• Text entry boxes: how to align the text

  I'm not loving the certificaate widget in Captivate 5 I decided to create my own background image landscape certificate. I added all the text of the certificate to the image so users only things have to do when the lesson of Captivate viewing is enter their name and the date in the text entry boxes. The problem I have is that I do not see a Format tab where I can line up text as I can for areas of legend. Now the names and dates entered by using the text input boxes are entered as left aligned while the background text on the certificate is centered.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  No possibility of alignment in one TextBox entry, sorry. But why not replace it with TextArea Widget? There you have all the possibilities of formatting and if necessary, can be associated with a variable.

• Is it possible to control what is entered in a 'text entry box "?

  In the course that I build, I have several areas where I need to collect student data and it must be of money (for example, their rent, car payment, etc.).  Looks like a text box entry is what I need but I can't figure out how to limit entry to only numbers.  Is it possible to implement a text entry box to limit the type of data that are entered?  If this is not the case, is it possible to get what I need in Captivate at all, or is it just not possible?

  Thank you in advance for any help with this.

• AF:table value of text entry box does not get stored in the database.

  Hello
  I use af:table in my jsff page. The table contains the column of text entry box. After clicking the Create (+) button, a line has been added to the table. I got value into the text entry field and click the 'OK' button to commit the transaction. When I check the database, the entered value is not stored in the database. What I've observed, it's that if I have more than 1 table in the af: table and after entering the value into the text entry field, if I tab out and control moves to the next line, and then click the OK"" button. This time, the value you entered get stored in the database. It's look like, the value of current row is not updated until the action tab. Please help me solve this problem.

  Hello

  How do these?

  using text or text box widget box.

  to describe:

  in my first slide I text entry areas for

  1 user name

  2. name of the superior

  3. the e-mail of the superior court

  Let's say that: 1. refer to varialbe V_UserN

  2. refer to V_sup

  3 see V_emailS

  next slide would be a video

  next slide would be a text entry or a text box... It is where the user writes anything

  With the button "submit" text entry box

  What I want in this text entry box is... If the user does not write any what upone by clicking on the button submit, the interaction would be 'please write a review on the text box. If the user write something the thing, the Send button run continue.

  How can I do this?

  next slide would be an input text field or a text box... in which the user write something on the issue (this isn't a slide of questionnaire). The message would be sent to the email of superiors. How can I do this?

  hope you can help me.

  Thank you

  To check if the user didn't write anything, you will have to compare the value of the associated variable of the TEB or text box with a v_null user variable. You must create this user variable and simply leave it blank.

  Take a look at my blog:

  Where is no good?

  You create the custom with standard objects question slide. There is a widget mail included with Captivate, but did not try if you can insert the value of a variable by an email address.

• Reveal the correct answer in the text entry box

  Hello

  I am a novice Captivate user (Version 5) and I would like to ask for help on the following question:

  I need to have a screen with multiple text entry boxes. When entering text in each box and confirm by pressing "enter", learners only need not comments correct and incorrect, but also the correct text in the text entry box. Is this possible?

  Thank you very much.

  

  Hello

  I searched for an easier solution, if you can live with the fact that the user must follow a certain sequence of complete ETB.

  • create as many slides (duplicates) that you need text input boxes + more to show the final result after the last TEB has been filled
  • on the first slide, the user fills out the first BER; choose these settings:
    • validate user input so that correct legend of success or failure appears
    • do not turn on "keep the text.
    • Choose "Go to the next slide" as well for success with regard to the action of the failure
    • write the properties of the ETB: character (police/size/color), size and position
  • on the second slide, you will make the second TEB with the same settings.
    • Create a rectangle with the same size and position of the TEB on first slide; do the 1pt STROKE and black and white, the fill value or if you have a white background, you can simply set Alpha to 0%: this rectangle will be to mimic the BER of the first slide
    • in this rectangle, you can put the text (double click - No need to caption text): put in the correct answer with the same font as in the ETB properties; given the right answer appear as well to correct regarding the wrong answer, it will be OK
  • on the third blade, you do the same to mimic the second TEB and you put the third TEB

  Really think it's the best way, no use of variables and advanced actions. The user will see the legend of failure or success, and then to the next slide with the right answer.

• Captivate: Keep the cursor in the text entry box

  I would limit the cursor on the input text in a slide area, regardless of where the user can click.

  I am doing a project of training for an application interface text, and I simulate the application entry field by placing a unique text on the slide entry box.  Although the cursor starts in this field when the slide is displayed, if the user can use the mouse to click anywhere but the text entry box, the cursor disappears and the user can enter data until he or she clicks on the text with the mouse input box.  This problem occurs in both the preview and the. Output of the EXE.

