Make click box feedback stay on screen

How do I make the feedback for a clickbox stay on screen till the learner moves on? I see where I can designate a specific number of seconds for it to stay on screen, but I just want it to stay on the screen indefinitely till the learner moves on...so, for the rest of the slide, basically.

In that case you will need to add either a Text Caption or a Smart Shape with the feedback text you want and configure it as hidden. Then create an Advanced Action that will make it visible.

Captivate 6.0 - I want to make a rollover shape stay on screen if user wants it to

I have used smart shapes as rollover popups. However, I'd like to give the user the option to select a shape or more to stay on screen, by probably clicking on it. The purpose is to give user the ability to compare the content of selected smart shapes, thus viewing both or more on the screen at the same time.
Any ideas or does anyone know of any widget that could do this, please?

Instead of using a rollover you could try adding a button which, when clicked shows the text box. You set this up by inserting a button (you can make it transparent if necessary). Under Action in the properties panel choose On Success: Show and then select the appropriate text box.

How do I make a hover object stay on screen?

I have a CSS image gallery, and am struggling to finish it off (I originally intended to find a js example but couldn't find what I wanted despite extensive trawling).
Hovering over the thumbs brings up the large image as required, but I need the image to then stay on screen until the user hovers over another thumb. I'm pretty sure this is possible, but can't work out how to do it.
Here's the link: http://www.stereosociety.com/lenegallery1979-2006.shtml
Any help would be much appreciated!

Click Box Option Problems

I need help!
I am stuck trying to find a work around for an apparent
Captivate bug related to Click Box properties. Captivate is not
registering the changes I am trying to make to my click box
feedback. Specifically, I want to give my users 2 attempts and show
them Failre captions (and have marked the appropriate fields in the
Properties dialog box). However, they get infinite attempts and no
feedback. This is consistent over several slides.
Does anyone have any advice or work arounds?
Thanks

Hi Libby! You said . . .
quote:
I have 1 -2 click-boxes on the problematic slides. I also have 2
invisible buttons for Back and Next buttons that I am using instead
of the Captivate control bar.
Okay, so we have 3 or 4 interactive objects on a
slide. I'm wondering if the "Continue" setting might be a problem;
when "Continue" is selected, the movie will begin playing from the
point it is currently frozen - meaning it will "continue" on its
way along the timeline for that slide until it gets to the end ...
at which time it will transition to the next slide. If the next of
those 3-4 interactive objects is located
after this one, it will
pause again, for that
next object - right?
There is nothing out of the ordinary about the number of
slides in your projects, nor the number of interactive objects per
slide (or per movie) ... it really doesn't sound like you've
created a monster, just a misbehaving child.
I am nearly convinced that the problem is
(1) the position on the timeline, and
(2) the stacking order (top to bottom) of the interactive
objects you mentioned. The problem is that I can't "see" those
elements or their positions relative to each other - which brings
us to:
With my comments (above) in mind, check to be sure that one
object is not interfering with the operation of the next. If it
still baffles you, let me know if you can get permission to share
one of the problematic files with me.
Thanks, LibbyLee, and have a nice Monday!

@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

Need Label/Title for Click Box Button for Screen Reader

Version: Captivate 3
1) We created an online course for a government client. The next screen navigation (next/back) we used click boxes. However, when read by a screen reader it just says "click box 1", "click box 2", etc. We need it to say "back", :"next" etc.
CAN THIS BE DONE?
2) We did try a workaround with buttons by making the text a tiny font size and the same color as the background to fool the program. However, the buttons become inactive when the movie time is up. We need to buttons to stay active because if the user walks away to the restroom and comes back we don't want them to have to restart the program.
Is there any way to keep buttons active eventhough the movie is complete?

Hello Chaitak,
It looks like the problem is not in the Click event. The Ribbon UI is a static thing from its birth. You need to use callbacks, not to set values in the Load event like you did for any UI controls in .Net applications.
There is no need to handle the Click event of the toggleButton control for changing the label property. Instead, you need to use the callback. For example, to change the label you need to declare the getLabel attribute. And when you need to update/refresh
values you can call the
Invalidate method of the IRibbonUI interface. It invalidates the cached values for all of the controls of the Ribbon user interface, your callbacks are invoked to get new values.
You can read more about the Ribbon UI (Fluent UI) in the following series of articles in MSDN:

How to make page continue after all click boxes have been clicked (CP6)

Hi,
I have a standard non quiz hotspot page in my course. I want this page to continue to show a final animation once the learner has clicked all click boxes on screen.
At the moment, I have set up Advanced Actions to make the click boxes show the relevant information successfully. I have also set up an array which tells the page to continue once all the click boxes have been clicked, however the page does not continue until the user clicks on the page again AFTER clicking all the click boxes.
Why is this happening?
Thanks

