Using Value in a Text Entry Box for Calculation in a Variable

I have a project where I ask the user to fill in their name in one entry box and their two-digit age in another text entry box. Later in the project, I want to ask them to think back to when they were 6 years old and how they would describe themselves at that time. (the project is on self-awareness). To make this as personable as possible, I thought it would be neat to say. "(Name Variable), think back to about (Years Since 6)years ago, when you were just about 6 years old". I am having trouble getting the "Years Since 6" variable to work, and would like to know if it is possible.
I have set up the text entry box variable as "v_age"
I have set up a variable as "v_age6" with a value of "6"
I have set up the result variable as "v_result_age6"
I have set up a standard action with a mathematical expression that reads "v_result_age6 = v_age - v_age6"
The variable output does not show on the stage in project preview mode, and I think it's because there is only one variable with an assigned value in the equation. The "v_age" variable does not have an assigned value because that is a text entry box.
Is it possible to use a value typed in from a user as a variable to do math with?
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum,
Each TEB has an associated variable, its generic name is the same as the TEB. But you'd better link your variable with the more significant name to the TEB. Have a look at this real old blog post, still valid (although maybe the screenshots are bit out of date):
http://blog.lilybiri.com/timesaving-tip-create-associated-variable-for
BTW: you didn't need to create an extra variable for the number 6. This action would have done as well:
Expression v_resultage6 = v_age - 6
How do you trigger the action, by which event?

Using text entry Box or Text are button

Hi,
How do I do these?
using text entry box or text area widget.
to describe:
in my first slide I have text entry boxes for
    1. User name
     2. name of superior
     3. email of the superior
let say: 1. refer to varialbe V_UserN
             2. refer to V_sup
             3. refer to V_emailS
next slide would be a video
next slide would be a text entry or a text area..this is where the user writes anything
     Text entry box with submit button
What I want from this text entry box is..if the user doesnt write anything, upone clicking the submit button, the interaction wouldbe "please write a review on the text area"..if the user write something the something, the submit button will execute continue.
how do I do this?
next slide would be a text entry box or a text area..wherein the user write something based on question (this is not a quiz slide). The message would be sent to the superiors email. how do I do this?
hope you can help me.
Thanks

To check if the user didn't write anything you'll have to compare the value of the associated variable of that TEB or Text Area with a user variable v_null. You have to create that user variable and just leave it empty.
Have a look at my blog post:
Where is Null?
You'll have to create the custom question slide with standard objects. There is an mail widget included with Captivate, but didn't try out if you can insert the value of a variable as an email address.

An Array of Text Entry Boxes

I am trying to make a servlet that has an array of text entry boxes for entering numbers. By changing numboxes, I would be able to vary the number of boxes. The problem is that it is only finding the first occurrence of the text entry boxes.
If the idea of an array of text entry boxes is totally stupid, feel free to say that as well, as well as any suggestions as to a better basic approach. Thanks!

Text Entry Box not displaying

Hello,
I apologize if this has been answered prior, but I've searched and couldn't find a solution (although I might just be terrible at searching).
Whenever I do a software simulation recording in a particular Captivate project (I'm running 5.5), the recording doesn't seem to auto-insert the TEB's for the text fields I've used (at all). Instead, when the slide that's suppoesed to require text-entry is shown, it just auto-fills all the text I entered during the simulation and skips to the end of the slide. I can't for the life of me figure out why; there are no TEB's on the timeline either for that slide.
I do have my Custom settings setup to "Automatically Add Text Entry Boxes for Text Fields"
Any idea why this is happening?

Hi there
Unfortunately there are a few variables in this equation. Captivate may not understand that a text entry field is a text entry field. It sometimes misunderstands other controls it encounters. I believe that it largely depends on how the application developer elected to name the element. I believe that's how Captivate knows what an element is. By its name. So if an application developer created a Text Entry field but named it something obscure, Captivate fails to recognize it as such and insert the appropriate element.
The good news here is that you are free to add any element you like after you have recorded. So even though Captivate failed to catch it, there's nothing preventing you from manually adding it. It's a hassle to have to do it, but at least you aren't prevented from doing it.
Cheers... Rick

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.

