Digital keyboard and text entry area

I created a software simulation in which I used a text entry box. The user must enter the text and Captivate must validate without the learner input (for example, press the Enter key).

The text ends with the number seven. Therefore, I put Captivate to validate text input when 7 came.

Here's the problem:

If a learner uses keys on their keyboard (instead of the keys above QWERTY), Captivate does not validate the text input.

Any advice?

Eureka! This works. Thank you much for the help. I had not used the option button in conjunction with a text input area, so I did not see how the two could be tied together. Your second answer makes clear. Thank you very, very much. Best regards, Ian

  • Average click boxes, and text entry fields are noted

    I create several CBT intended to show users how to navigate a new software. When I record, I choose the demonstration and training modes. For the part in training mode, I have several click boxes, and text entry fields. At the present time, when the user clicks on or between text, it has to click in the right place or enter the correct answer to move forward, otherwise a failure caption appears that says something to the effect of 'should have clicked here, please try again.' They try again and go to the next slide. When the training section is marked, everybody gets 100%.

    I was wondering if it is possible to create a user click in the wrong place or enter the wrong answer and still be able to advance to the next slide. So, not everyone would have a 100% automatic.

    Thank you!

    P.S. I should also mention that I am using Captivate 4.

    Hello Mary,.

    As I wrote in my first response, simulation training is not intended to be marked. You should really start with a simulation of assessment to avoid having too many change thereafter.

    Have created a lot of assessments used in examinations (do not use an LMS, but this is not necessary) and my students would have been very happy if they could all have scored 100%.

    Enough joking. How you have configured the settings for the click boxes, text entry boxes, buttons? I give them only 1 attempt, never show failure, success, or legends of suspicion. As both actions for success or failure, I put in 'go to the next slide. The evaluation progresses so what was the action of the user, correct or incorrect. And the score will be awarded only if the user has performed the correct action. It works fine, really. If some actions need to be repeated several times, sometimes I will put the note of some of them to 0.

    Really think you can change the training simulation to work as an assessment, in the future it would be best to start with the last mode, possibly in combination with a demonstration or a training simulation.

    Does that help? My assessments are in Dutch, otherwise I could send you an example.

  • Text captions do not appear when it is used with text entry areas (C3)

    I'm building a simulation of accounting system where the learner needs to enter data.  I entered text boxes (one per blade) appearing all the time on the slide.  I have captions that tell the student what to enter, but are synchronized with the audio, then a final text legend who told them how to go to the next slide (press tab, etc.).  My problem is that the text captions do not appear if they are configured to appear after the text input area appears on the time line.  Has anyone experience this problem?  Any suggestions?

    We have created a work around using a highlight box where the text entry box will appear later - so that all the text captions and text entry boxes appear at the same time.  Should be an easier way!

    Hello

    Yes, we see this question over and over again. Especially with new users.

    You need to come to terms with the works of Captivate. Imagine it's like a stream flowing by. Expect a legend to appear, but something stopped the flow. Blocking is your text box for entry (TEB). He interrupts the slide, waiting for your user to enter data.

    The key here is that you need to adjust the point break for ETB.

    See you soon... Rick

  • To combine PDF files, how can I keep security to prohibit printing and text entry?

    To combine PDF files, how can I keep security to prohibit printing and text entry? In Windows Explorer, I highlight the individual PDF files, right click and choose "combine with Adobe Acrobat. I'm done and get my single file with all the PDF pages included, but nowhere I can't find where them prohibit printing of the any PDF combined or refusing to be seized of the text... as I'm able to do when I export to PDF from InDesign.

    It's really a question of Acrobat, but in any case the answer is you open the file in Acrobat and go to properties (Ctrl + D), and then click the Security tab.

  • Captivate 9 - text entry area - cannot navigate through the input of text boxes on the same slide using enter key (works only tab)

    I designed a slide that has 3 areas of text entry.

    I need the user to be able to type in their response to the first box and then press the ENTER key, it will pass them in the next text box. After typing in their response to the second box, press ENTER, and then have developed pass to the third area.

    I don't want to use tab, I want to go to work as a shortcut key, so this works well on all devices. It feels like a trip to the logic of the user.

    I removed the button SUBMIT and check the validate user input.

    I put the shortcut key to ENTER in propriety / Actions area

    However, after that type in an answer and pressing on enter, the focus is not moved in the input text box available at the following address on the same blade.

    This happens regardless of browser (tested Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and IE9/10) and also OS - Windows 7, Mac OSX 10.9, 10.10 and latest version of iOS

    Only the tab key works (Ive even tried with other keyboard shortcuts and it always comes back to TAB).

    I know that this feature is possible in Captivate 9. I have read and watched many tutorials online, it seems a very basic feature. I could be wrong.

    This is a feature of wholesale/known or I'm doing something wrong.

    If a bug, is there a plan to fix it soon?

    Indeed, your problem is related to the Enter key as a shortcut key, not to have multiple TEB and one absolutely validation button. Take a look at this article very old (you are not the first to ask about this):

    A submit button for multiple text entry boxes? -Captivate Blog

    But here I explained to indicate to the user click in a next TEB, do not use input.