Lilybiri, I had problem with advanced actions and you helped me a great deal with your skills and your template for reusing.
I will try to explain the best I can, If there are 3 buttons on a slide, and when each one is clicked: they assign some variable from 0 to 1, conditional action says if all assigned variables are 1 then do action for that slide, slide action can be: show 4th button (initially invisible) for example. That 4th button will be visible only if you proceed to some other slide by clicking one of those first 3 buttons (via jump to slide), and when you navigate back to that initial slide 4th button will be visible. This was the only way for me to show 4th button which is initially invisible on a slide with conditional actions. Standard actions works just fine: you click something and assigned action is performed. But, again for conditional actions slide needs to be reloaded. For me it works only this way otherwise nothing happens on a slide when I have situation like this (with conditional actions). This is why I have replied in this way since I have recognized my problem. Am I wrong? And yes, event is triggered on slide Enter.

Make all click boxes required before proceeding to next slide

I have created a screen with three click boxes and a next button. The learner will need to click all three click boxes before they can click next to move to the next slide. If they do not click all three boxes they will need to get a message saying they need to view all content before proceeding. Does anyone know how to program the next button to require the three click boxes to be clicked before proceeding?
Thanks in advance,
~A

Question has been treated multiple times in this forum. You don't need to program the Next button, but the click boxes. I suppose they do not have to be clicked in sequence? In that case:
create three user variables, one for each click box: v_one, v_two, v_three and give them a default value of 0
hide the next button (in the Properties panel - since I don't know the version, will not go in details)
for each click box create a conditional advanced action with two decisions:
First decision is a mimicked standard action 'Always'
    IF 1 is equal to 1
       Assign v_one with 1    (change variable in the actions for the other two click boxes to v_two, v_three)
Second decision checks the value of the three variables
    IF v_one is equal to 1 AND
        v_two is equal to 1 AND
                        v_three is equal to 1
                    Show Bt_Next
Be sure to have the pausing point of the Next button later than the pausing point of the click boxes. That will mean that you have to shorten the timeline of the click boxes, and check the timing properties of the button

Adding Click box makes Captivate freeze up and end in error and closing down.

Since the patch yesterday, everytime I go to add a Click Box to a slide, Captivate freezes, says not responding at the top and eventually the ol' "Captivated ended in error, send error info to Microsoft". I have lost my work so many times today. I have cleared all temp files, etc. shut down, powered down, etc. to try and clear whatever it is, but it is still happening. The project and Captivate was working ok yesterday. Just the "usual" Captivate locking up and falling down. I am using this on Windows XP.
Message was edited by: donnaj Actually, now when trying to record a new slide Captivate locked up and I got the message. In fact I had to HARD BOOT the system...
Cannot do with Captivate today really. Apart from changing sizes of highlight boxes.

Hi there
"I do not see any documentation stating a limitation."
This is true. You seldom (if ever) see things like this in any manufacturer documentation. After all, their goal is to sell the product and tell you how great it is and how it will address your needs. Limitations are viewed as a negative, so they are typically omitted. I'm sure Toyota didn't have any docs that said that "oh yes, and by the way, sometimes the gas pedal will stick". Or Microsoft doesn't say "by the way, Windows will sometimes crash on you and you will have to totally reinstall our operating system when that happens".
Things like project limitations are learned by end users sharing their collective experiences and wisdom here and in other places on the web. Captivate has always had a size limitation. Often we recommend that folks keep projects somewhere between 50-65 slides as a common "rule of thumb" guideline. Our hope is that a future version will remove any such limitations. But my guess is that you will then see some other unexpected issue emerge. Such is the nature of the software beast.
Another thing that is never mentioned anywhere except in third party materials is the fact that Captivate projects should not be placed on a network unless you are doing that as a backup mechanism. You never want to place a project on a network drive, then open Captivate and proceed to open the project and make edits while the project is on the network drive. Working in this manner holds the risk of completely corrupting your project and rendering it unusable.

Captivate 6 - Trying to make all click boxes not visible in output

Adobe Captivate 6 - how do you make all the click boxes not visible in output. Help says to uncheck the Visible in Output box, easy enough, then it say to click the Apply to all icon and there is no such icon. Do I have to go through every single slide and manually do each one?

Hello and welcome to the forum,
I think you want to 'hide' the click box, so that it is not active, in the Properties panel? A click box itself is never visible to the user on the stage, but can be active or not.
I always copy/paste an invisible object, it will keep its properties. Since a click box has no style, you cannot apply a style to all click boxes.

