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:

  • Failure attempts for click boxes

    I am curious as if there is a way to create failure attempts for click boxes, the same way they are available for question slides?
    Thanks,
    Judy

    Here is a possible work flow:
    Created 3 click boxes, same size, same location (is only possible in CP6, forgot to ask the version you are using): CB_1, CB_2, CB_3 Only the first of them is visible, visibility checked off for CB_2 and CB_3
    Click boxes have 1 attempt, the default action for Success 'Go to Next Slide' is OK; for After Last Attempt I created a standard advanced action for each click box: Fail1, Fail2, Fail3
    Have an initially invisible text container Failure12 that will show up for the two first failures. I had the text 'Please again, attempt $$v_counter$$' That user variable v_counter would indicate the number of the attempt, perhaps not necessary?
    For the last, third failure I created a group 'Last' of two initially invisible objects one text container with the incorrect message and a Next button (so that the incorrect caption can be read and then the user clicks on the button)
    Fail1 action, triggered by CB_1:
    Expression v_counter = v_counter + 1            if you do not need the counter, skip this, it will result for Fail1 in a value 1
    Show Failure12                                            the text container with the guide text
    Hide CB_1
    Show CB_2                                                  so the first click box is disabled and the second will become functional
    Fail2 action, triggered by CB_2:
    Expression v_counter = v_counter + 1            if you do not need the counter, skip this, it will result for Fail2 in a value 2
    Hide CB_2
    Show CB_3                                                  so the second click box is disabled and the third will become functional
    Fail3 action, triggered by CB_3:
    Hide CB_3
    Hide Failure12
    Show Last                                                    this is the group with the incorrect caption and the Next button
    Writing out this answer took me more time than creating the actions in Captivate. Hope it makes sense?

  • Change default "on success" behavior for click box?

    Hello,
    I create a lot of pptx --> Adobe Captivate eLearnings, and as you know, when the slides are imported, they are given a click box, which when clicked, advance the user to the next slide. I want to keep the click boxes to stop the project at the end of each slide,  but dont want the user to be able to interact with it. (I have a customized navigation bar)  I can achieve this by changing the "on success" behavior to "no action".  Question -- do i have to do this for every click box?  Unfortunately, I cannot apply this to all click boxes like I can apply the timing settings, for example.
    Thanks for any help!!
    Ryan

    As far as I know....and hopefully someone can correct me (I would be curious for sure)... but I don't think you can change the properties of multiple click boxes across slides all at the same time. Other items like buttons and smart shapes can be visually adjusted using the Object style manager, but as far as On Success options and such...unless you select them all in a given slide, you can't. Clickboxes can't even be added to master slides unfortunately. If the clickbox can be in a common place across slides, I would delete all of the clickboxes except the first, make the necessary changes to that one, then do a ctrl+c for copy, and then just paste it into all of the remaining slides. Again, I hope there's an easier way someone can share.

  • Pausing Movie for Click Boxes

    Hi everyone -
    This is my first time on this forum and I'm fairly new to
    Captivate, so please be gentle :)
    I am creating a movie that highlights accomplishments for a
    department over time. Using the "Click Box" feature, I'm creating
    links from the movie to Flash, GIF, PDF files, websites, etc. that
    highlight some of these accomplishments. What I would like to do is
    stop the movie while the viewer explores some of these links in a
    new window, but I cannot figure out how to do this. I've attempted
    to do this by clicking the dropdown arrow to the right of the "Open
    URL or file:" field in the "Click Box" popup window. In this menu,
    I click "New," and uncheck "Continue playing movie."
    Alas! This does not work for me. I publish the movie and give
    it a test run. When I click on the "Click Box" links in the movie,
    my URL or file opens up just fine in a new window, but when I come
    back to the movie, it is finished because it was still running
    while I was exploring my links.
    Am I missing something in "Options" or the "Click Box" tab?
    Is it possible to stop the movie while the viewer explores links?
    I am using Version 1.0.1188, Build 1188 (Education Version)
    of Captivate, and viewing my movie in Mozilla 5.0 on a PC with
    Window XP.
    Any input would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Chris :)

    Hi, I have a similar issue with click boxes. I have a few
    slides which follow the same pattern: I have some instructional
    text which spans the length of the slide with fade in and fade out
    effects. I also have a click box positioned over a button image
    which the user is required to click to proceed. The click box is
    set to appear a few seconds into the slide, before the text starts
    to fade out.
    The idea is that the instructions fade in, tell the user to
    click the button, then the click box appears and pauses the slide,
    the user clicks the button and the slide finishes playing, fading
    out the text and moving on to the next slide.
    The slide does wait for the user to click the button before
    proceeding to the next slide, but the slide fails to pause, and the
    instructions fade out before the user clicks the button. Just to
    prove that the slide has not paused, I placed an image set to
    appear after the click box appears, so if the slide had paused when
    the click box appeared, the image would not appear until the user
    had clicked it. However, the image does appear, the instructions
    fade out, the slide plays to the end and only then does it pause.
    Both the click box and instructions have their duration set
    to "Rest of slide", the instructions starting at 0 seconds, fading
    in over one second, starting to fade out at 4 seconds, and ending
    at 5 seconds. The click box is set to appear 4 seconds in, just
    before the instructions start to fade out. The click box action is
    set to "continue".
    I managed to solve my problem (kind of) by using an invisible
    button instead of a click box, but an invisible button is also
    invisible in the editing environment, making it hard to spot.
    So is there a bug with click boxes? Or is there something I'm
    missing? Should we avoid click boxes altogether and just use
    buttons for every clickable element?
    Thanks,
    Scott

  • I want to open new tabs with other ones open. So I click the + button for tabs and it does nothing. I right click and click new tab and still nothing. How do I get that feature to work again.

