RAdio Button Widget

Hi,
Is there a radio button widget that validates?
Thanks

Hi,
On the folder you downloaded from labs site, on the widgets
folder, you should have the radiovalidation folder.
In that folder there are one js and ine css file that you
have to link in you page.
Please look over the example page I send you to see exactly
what you need to have the radio button functional.

How do I make a Radio Button Widget Report to an LMS?

Alright....still trying to solve my basic problem.....
I can put in a radio button widget which looks great, but radio buttons do not report info to LMS. THen I can use Ravvi's code style to set a variable based on which radio button was clicked and then take a specific action depending on the value. The action I want is to send info to LMS. How can I do this?

I may have, but I have run across many Survey forms that do exactly that.
Some also have checkboxes as well and they are used for Check all that apply.
For all I know they may be using JavaScript code for the buttons to react the way the do.
I don't know if any of you are old enough to remember the old two button light switches. push one in and the others pop out. Push the other in and the first pops out. That's the button action I see on many survey forms.
I am not saying it correct. But if its not correct, how does one change their mind if the clicked the wrong choice?

Radio Button Widget Highlight Options

In Captivate 5.5, is it possible for the standard radio button widget (RadioButtons.swf) to not have a highlight color behind the text? I just want a transparent background with text so the master slide background shows. Adjusting the Alpha Channel only effects the radio buttons themselves, not the highlight color.

Hello and welcome to the forum,
But I have bad news, having explored this widget a lot, and struggled with that 'highlight color' a lot. I try to put it on a uniform colored background and apply the background color as a Highlight. Didn't find another way.
Perhaps a tip: do download the enhanced version of this widget, that allows you to control it more (variable can be changed by advanced actions and displayed). It was created by Jim Leichliter (CaptivatePro) and it is FREE:

Spry Radio Button widget for CS3

Hi,
I can't seem to find a definitive answer if the Spry Radio Button widget for CS3 is available or not. The help menu says that it's there, but I can't find it. I've updated my Spry and checked the web and can't find an answer. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!

I can't remember that far back, but if you cannot find i, then you may be right; it's not there. CS5 has it located on the insert bar as follows
but you can aslo go to the Insert Menu, Insert->Form->Spry Validation Radio Group.
Cheers,

Assigning Actions to Radio Button Widget

I'd like to be able to use the radio button widget as a way to jump to slides. I created a variable for each option (assigning a value of 1 to each) and tied it to an advanced action I've attempted to create. I then added a button that executes that advanced option once the radio button is selected. It doesn't seem to be working.
Does anyone know how to do this, by chance?
My advanced action script looks like this:
Check if [var1 is equal to 1]
begin
Jump to slide Slide 4
end
Or Else
begin
end
Check if [var 2 is equal to 1]
begin
Jump to slide Slide 5
begin
end
Etc, etc.

Hi,
Only one variable is sufficient to acheive this.I tried the following steps and it worked.
1. Create a variable say var1
2. Create advanced actions
Check if [var1 is equal to 1]
begin
Jump to slide Slide 4
end
Or Else
begin
end
Check if [var1 is equal to 2]
begin
Jump to slide Slide 5
begin
end
3. Insert the Radio Button widget
4. In Widget Parameters provide the comma seperated values like 1,2,3
5. Provide the variable name (var1)
6. Insert a button and call the above script.
thanks

Using Radio Buttons in widget to store Data

I am building my 2nd widget and I am curious to know if anyone has used radio buttons within the edit mode to change/modify/set variables before. I don't want a radio button widget. I want a complex menu widget that will hide/show selected items within my playbar such as the forward button.
Currently I am using User variables to determine all the hide/shows for my playbar. But I would like to make it more user friendly by having a visual widget people could use to turn buttons on off, set url's for help documents etc. And have everything be based on a per slide basis. just wondering if anyone has done anything like this in the past.
The other part of this is, can I use a widget to construct User variables. In As2 I was able to create variables in root and then set those accordingly without having to add them to every projects user variables. But it appears in AS3 it is not possible to create a variable of a clip/objects parent is anyone familiar with this?
Thanks ahead of time.

