How to remove pause from Text Entry Box

Saw a discussion on this in the archives, but didn't exactly address what I was hoping. Basically I'm hoping to use a Text Entry box to allow a user to save notes for the project. Yes, I know that there is a notes widget, but I'm not a fan of it. Is there a way to remove the automatic pausing of the TEB? Or is there something else someone else has done to allow users to take notes rather than the Notes widget?

Hopefully I'm not missing something, but other buttons and such have a checkbox next to the "Pause After" portion of timing. TEB boxes do not seem to have this and indeed, even if I set it to 0 or whatever, it just defaults to 0.1 seconds.
I'm hoping to try and use the text I collect from their notes added into this TEB to be able to display at a final review slide before a quiz. Not sure if it's going to work, but I don't want to force a user to use the notes box, hence the disabling of a pause.
I'm open to other ideas of how to allow taking notes without using the notes widget. If there's anything better.

  • Exporting text from text entry box

    Hi Everyone,
    I am building a responsive project in CP8 and want to be able to extract (and store) the text that people type in the text entry boxes.
    Is there a way that you can export or store the content. Perhaps the LMS can store the information and I can extract from there.
    I have used window.print(); to print the page, but this is not ideal as not only does the learner need to save to PDF, but also it is in portrait orientation.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    For me i found 2 ways to to store text entries from user-input.
    1. Currently i am testing the moodle-lms and it is able to track the text-entries. In order to do so it is necessary to enable "check user input" (dont know if its correct namend, because i am using the german captivate version). Unfortunately, it was hard to find. In the evaluation / analysis part it was "hidden" under the "cmi.suspend-data" tag which consists of almost unreadable sequence of figures, signs and characters.
    2. Moreover, i am testing the adobe quiz result analyzer on an own server. The software itself is not able to output these entries, but every single xml-file that is created for every single user is storing the date entered by the user. As well you need to enable the "check user input" box, otherwise it is not possible to enable the checkbox "include in quiz" that is necessary to transmit data.
    cheers

  • How do I create a text entry box in muse?

    I am using Muse to create prototypes for a web application and want to insert a simple text entry field. The field does not have to save, just needs to allow a user to be able to type text or numbers in it easily. I tried using the forms widget but it will not allow me to strip out fields or the submit button. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi
    Can you please elaborate as what exactly you are trying to achieve , text box can be inserted on page but you don't want to save it ?
    Do you want to allow the users to type but not save that ?

  • How to remove recipient from text message

    I made a rookie mistake. I'm sending an important group text out. I inserted my number into the recipient box. So my texts appear TWICE!
    What is the quickest way to fix this with out having to start completely over. Im not talking about the iMessage groups. Just a texted message with multiple recipients.
    Thanks

    I don't think it works for text message group, only groups in imessage.

  • How to remove labels from text fields?

    Hey Everyone!
    I am having troubles with forms in Dreamweaver CC.
    I insert a text field in a form but the text field automatically comes with a label.
    How do i stop this?

    And I get that!
    But say I insert a text field.
    It is preceded by a label saying "Text Field 1:"
    But I already have written what the text field is supposed to do!
    And when I go in front of the label and press backspace, it doesn't wanna get deleted; not until I have to select the text and delete it!
    So you see a large part of my time is getting wasted in formatting the page and i can't give my full attention to the php code I want to write as I get frustrated because of this!
    So if you could help me get rid of the labels for good ; it'll be amazing!
    Thanks

  • How to remove scrollbar from text

    I have a control <mx:text> is contained within a
    canvas. I want to make sure the length is not over a certain size,
    however when i do this the text is longer than the area and it
    places a scroll bar right over the text. I know with a textarea

    available for text. I really would just like it to truncate the
    text, but cannot find any way to do it. Any help on how to get rid

  • Text entry box question

    Hey all, I am currently working on a project and have run
    into a snag and cant seem to find the answer, or even if what i
    need can be done.
    Question 1: how do I advance a slide with the correct entry
    of a text field without a button or keypress?
    Question 2: if this is not possible, how can i have a text
    entry box check for correct input using a custom button?
    Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.
    M. Anderson

    Hi M. Anderson
    The first question may be accomplished if (and only if) the
    last letter the user is supposed to type is unique among all the
    letters. For example, BOFFO would not work. O occurs twice. But
    LIFE would work, because E is unique. You could then configure the
    letter E to be the shortcut for the Text Entry Box.
    For the button, it's pretty easy. Click the Options tab and
    look at your choices. Make sure the "Button" option contains a
    check mark. After you dismiss the dialog, you end up with a rather
    generic looking button. But once you enable the button, you may
    then double-click it to edit its properties. You could choose an
    image, or you could make it invisible and position the invisible
    button over another image you placed on the slide as a simple image
    object.
    Hopefully this helps some... Rick