Text Entry Box--Advanced Actions--Conditional Statement--Double quotes in literal input value

Hello forums,
I'm new to the forums (and Captivate in general), but I'm having a real problem carrying out a tutorial design and I think you may be my only hope. Let me explain what I want to do and the difficulty that I'm having:
I'm an instruction librarian at a university, and I'm designing an interactive tutorial for English 100 students to complete in order to become familiar with how to search the library catalog. What I've done is taken a screenshot of the catalog search page, made it the background of a slide in Captivate (vers. 6), and placed a text entry box over the search bar in the screenshot. The idea is for the students to conduct a simulated search by choosing one of three suggested search string formulations, and depending on the search string they enter, the tutorial will jump to a slide featuring a screenshot of what the actual search results would look like. The idea is to emphasize the use of keywords over full-sentence phrases, and the use of double quotation marks to enclose multi-word search terms.
So I've set the action for the TEB to "Execute Advanced Actions" and then created some IF/THEN statements in the "Advanced Actions" pop-up window (with action type set to 'conditional'). The script is such that if the student enters the first search option (how does sleep affect college students) in the TEB, the tutorial jumps to 1 slide, if they enter the second option (college students AND sleep), featuring a Boolean operator (AND), the tutorial jumps to a 2nd slide, and if they enter the third option ("college students" AND sleep) with the double quotes around "college students" and the Boolean operator, the tutorial should jump to a 3rd slide. This action script works fine for the first two input options, but I can't make it work for the third search option.
I think that it has something to do with the fact that the third input option features double quote marks, and this seems to throw off the script (I tried a quote-less input value for the third IF/THEN just to make sure that it would work jumping to the 3rd slide and it did), and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can get around this issue. Again, I need it to work so that if the student enters "college students" AND sleep, with the quote marks and the Boolean operator, the tutorial will jump to a slide showing the search results if those search terms were used in a real search of the catalog.
I'd be extremely grateful for any help that anyone here can give me, we've been trying to make our online tutorials more engaging and interactive (and therefore more interesting), and I think this would be a great way to teach students about using quotes in their catalog searches.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Andrew Wilk

The tutorial is for a "how to use catalog searching" instruction in an undergraduate library session. We use boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) to combine search terms, ex. to search for books about the sleeping habits of college students, I would enter "college students AND sleep." Because "college students" is a multi-word phrase to describe one concept, I need to put quotation marks around the phrase to prevent the catalog from searching for the individual words separately, so the most correct search becomes ["college students" AND sleep] with quotation marks around only "college students," a user-typed "AND," and the word "sleep" (no q-marks).
A colleague of mine worked out a pretty cool (if complicated) solution that I'll share if anyone is interested. Since the q-marks where the problem, we've set it up so that the TEB validates the response for the search string with q-marks around "college students." If they enter it correctly, the tutorial jumps to the corresponding slide. The attempt # is set to 1, and if the user fails to enter the validated phrase (they misspell or use one of the other response options) then the TEB is set to run an Advanced Actions Script in which the other two options are scripted in IF/THEN statements that cause, when the term is entered correctly, the tutorial to jump to their corresponding slides. We've created another tab of IF/THEN statements that say that if the response is NOT equal to one of these response options, then the slide restarts (technically the slide "jumps" back to itself and starts over) and the user gets another chance to start the cycle over again.
I know this is confusing (I had a really hard time explaining it in words), so if anyone is interested I could make a Jing video when I have some time.
Thank you for all your suggestions

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

Text entry box actions based on value

Hi there..
I am currently working on a software simulator where users search for orders by typing an order number in a search field... In Captivate I have created a Text Entry box with "submit" button, what I am trying to achieve in is if the user type specific value (numbers) and click "submit" button it will take them to a specific slide in the project BUT if they type difference value (in the same text entry box) and click "submit" button it will take them to different slide in the project ?
hope I have explained the question clearly.. btw I am using Captivate v5
thanks

OK, you know how to add the correct entries. Set attempts to infinite, and create this conditional action to trigger by Success for the TEB:
I created a user variable to associate with the TEB instead of the generic one, it is labeled v_order. I labeled the slides to jump to as well, makes it easier to use in an advanced action. Screenshots are from CP8, so will look bit different for you, but what you hneed is the same.