Several click boxes on screen but only one failure caption appearing

Hi,
I'm using Captivate 6 and I have 3 click boxes on one slide. I have set each click box to have a Failure caption however, only the failure caption of the click box in the top position of the timeline appears in the course.
Ideally I want all 3 captions to appear at once if the user fails to click in any of the correct areas.
Do anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Liam

Hi Liam
One way I can fathom would be to create a blank slide. Insert three text captions that present the text you wish to see and arrange them so they "work" aesthetically. Then preview the project and screen capture. Then configure the background as transparent and save the image. Use this image as the Failure caption for that top level Click Box object.

How to make a Click Box URL open in a new window?

Hullo, I am having an awful time being stumped by what I am sure is a totally simple solution that continues to evade me:
How can I set a click box set to open a URL to open that URL in a new tab or window?
My click box "button" appears on a slide in the middl eof the presentation, and I'd like the user to be able to click on the hyperlink and not navigate away from the video.
Thanks!

Hi there
What version of Captivate?
Typically there is an option to click just to the right of where you type the URL.
Below is an image of the version 5 properties.

Hi,
What you need to do is to modify the internal table from table control whenever any user action is performed.
it_zekpo is my internal table w/o header line,
wa_zekpo is work area.
Name of input/output fields on screen are:-
wa_zekpo-field1,
wa_zekpo-field2, and so on...
At screen flow-logic
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
* MODULE status_8003.
LOOP WITH CONTROL po_tb.
    MODULE read_data. "<--read data into table control from internal table
ENDLOOP.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
* MODULE user_command_8003.
LOOP WITH CONTROL po_tb.
    MODULE modify_data. "<--modify internal table from table control
ENDLOOP.
In PBO
*&      Module READ_DATA OUTPUT
MODULE read_data OUTPUT.
READ TABLE it_zekpo INTO wa_zekpo INDEX po_tb-current_line. "po_tb is table control name
data : line_count type i.
describe it_zekpo
lines line_count.
po_tb-lines = line_count + 10.
"to increase the number of lines in table control dynamically
ENDMODULE.                 " READ_DATA OUTPUT
In PAI
*&      Module MODIFY_DATA INPUT
MODULE MODIFY_DATA INPUT.
MODIFY IT_ZEKPO FROM WA_ZEKPO INDEX po_tb-currentline.
"this will modify the contents of existing line into internal table

Hope this helps you,

How do I make my next button (click box) dependent on other actions?

I have 5 click boxes on one slide, where each reveal certain text. I want all to be clicked before my manually created next button (an image + click box going to next slide) appears.
I want to create a condition saying click boxes 1 - 5 must all be clicked before the next button appears. How can I do this? Thanks.

You're going to run into some issues trying to do this with click boxes because by default as soon as you click one of them it releases the timeline pause and the project will continue to play. There is a work around for this that involves some fancy Advanced Actions to rewind the playhead slightly so that you jump back before the pause point again, but I actually prefer to do this sort of thing another way.
I use Event Handler widgets to register the clicks on some other object such as a caption or highlight box or image. I can set the widget preferences to Disable Continue and Reset Success Fail Criteria After Action. This allows my users to click away on the objects forever if they want without releasing the playhead. Best of all it only takes seconds to set this up. Doing something similar with Advanced Actions requires you to build extra clauses into other actions you need, and then sometimes you run into issues with the clickboxes not resetting their success/fail criteria unless you re-enter the slide.
Whichever way you go, you're going to need to first Hide the navigation button on the slide (set its Visibility to unchecked) and set up some user variables (one for each object where you want the user click to be tracked) with initial values set to 0.
You also need five Conditional Advanced Actions (one for each object) that have two sections. The first part assigns the relevant user variable to 1 when its object gets clicked, and then it moves to the second part which looks for a condition where all of these tracking variables are set to 1, and if it find this, then it Unhides the button that allows the user to jump to the next slide.
Set each interactive object (widget or click box) to execute their relevant conditional advanced action when clicked.
That should do it for you.

Multiple click boxes in the same page

I'm trying to include 4 click boxes in the same page in Captivate 5. The idea is when user clicks on each box, the content reveals and stays on the screen. The first click box works fine. But when click the second box, the content shows only for less than a second and then quickly moves to the next screen, and of course, there is no chance to even get to the 3rd and the 4th one. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

Hi Lilybiri,
Does this mean that the user has to click the click boxes in the order that you stagger the pauses? For example, if I'm showing a picture and instructing the user to click on any area to get more information, they could really click on any area first - however will that click box pop up if that click area was not the "first" pause in my timeline?
Also, how do I get the "success" caption text to stay on the page? I don't want it to fade so that the user can see all of the info. once they've clicked each box. I've checked to make sure that the "fade out" option is off, and I'm assuming I can't have the click boxes "display for the rest of the slide" since that would ruin the pause increments.
Thanks!