  • Advanced action: jump to next slide if all text entry boxes are filled out. If not, pause project and show error message

    Hi there
    Working with captivate 4 and advanced actions, which is a great new feature, I encounter the following problem:
    I have a sign-in slide, where the user has to insert his name and several other data. For user-friendly handling, I have the text entry boxes appearing one after another, so when the user confirms his entry, the next text entry box appears and has the focus.
    The button for jumping to the next slide works with an advanced action:
    Only if the user has filled out all the text entry boxes, the action "jump to the next slide" is performed.
    If not, an error message is shown.
    It works well so far.
    Now, I want the project to pause there, and not to jump back to the beginning of the slide (as suggested in another Thread in this forum), because then the text entry boxes dissappear again.
    I tried to set the movie control variable rdcmndPause to 1 in order to make the movie pause, but nothing happens.
    I tried it with an external playback control bar and without, it didn't work in either case.
    I found the hint:
    To control the project through the skin file, add the prefix cpSkinLoader_mc to the variables. This might be the solution.(?)
    But how can I change the name of a MovieControl Variable?
    If anyone knows, how this is supposed to work or has another suggestion to solve the problem, please let me now.
    Thanks a lot.
    Petra

    Hi Petra,
    I believe I can help you, but from a completely different angle than anything you've tried yet.  I try to find simple solutions to complex problems.  No advanced actions will be needed, just a little creative timing.  First, I need to be sure I correctly understand what it is you're hoping to accomplish.
    If I understand you correctly, you've got a single welcome slide.  On this slide you've got several TEB's (text entry boxes), set up with variables to make your project more personal or gather some required information.  These TEB's have no right or wrong answers, they simply require an entry: such as an address which begins with a numeric key.  The TEB's are set to appear one after another, as one is completed the next one appears.  Once all have been completed a next button, set to "jump to next slide" takes them  to the next slide and on through your course.  You want the project to pause until the user clicks this button, and only proceed if all TEB's have been entered.  If not, you wish an error message to appear.
    If the above description is correct, I'd do the following:
    Leave your TEB's to show up one at a time as the previous is submitted, as you've described. (each one pauses the slide till info is submitted, then "continues" the slide and the next TEB displays)
    Set each TEB to "display for rest of slide".
    For the next button:  In the properties dialog box, options tab, name the button "Next_button" and uncheck the visibility box.
    Open the properties for the final TEB that students will fill in and set the on success property to "show" then choose the Next_button by clicking the drop down arrow beside the "show" field.  This will hide the Next button until all TEB's have been filled in.
    There is no error message, because there is no possibility of error.  Why tell a student they've messed up, just eliminate that possibility!    All TEB's only display after the previous is entered, and the Next button is hidden until the last TEB is entered.
    I've tested this in a simple 3 slide project and it all worked fine, including some variables.  If you need more detailed info, or would like to see the sample proj. I created let me know.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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

  • How do I show a hand cursor for a text entry box button

    I'm using Captivate 5 and have run into an annoying problem...
    For a general click box, there is an option for "Show hand cursor over hit area" which will result in the cursor changing to a hand when rolling over the click box region in the published presentation.  I want to do the same for the 'submit' button in the text entry box. Is this even possible?  I'm hoping to keep things consistent as a user is clicking through the presentation.
    I find it odd that it doesn't have the same property as found on the clickbox considering it has the same purpose.  I'm using a background screenshot image to simulate an entry in an application, so I'm actualy hiding the submit button, but the button I want them to press lacks the hand cursor that would indicate it is clickable.  I don't want to use a click box to allow the user to move on because I still want a failure in the text entry box to prevent the user from moving on.
    Hope that all makes sense.

    Hi there
    Another approach is to use a Rollover Caption. Just remove any text and configure the caption as transparent. Then layer the Rollover area over the part where you want the hand to change to a cursor. The net effect will be that the cursor change will occur. Clicking will then result in triggering the underlying Submit button, which appers to be invisible and layered over an image.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How do I incorporate text entry boxes into a quiz?

    Hi Everyone,
    I am very new to Captivate 8. I am trying to incorporate TEB's into a quiz. When I try to check the button (include in quiz) it is grey and does not allow me to check it. In addition I do not know how to let the programme know what text I would consider correct or incorrect after the student has typed it into the text boxes.
    I am obviously missing something and would be very grateful for help because I am losing my patience ++ (all the videos on the web regarding this do not appear to be for captivate 8, only earlier versions :-()
    Thanks

    Hey everybody.
    Im very new to Adobe Captivate and I try to create questions where the students have to enter numbers only. So I don't want them to be able to enter letters in to the field.
    In text entry boxes I'm able to set it to numbers only. Is there a way to control this in quizzes as well?
    If I try to create a new question I get only the choice showed on the pic below. Is there a possibility to add text entry boxes as quiz questions to the question-pool?

  • 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?