Submit All button for all text entry boxes at end of exam in Captivate 7

Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum, and I was hoping that someone could help me out with a problem that has been eating my lunch for the last week.
I have a captivate 7 project that I am setting up as a virtual workbook, with text entry boxes asking true/false, yes/no, and short essay questions through out the most part of the workbook, and then at the end it has a series of multiple choice questions that are set up on question slides. Is there a way to have all of the text entered in the text entry boxes submited along with the quiz questions at the end, to my LMS? And if at all possible, still inform the user if there are any questions that have not been answered? Like I said, I am new to this forum, so if I forgot to include any important information, I apologise, but if anyone could help me ouot, I would be extreemly thankful!
thanks,
Luke

thenks for the reply Lilybiri! As far as I have been able to find, there is no way to associate a submit all button with TEBs, so I am not sure if this is something that I am overlooking, or if I am misunderstanding the recomemendation.
What I am trying to do is set up a bunch of TEBs to be answer entry boxes for questions throughout the workbook, which will lead up to an exam. The exam, I am good on, because it has the submit all button attached. But the TEBs that I am using as the answer entry boxes, I can't seem to find a way to link them all to the same submit button.
I hope I am being pretty clear about it, but I've been pounding away at this for a while, so I fear it might come out a but rambly. So, please let me know if I need to clarify anything.
Thanks!

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.

Force user to use text entry box?

Hello,
Is there a way to require the user to enter something into the text entry box in order to proceed without just removing the forward buttons in the play bar? (That has been my trick until now.)
Thank you!

Text entry box instead of typing

In order to capture the screens I need, I have to enter text by typing it into a form. But I don't want the text I'm typing to appear in the final project. Instead, I want remove the typed text and replace it with a text entry box so that the learner can type in their own text.
Is it possible to convert typed text into a text entry box?
Is there a preference setting that would prevent the typed text from showing or convert it to a text entry box?
I hope someone can help with a suggestion.

You can add the text entry box (TEB) on top of the required field, assign a variable to this TEB and in later slides, insert a smartshape and call this variable wherever required.
However I see some challenges in this, depending on your specific requirement.
1. If this variable is called 50 slides later, you should add a smartshape and call this variable 50 times. A bit tedious task.
2. Depending on the UI color changes, you should also change the smartshape color as many times in as many slides if you want to match the colors. Same with smartshape positions. Again, a tedious task.
3. What if this value is partially shown on a slide? A good lot of graphic editing work there. Use case: The user is creating a child node for some tree structure and you want to use this feature to let the user enter any node name he wants. Later in some other screen, this node (as part of the tree) appears on the right pane and the pane is partially hidden, then you will have to hide this new text also partially.
There may be few more challenges you might want to consider before deciding this.

Text Entry Boxes and their content not being captured in Automatic Recording

I have searched the forums here and elsewhere extensively and whilst I have found people with similar issues, I have yet to find a solution. My problem is this:
I am trying to record myself using a piece of software which contains numerous text fields. In the past, when using Captivate 3, I would simply fill out these fields and Captivate would record my entries automatically. When the project was played back, the training simulation would pause and allow the user to type in the text field and provided the entry matched the options I had defined, the simulation would continue to the next step.
So, my colleague and I have since bought Adobe Tech. Comms. Suite 2 and have upgraded Captivate 3 to version 4. Ever since doing this we have both been unable to successfully capture text entry boxes with their content when recording automatically in any mode. We have checked and triple checked the settings to make sure that the automatic capture of text entry in fields is turned on yet we still cannot get Captivate to perform this task it once so easily could. We both suffer from the same problem on both of our installations of Captivate 4. We have tried recording in all modes with no success.
I am tearing my hair out as I need to come up with some sample content for a major Governmental client which would be worth a 5 figure sum to my company and I really don't relish having to manually create every text entry box as there are a LOT of them in this application!
I have also reported this as a bug to Adobe using the correct form. As yet, no response.
I would really appreciate any genuine help that can be offered by you guys.
In desperation,
Rob.