Hi zsrc,
If you're using WidgetFactory then here's a post that might give you the information that you need.
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/widgetking/2010/11/widget-properties-how-theyre-used/
As far as the code you'd write in your circumstance, a radio button's selected property tells you if it's... well... selected. So you can write that to a widget property like so:
properties.MyPropertyName = myRadioButton.selected;
That line would be inside the saveProperties template method as mentioned in the article above.
override protected function saveProperties():void
    properties.MyPropertyName = myRadioButton.selected;
Then you can read that property back when the widget is in the published Captivate movie.
override protected function enterRuntime():void
   if (properties.MyPropertyName == true) {
      // The Radio Button was selected. Do stuff
   } else {
      // The Radio Button wasn't selected. Do stuff?

How to differentiate between Radio Buttons with the same name?

My form has two fields, to which I gave the same name ("Radio Button 1.0") in order to achieve mutual exclusivity.
Now, I would like to use JavaScript to retrieve the value of one the two fields:
var checkMark = this.getField("Radio Button1.0");
if (checkMark.value == "Yes") {
Questions:
What is the proper way to inspect the value of a Radio Button? I have tried this:
if (checkMark.value == "No") [...]
but it doesn't seem to work.
How can I tell apart 2 radio buttons with the same name?
TIA,
-RFH

When Radio Buttons and Check Boxes are unchecked their value is "Off", so if you have "Yes", "No" buttons you will also encounter an 'Off" value. Now if you want to look at a given button, you will have to use the "isBoxChecked(nWidget)" method.
nWidget:
The 0-based index of an individual radiobutton or checkbox widget for this field. The index is determined by the order in which the individual widgets of this field were created (and is unaffected by tab-order).
Every entry in the Fields panel has a suffix giving this index, for example MyField #0.
Returns
true if the specified widget is currently checked, false otherwise.
Example
var f = this.getField("ChkBox");
if(f.isBoxChecked(0))
app.alert("The Box is Checked");
else
app.alert("The Box is not Checked");

Is it possible to flip the multiple choice quiz "radio" button from left to right of the answers?

Hello forum,
I am using Captivate version 6.1.0.319 on a Windows 7 desktop PC and would like to know if it is possible to flip the multiple choice quiz "radio" button from left to right of the answers. I am working on a project that uses the "Require Right to Left composer" within the Global Preferences: General settings. The captions has been switched from left to right but the quiz answer radio buttons did not. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, in advance.

Hello and welcome to the forum,
I'm not aware of such a possibility. A workaround could be to create your own MCQ slides, using standard objects and widgets like the radiobuttons widget (there is an enhanced version created by Jim Leichliter) and advanced actions. These articles were written for previous versions, but can give you an idea about the work involved:

How to check Radio buttons with Differfent button values

Good Day,
I am currently trying to write a script that would hide 5 of 6 radio buttons
I have a radio button called "3. Transfer"
with values of :
     Yes;
     Supp;
     Reg; and
     do_not_transfer
as well I have a drop down called "REL.ITEM"
with values of
          3(A);
          3(B);
          4(A);
          4(B); and
          4(C)
I know how to get the value of the box and manipulate other fields
like
//START
var transfer = getField("3. Transfer").value
var relitem = getField("REL.ITEM").value
if (transfer = "Yes" || transfer = "Supp") && (relitem == "4(C)" || relitem == "4(B)"))
     getField("a. recommend").checkThisBox(0,true);
     getField("a. recommend").display = display.visible
    getField("a. I do not recommend").checkThisBox(0,false);
    getField("a. I do not recommend").display = display.hidden
else if (transfer = "do_not_transfer")
     getField("a. recommend").checkThisBox(0,false);
     getField("a. recommend").display = display.hidden
     getField("a. I do not recommend").checkThisBox(0,ftrue);
     getField("a. I do not recommend").display = display.visible
//END
I would like to make it so that if REL.ITEM != 4(A); 4(B); 4(C) that the radio box's with values of "Yes", "Supp" and "Reg" are hidden while "do_not_transfer" is still displayed and checked.
I've been going through forums, google and acrobat documentation and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
Thanks for your help in advance.

