So you have defined Enter as
the correct trigger. All this tells Captivate is that when the user
presses the Enter key , compare what they typed against what you
were expecting. THEN, if it doesn't match, a failure is considered
to have occurred. Pressing Tab will likely just highlight some part
of your Captivate movie.

How to validate the number of characters in Text Entry box?

Hi
I have inserted a text entry box and assigned a variable (UserName) to it. Now, I need to limit the entry to a maxinum number of 20 characters. In other words, how do I validate the number of characters in the text entry box and provide feedback if it is more than 20 characters?

Thanks.
I have posted this as a query on the relevant post on Jim's website. I am too new to regular expressions. I hope he will help with an example as well.

CS5 / Win: How can I detect an key in a text edit box

Hi
I like to detect a key (an input) in a text edit box. I suppose I have to install an observer.
- Is that right?
- Sample?
I installed an observer for the dialog and attached the text edit box. But there is no call (in ::Update) if I do an input into the text edit box.
Thanks
Hans

Hi Hans
You can use EventHandler or Observer
For observer, attach the Subject to IID_ITEXTCONTROLDATA
InterfacePtr<ISubject> subject(this, UseDefaultIID());
if (subject != nil)
subject->AttachObserver(this, IID_ITEXTCONTROLDATA);
and then look for change: kEditBoxKeyStrokeMessage
For EventHandler:
create KeyDown(IEvent* e) method and use
const SysChar nCharCode = e->GetChar();
to find which key was pressed, ie. kReturnKey kEnterKey
EventHandler will notify you also if any of modifiers was pressed with the key, like Shift, Alt....

Tab key used as the shortcut key when using a text entry box

When I use the Tab key as my shortcut key for a text entry box, it works fine in preview mode but does not work in the web browser preview mode. I have tried to understand how I can take an existing project that is built for web browser application and make the tab key work. The only thing I have been able to make my text feild entry take me to the next slide is to have the user click Enter instead of Tab and that is not the typical way we move between fields in the real application. So....simulations is not accurate. Can you give me step-by-step instructions on how to correct this problem in an already existing project?

I think that you need to disable "Seamless Tabbing" in your file for it to work when published.
You need to edit the HTML file that launches your course manually.
Open your HTML file in notepad or equivalent
Between the <object> </object> tags add:
<param name="SeamlessTabbing" value="false">
Save the HTML file again

How to make manager approve more than one request in one time in SSHR

Dear All,
Anyone has an idea on how to make manager approver more than one request in one time in SSHR??
for example, manager is having 20 requests to approve on Change Pay Function, he don't want to check one by one and approve it, he want to approve the 20 requests directly from one time, is there any solution for that??
Thanks and Regards

Hi Adel,
As Vignesh has mentioned we don't have any standard functionality which will allow bulk approvals. We had same kind of requirement in performance management where the business was asking for a bulk approval feature which should be available to Skip level manager for approving the rating suggested by line manager. We had created a custom page which will list all the notifications and user can select the ones which S/He wants to bulk approve and click submit button. Internally we had called the workflow with item key and other required parameter and do the approval.
You can have a work with your technical guy and can work on the same lines.
Thanks,
Sanjay

I filmed several takes of the same scene for a movie. I trimmed the best clips from each take and put them into the project screen. However, I can't figure out how to make it flow seamlessly as one scene. Can someone please help me??

If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number. You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers. A camera might help.
Good Luck

How to make the shortcut (accelerator) a ContextMenu to be global?

how to make the shortcut (accelerator) a ContextMenu to be global to the Stage?

OK, I'm going the applescript route. When I run the script within automator, it works fine. However, when I run the script from a menu as a service, it has no effect at all on iTunes. I must be missing something.
Here's my script:
tell application "iTunes"
          if player state is stopped then return
          try
                    set player position to (get player position) + (-5)
          end try
end tell

Raynman was asking about what desktop environment you use in archlinux. It is clear what you want to do, but the answer to your question depends on which Desktop Environment (like Gnome, KDE, XFCE, etc) or Window Manager you are using.