    I click the + button to open a new tab and it doesn't do anything, not even open a new tab. I try to right click and open a new tab and still don't work. But if I right click a link and click open in new tab it will work. How do I get to open my tabs again with the + button?

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Double clicking home button for music player

    my sister got the new ipod touch 4g and she cant listen to music while she is playing a game that stops the music. how does she listen to music while playing a game?
    also my ipod touch is a 2g and i double click the home button for the music player to come up and i can listen while i play. i have the 2.2.1 OS and if i update to the current 4.2 will i still get to keep this feature?
    thanks, merry xmas

    Jeong-hun Sin, 3.1.3 has the same issue, and I do not think Apple is ever going to fix this issue. They still haven't even fixed the live updating playlist sort order issue...
    roaminggnome he's referring to a pop-up controls issue that has been talked about on this forum ever since the release of the 3.1 firmware.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151438
    In 3.0 and older versions, if you're in an app/game you can double-click the home-button to access the iPod pop-up controls to resume the playback of a song/podcast that had been previously paused/stopped.
    In 3.1, if a song had been previously paused you cannot launch the pop-up conrols to resume the playback of the song. You're forced to exit the app that you might be in (lets say safari, or a game), and then resume playback using the music app.
    Jeong-hun Sin, I upgraded to 3.1.3 a few days ago, and have found a few improvements:
    - Many 3D games are MUCH smoother/faster under 3.1.3, than 3.0. I downgraded back to 3.0 just to see if I was just imagining things, but games like Coconut-racer, and Asphalt 5 were not as smooth as they were under 3.1.3.
    - If you happen run apps that have live video streaming where the video playback controls do not appear (e.g the BBC world, Al Jazeera news, sure there's more), the iPod Touch no longer randomly reboots when using those apps.

  • Turn off click box reporting for all

    When we capture screens, the click boxes are set to report answers. Before Captivate 7, you could turn it off and then do a Save to all of same type. That feature no longer works in Captivate 7 or 8. Is there a way to turn it off before capturing the screens?

    Hi there
    After the recording is complete, you are able to edit the properties of one Click Box to turn off reporting, then use the Apply to All button.

  • What is the the tag I can use in a custom conversion publish/print template for click box text?

    I have customized a conversion template to generate a storyboard but I can not find a tag to grab the text found in the click box text.  I am able to grab all text captions from text boxes.  HELP!

    Not that I know of.<br />
    Maybe it works if you would specify a font (!important) that doesn't have those glyphs.

  • How to add click box/button to QUIZ slides??

    We have a basic quiz for our online course. At the top of the
    quiz we have a navigation bar with next, back, main menu, help, etc
    which we use a click box to make link.
    However, when we're on a quiz slide the click box and button
    option are grayed out. You can't access them at all. How can we fix
    this?? We HAVE to have the top navigation be functional as it is
    for the rest of the slides. Help!

    I'm having the same general problem you are.
    I got this response a few days ago:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=464&threadid=1374767
    Its a little different question but I think the answer can be
    applied to both: Its not in the program to allow users to fully
    customize question slides. Unfortunate, but a reality I guess.

  • MAC QUESTION--I'm looking for the toggle button for thumbnails

    MAC QUESTION--I'm looking for the toggle button that use to be on the bottom right of desktop folders to increase and decrease the size of the thumbnails.  Does this still exist?

    Glad you got it going. I'm in Thumbnail mode most of the time in my Finder, so I didn't notice that the slider isn't there in others. I'm running Yosemite as well and I'm happy this feature has been kept.
    Thanks for letting me know

    var count:int;
    count = 0;
    btnload1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , load1);
    btnload2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , load2);
    function load1(Event:MouseEvent):void
      addChild(notes[0]);
      notes[0].x = 100;
      notes[0].y = 100;
      count ++;
      trace("Counter Value:" + count);
      if ( count == 2)
      btnnxt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , nextframe);
    function load2(Event:MouseEvent):void
      addChild(notes[1]);
      notes[1].x = 100;
      notes[1].y = 100;

  • Need driver for Toshiba Control buttons for Windows 7

    Hello!
    When I was using Windows XP I had a driver Toshiba Controls so the keys for WMP were working.
    Now I am using Windows 7 and I cannot find that driver and the keys are not working.
    How can I fix this problem?

    Hi
    1) point; did you search in forum for similar questions?
    There are enough threads about similar themes
    2) why you dont provide any info about your notebook model?
    Its not easy to talk abut drivers without knowing the notebook model
    By the way; the VAP (value added package) for Win 7 enables and controls the Toshiba control buttons

Maybe you are looking for