if (transfer = "Yes" || transfer = "Supp") && (relitem == "4(C)" || relitem == "4(B)"))
This should be:
if ((transfer == "Yes" || transfer == "Supp") && (relitem == "4(C)" || relitem == "4(B)"))
Similarly,
else if (transfer = "do_not_transfer")
should be:
else if (transfer == "do_not_transfer")
In order to work with an individual widgets of a form field, obtain an object that represents the widget using the getField method as specifically demonstrated in example #2 in the documentation: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.476.html

Radio button tags inserted incorrectly

When creating a radio button in Dreamweaver CS5 the ID value entered is inserted in the id tag and the value tag. The name value gets set to radio.

Using a Radio Button to Disable Multiple Checkboxes

Hi everyone,
My name is Christian and I am trying to design a form using Adobe Designer 7 that when a user selects a group of two radio buttons (one marked Macintosh and one marked Windows) it automatically disables 3 or 4 checkboxes of various software applications further down the page.
The idea is if you select the Windows radio button, you would not be able to select the iWorks or StuffIT checkboxes (as that is Mac software), but conversely if you check Macintosh radio button the iWorks and StuffIT checkboxes activate but the Office 2003 and Microsoft Money checkboxes deactivate (because that is Windows software).
Im not really a developer so any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks for reading and have a great day! :-)
Christian

I suspect that you have a problem in some portion of your code that you have not posted. To help debugging I suggest you create a simple test using two pages: input.cfm and action.cfm. Get the most simple case working then add the javascript, css, and CF code to make your application work.

<html>
<head>
     <title>Input</title>
</head>
<body>
     <form action="action.cfm" method="POST">
          Choose type: <br />
          <input name="type" type="radio" value="male" />     Male<br />
          <input name="type" type="radio" value="female" /> Female<br />
          <input type="submit" />
     </form>
</body>
</html>

<html>
<head>
     <title>Action</title>
</head>
<body>
     <cfif form.type eq "male">
          Type is male.
     <cfelseif form.type eq "female">
          Type is female.
     </cfif>
     Here is a cfdump of the form variables:<br />
     <cfdump var="#form#" />

Read-only radio button or checkboxes save as null

Hi,
I have a form with some fields that are editable by 1 group of users and read-only for another group in certain conditions.
Before the header there is a fetch process to retrieve values from tables. So most fields (read-only & editable) are populated including checkboxes & radio buttons.
All users can edit at least 1 field on the form.
When the save button is pressed a PL/SQL process runs to save the data.
The save works if the field is editable.
If the field is read-only and text it also works.
But if the field is a radio button or checkbox a null is saved in the table.
Any suggestions on how to get the PL/SQL to pick up the read-only radio buttons and checkbox values?

Hi,
I had the same problem in my application and I found another solution instead of using two items. I'm using a computation on page processing that makes a select on my table to get the value for the checkbox. I'm doing this with the same condition as my read-only condition on my checkbox item so I can get the database value when it is lose in the submit process.
Also, I found a difference in the html code between the read-only state of the item and the standard state.
Original state : name="p_v07" (7 because it's the seventh item on my page)
Read-only state : name="checkbox"
I tried to modify this using firebug in execution of the page but without success, the problem is still there.

How can I select a radio button in a table regarding the data in the cells?