Text entry boxes in CP6 - Enter key to validate input does not work in Safari?

I'm using Captivate 6 to create a step by step walkthrough of some different processes that are commonly completed in my workplace. Some of the example processes have portions where text is entered to simulate a process the end user might need. I have text entry boxes in these slides that require validation of the input to move along, with Enter used as a shortcut key. This works great in Firefox, Chrome and IE all the way down to 8....but if the course is run in Safari, the enter key does nothing. Is this a known issue?
Additional info: For many of these text entry boxes, the point is that it is a search field that has a little binoculars icon next to it that executes the search in the actual software we are simulating. For these slides I actually have the submit button associated with the text box made invisible (no fill, no stroke) and placed on top of the binoculars icon. This is an acceptable method of doing the task we're demonstrating, and just so happens to be a workaround for the enter key not working in Safari. However, a few places we have text entry that doesn't have the search/binocular icon next to it because there is a different goal on that section of the software we're visualizing. In those cases, there is no place for me to put an invisible submit button, and I can't make the submit button visible because that's not how the software we're demonstrating would work (thus defeating the purpose of the training).

Sorry, this is a known bug with no fix available yet, but the makers of SwiftKey are aware of it and we will work with them to fix it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617298
For now, the only solution is to use a different keyboard when using Firefox.

Can I have multiple text entry boxes on one slide?

Can I have multiple text entry boxes on one slide, each with it's own possible answer without having to have a separte submit button for each?
Message was edited by: Suzanne Petty

I'm using Captivate 5 - I'm thinking I would like to put two or three text entry boxes on one slide - say labeled Name, Email and Company I'd like to have any answer be accepted, yet I still want to have the answers included with the quiz reporting for our main quiz which I set up using a question pool.
I understand I can uncheck the validate user input box in the general menu in the property inspector, but that also makes the reporting menu inactive for the text entry box.
Is there a way to make validate user input accept any answer that is typed in the box, but still have the answers reported with my quiz?
Thanks

How can I get a click box to interact with a text entry box on the same page?

I'm creating a tutorial on using a specific system and trying to recreate what the end user would actual do in the system. On one slide, the end user must enter text into a field, then press a button (click box) to advance to the next slide. I want to be able to have the click box validate if the text entry is correct before advancing to the next slide. Is there a way to get the click box to validate the text entry? Not sure how to get the two objects to "talk" to each other rather than function independently.
Literally, I want the end user to enter the data in the text entry box, then click on the Get button. I need the Get button (click box) to both validate that the data entered in the text entry box is correct and, if it is, advance to the next slide. If the data is incorrect, I need the Get button (click box) to show the failure caption and have the end user re-enter the data correctly.
How do I get the objects to work together?

Hi there
You need to delete the Click Box. Yes, you heard me. Delete the puppy.
I know it sounds weird. But bear with me. After you delete it, double-click the Text Entry Box. Then click the Options tab. See that option called Show Button? Click it and click OK to dismiss the TEB properties.
Now you have the button you want. If you don't want a button, double-click it and set it as transparent. Remove the text. Position as desired where the Click Box was before.
Cheers... Rick

Multiple Text Entry Boxes on One Slide

I am developing training and assesment captivates for a software application. On certain forms in the application, I want to have the student enter text in multiple text boxes on one slide. Cannot figure out how to set the On Success options to validate the entry in one box and then move to the next box on the same slide. For example, in the attached shot, I want them to enter into Term1 Days, Term2 Days and Term 3 Days on the same slide. Have tried the Enable option, but cannot tweak that to work. Any ideas? Thank You

Hi there
I think to do this properly you will have to simply stage the Text Entry Boxes. Perhaps on different slides.
The user will then interact with one at a time.