Ok, I think I've sussed it!
I've been pulling my hair out for weeks on this and after posting on here, I decided to try something and I think I may have found the problem.
I work with a laptop as I am a Trainer and therefore quite mobile. When I'm in the office, I dock my laptop and use the Extended Desktop functionality of Windows so I have my laptop screen and a second 19" monitor which i find incredibly useful as screen real estate is always at a premium. And this is where I believe the problem lies.
I performed a simple test and have repeated this test with identical outcomes everytime. Here is what I did. I fired up Captivate and Outlook and opened up a new mail window in Outlook. I then set Captivate to record the new mail window and hit record. I typed some text into the To field and the Subject field and then stopped the recording. I then previewed the results. When the new mail window was on my primary screen, (i.e the laptop) the Text Entry Box recording worked 100% fine. However, if the new mail screen was residing on my secondary screen, i.e. the monitor, the Text Entry Box recording failed!
So it would seem that Captivate 4 has an issue with seeing the text entered on a secondary monitor when Windows is running in Extended Desktop mode. I am absolutely certain this wasn't an issue with Captivate 3 as I created plenty of content without any of these problems and I was using the Extended Desktop back then.
So, if anyone else is having the same issue, and you are running an Extended Desktop, try what I did above.
In the meantime, I am raising this issue with Adobe in the hope they can get this fixed, but at least now I can carry on with my content creation
Regards,
Rob.

Text Entry Box not working right??

This is strange…. If anyone has any thoughts…
that would be great.
I have a slide that tests someone's knowledge for inputting
into a text entry box. I want to give them 2 tries for doing this
task - and if they don't perform the task correctly, I want an
error message to display. However, I want the error message to be
different based on the 1st time that they try and the second time.
The method to accomplish this.. I have done many times, and has
always worked. However, for some reason, it's not working this
time.
In order to customize the error message based on whether it's
the 1st try or the second - I have created 2 text entry boxes.
The first text entry box is set to display at 0 seconds, is
set to display for 2 seconds and is set to pause after 1.5 seconds.
If the user enters a successful text entry the user will be
navigated to the next slide, if the user enters an incorrect text
entry they will continue on the same slide and a failure caption is
selected to display (this is the first error message that displays
for the first try.)
The second text entry box is set to display at 2 seconds, is
set to display for 2 seconds and is set to pause after 1.5 seconds.
If the user enters a successful text entry the user will be
navigated to the next slide, if the user enters an incorrect text
entry they will continue on the same slide. No failure caption is
selected to display. This is the important point... I have not
selected for a failure caption to display for this text entry box.
I have a text caption that displays at 4 seconds - this is
the second error message that the user will see if they input an
incorrect text entry into the second text entry box.
Everything seems to work fine except... for some reason, when
I enter an incorrect text entry into the second text entry box, I
get the failure message that I set for the first text entry box.???
Very strange. I have recreated this 3 times - each time it works.
Then, all of a sudden, it stops working. I’ve even tried
recreating the movie from scratch… but same results.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Lynn

Hi again
Okay, makes sense. I suppose in this case, I'd simply use
another slide. From what you have explained, it would appear there
is a possible issue Captivate is having with multiple text entry
boxes on the same slide.
So I would insert a slide following the existing slide. Then
on failure of the first text entry box, direct to the next slide.
On success of the first text entry box, skip over the new slide to
the proper "continue" slide.
Hopefully that makes sense... Rick

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