Hi everyone
This is the issue: I need to select the RadioButton which is in a table with data related to transfers in the cells next to it, so I need to select the correct radio regarding the data next to it.
This is the whole process: First I go to the Add Recurring Transfer section and select the parameters of the transfer (Accounts, date, amount, months etc), then with VB code I capture those parameters from the page and store them into Global variables for further usage on my E-tester script.
Right after that I need to select the radiobutton regarding the data of the transfer that I already created in order to delete it or modify it (Please see Attachment selectradio1.jpg)
So How can I move along the table and compare each cell with the variables that I created with the transfer information, so when I finish comparing a row cell by cell and if all the comparison match well in that row, I could select the radiobutton of the row.
Note: Second Attachment selectradio2.jpg shows the source code of the table...If you need more info please let me know
Could you please help me with this problem?? I'm Kind of frustrated with this issue jejeje

Here is an example. I uploaded mock html so that you can actually try this code. I think this does exactly what you are asking.
Private Sub RSWVBAPage_afterPlay()
Dim tbl As HTMLTable
Dim tblRow As HTMLTableRow
Dim tblCell As HTMLTableCell
Dim strValue As String
Dim rButton As HTMLInputElement
' ******** This would be your global variable. I put this so that values are seperated by a semicolin you can use what ever format works for you.
strValue = "03/22/2008;03/22/2008;*************1977;*************1977;$25.25;Jan, Jun, Jul, Dec"
' Strip out the ; for inner text comparison
strValue = Replace(strValue, ";", "")
' This will get the table but can be modifoed to be more specific
Set tbl = RSWApp.om.FindElement(, "TABLE")
' This loops through all the rows in the table until a match to the strValue is found
' then clicks the radio button. Findelements allows you to specify a root element
' once the correct root row is found, FindElemets can get the correct radio button
For Each tblRow In tbl.rows
  If tblRow.innerText = strValue Then
    Set rButton = RSWApp.om.FindElement("account", "INPUT", "NAME", , , tblRow)
     rButton.click
   End If
Next
End Sub
I also uploaded the script I created. You should be able to run it and see how it works.
This should get you going.

How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
I’m creating a form where the user has three options to make a payment.
1. charge to my credit card
2. charge associated costs to bank account
3. By cheque or money order
My Problem is, under each option, there are required fields that has to be filled out. So if the user picks the first option, charge to my credit card, they would fill out the required fields (credit card number, expiration date etc.). But when they click submit button to submit the form, it won’t let them, because there are required fields under the second option. Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it. So what I'm trying to do is this: If the user selects the radio button for option 1, the other two options are greyed out/disabled. And if the user holds down the shift key and clicks radio button for option one again, it unchecks the radio button and the other two options are available again. Is there a way to grey out or disable the two other payment options when the other one is picked. I’m assuming I will have to use javascript, but what would the coding be and which field do I write it under?
Thanks in advance guys

You will have to use custom JavaScript to access the various properties of the field object.
The radio button group has a value. When no button is selected that value is "Off". When an individual button has been selected the value for the group will be the option or export value for that individual button.
Once you have determined the button selected, then you will know the form fields that need to be made required. You use JavaScript to access those fields and change the "read only" property to false, and set the "required" property to true. For the fields associated with the other options, those fields should be reset, made read only, and have the "required" property set to false.
Disabling (graying-out) Form Fields
>> Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it.
Radio button in a PDF do not work that way. Only check boxes can be unchecked by clicking on one that has been checked.
If you plan the coding for the Mouse UP action to test for all possible options and code for each of those options you should have what you want.
If you want actual code you need to provide a lot more details.
It is even possible to perform some credit card and bank routing number validations with JavaScript and some check digit formulas.

How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
So this what I'm trying to do:
(     )   |TEXT FIELD|
(     )   |TEXT FIELD|
(     )   |                  |
(     )   |TEXT FIELD|
I have a radio button: (     )
and a text field: |TEXT FIELD|
The third text field is blank, and I would like for the radio button next to it greyed out (user can't click on it) since the text field is blank. Is this possible to achieve? I'm assuming I'll have to use javascript, but what would the code be and would it be entered in the javascript editor for the text field or the radio button?
Thanks in advance guys

Hey, thanks, but it didn't work
I have the text fields as read only. Could that be why it's not working? Should I make the fields not read only?
Thanks,