  • Multiline text entry area

    The library QNX has any user interface element for text entry that takes several lines. For example the kind of thing you would find in a text editor such as Notepad. It seems that something very basic, but I can't seem to locate a class for itself in the API. The closest thing I can find is the TextInput class, but that is optimized for the single line.

    I was wondering if I missed it, or if it does not exist. And if not, are there no other alternative, we can use?

    Thank you!

    Hey,.

    you do not have missing something. Unfortunately there is not an existing input QNX mult-line text object. However, there are some workaround solutions and others, you can find in these forums. one in particular is a thread linked below. Basically, you need to change the internal textField object of the input text to make it work. Here is the link:

  • Help to the text entry area

    Hi all.

    I'm working on a project involving financial statements. I want that there is a default quantity in the text entry box. There are boxes of maybe 20 who would need a put option of default number in them. I just can't understand how do. The user will then put in the new numbering as appropriate, and then he'll see if it's the correct number or not. Don't know if I will check each one after you enter the number or ask them to fill it in there and click on submit. It's still a work in progress. Ideas on the default number would be useful.

    Lisa

    You must complete this variable, which can be made when you set these variables by placing it in the 'Value' field in the Variables dialog box.

    As I have explained, I have used which instead of use the literal value to make it easier to change this value for comparison.

  • Text entry area > background transparency to Cp5

    I have a project where I need to put in place all the objects of Text_Entry_Box with a transparent background 0% while keeping black text by default visible input characters.  When I apply a transparency of 0% value to the property "Fill & STROKE > Fill ' of the object Text_Entry_Box, the whole of the text box and its contents displayed in transparency of 0%; input background characters and text of the box are not visible on the Flash preview or publish.

    • Enter property element of the text box is set "visible".
    • Property 'Display the text framework Box' is not selected
    • No fade transition is applied to objects
    • There is no timeline stops keep popping up
    • With the help of Cp 5.0.0.596 (Win)

    Note that in previous versions of the Cp I have managed to make the background transparent text entry box object while keeping the visible text (with no problems).

    Could be a possible bug in Cp5 or I'm missing something.  Any ideas out there?

  • As a mandatory field text entry area

    Dear reader,

    I am to complete an E-Learning courses in Adobe Captivate 8. Everything goes well.

    However, in order to apply for approval of the course, it should be impossible to present an area of empty text input. I have read on this Forum and elsewhere and found a lot of possibilities with the progress actions and variables. I do not understand the basics of the application variable and put in place of advanced actions, but I am not able to apply this knowledge and make it work.

    Is there an (easy) answer? An instruction step by step to require users to enter a text input area?

    I hope some of you can help!

  • objects (lines) and text boxes are not able to make larger or smaller

    first: for no reason at all, all my text boxes are now implemented in the text block.  I don't know how that lit.  When I go to 'type '.

    and try to choose "threaded text" it won't allow me to select - it is not highlighted.  So I have no idea

    How to disable this option.  Now, I can't stretch my text boxes depending on what is in them - IE: make bigger or smaller, that is to say: there's only two boxes hanging out - one on each side of the text box and they allow me to drag to enlarge the box - only to move the whole box (before there were 4 boxes to manipulate the size of the text box - a on every corner - now, there only two) and this seems to apply

    in many other objects now.  When I draw a line, I have to make sure that the line is the exact right size because once I have draw - it will not allow me to make it larger or smaller - it only allows me to move it to a different location - I don't understand what's going on

  • How to set the default text for a text entry area dynamically?

    I do a simulation and grabbing a my user text entry.  I store in a variable and you want to use as the default text for a text entry later in the simulation box.  It seems like it would need current for a software simulation.  However, I don't see a way to set the default text.  If I put the variable in a legend, I would use the syntax $$variablename$ $.  I tried to fix this in the text by default, but it did not work.  It is not interpreted as a variable.  Does anyone do this?  Please share.  Thank you.

    I had a need to do that as well... put a variable as default text name in a TBE field.

    I have a widget AS3 to do this, which can be found here.  There a Cp 4 demo file that does exactly what you describe.

    I would like to know how it goes...

  • Text entry area: cursor may be positioned at the beginning of default data?

    I have a text input box on my slide with the default "$ 3.82.

    I need the user to type "$ 3.00" (3, or 3.0 or 3.00, etc..)  :-)

    Question: In its current form, when the slide is displayed, the cursor is in the input text box * after * the '2'. Is it possible in any way, shape, or form to have the cursor initially appear * before * the ' $'?
    (I have dug in the program and on this forum, but have not found an answer one way or another.)

    Thanks anyway.

    Hi John

    Unless someone has developed a custom Flash widget you might fall into a slide to do it, I'll tell you the answer is no. I've never known the purpose of text box entry to never behave differently from what you report. Think about it, my guess is that if you were to reposition the cursor, a new problem appears in that the text following the cursor would then move to the right, as new data have been entered.

    Just an observation here. I guess you have planted the box with a default value, so you might clue the user what to type. So, my thought here is to suggest possibly doing this via a text caption is close?

    Think a little here, it would be nice that when seeding a area text input in this way by default text, Adobe to have automatically selected for us when reading text. If you feel the same way, please consider submitting a form would like to request a change of behavior.