  I tried to activate and deactivate the 'click' option under select key... in the parameters text box properties.  I also tried setting the action on the lost update to allow for the text control, or make her display a legend that says "click in the area of selection."  Apparently, remove the cursor of the box isn't enough to trigger the event "has lost the Focus.

  While this isn't a complete show-stopper, it is an irritation that I'd rather not have my users deal with.

  I am using Captivate 4 v4.0.1 build 1658.

  Thanks for any help you can give...

  Hello

  I was able to do the following.

  Insert a box click programmed object to go to the last slide when you click it.

  Insert a text entry box and configure it so that it does not keep the text.

  Insert a blank slide just before the slide with the TEB, then once it is longs.1 seconds. You should also give the same origin as the slide with the TEB. Otherwise, you will see a 'flash', as the previous slide is visited.

  The way this works is that the user clicks anywhere but the BER and transport action click on box to the previous slide. But this slide is really super short. .1 second if it is visited and the read head again enters the slide with the TEB.

  One thing to be aware of, is that if you plan to view the Captivate 'as a whole', which means that you have no idea what browser is used to view it, you must consider the insertion of a button object on the first slide that requires the user to click on it. This way is is moved to the Flash sitting inside the browser object.

  See you soon... Rick

• Adobe Captivate 8 - responses of synchronization in the text entry box

  I would like to limit the time to answer a question using the text entry area, but there is no option in the properties of the input box. I know that I can use the question slides (short answer) because they have an option of limitation in time, but not much can be changed there design wise so I need to use the text entry box.

  You can use the hourglass interaction or the time. It allows you to display a message and go to another slide when the time is up. However, if you are talking about seconds, it is not very accurate.

• How can I view a hand to a button cursor text entry box

  I am using Captivate 5 and have an annoying problem...

  For General click box, there is an option to 'See the hand cursor on the affected area' which will result in the cursor changing to a helping hand when rolling over the click box area in the published presentation.  I want to do the same for the button 'submit' in the text entry box. Is it still possible?  I hope to ensure the coherence of things as a user is clicking on through the presentation.

  I find it odd that it has the same property found on the clickbox because it has the same purpose.  I use a background image screen to simulate an entry in an application, so I'm actually hide the button submit, but the button I want to press lack the hand cursor which would indicate that it is clickable.  I don't want to use a click box to allow the user to switch because I still want a failure in the text entry box to prevent the user from moving.

  Hope that all of the senses.

  Hello

  Another approach is to use a rollover caption. Just remove any text and set the caption as transparent. Then layer the rollover area over the part where you want the hand to implement a cursor. The net effect will be that the cursor change is made. Clicking on will cause then trigger the underlying Submit button that appers to be invisible and laminated on a picture.

  See you soon... Rick

• Text entry box does not show all the text

  I'm creating a simple exercise where I want the user to copy text from the course, paste into word and report back what the number of words.  I thought that perhaps the text entry box would be the best way to go, since if you click the text (the default), you can copy it.  However after I place the paragraph of the text in the box and resize in the editor, until all of the text shows, it does not show all the text during playback is previewd or published.  It only shows the last words of the last row in the upper part of the box.

  Is there something that I am missing?  Or, is there a more easy/better way to do what I need?

  Thank you

  Hi all

  If it Captivate 4, there may be no need of a widget to do this. I'm guessing that you haven't tried allowing the scroll bar for the text of the entry (TEB) box?

  When I just plop a TEB on a blade, I get this in edit mode:

  

  During playback, it looks like this:

  

  But if I change the TEB properties and select the Show scrollbar option:

  

  I get this in the output:

• The text entry boxes reset

  Scenario:
  I am using branching. When they get to the end of a branch and click the close button (click the button), it loops back to the start screen where they can try again, using a different path.
  
  Problem:
  When I click on the close button, it goes back to the start screen - but captivate seems to remember what I did the first time and the fillings in my boxes of text from my previous attempt.
  
  Is there a way to reset the screen when I get back? I'm not familiar with javascript, so I don't know if there's some code avaible that.
  
  Thanks - any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Your information are a little sparse, so let me rephrase your question and tell us where I'm wrong, OK?

  You generate output SWF in Captivate 1.0.1. On the last slide in the project, you placed a click-box or is configured to return to the slide #1 the movie even when the user clicks the button. The problem is that - after his return to the slide #1 to start again - the "answers" to the text entry boxes are already completed, and you don't want them to be. Your knowledge of Java-script is limited, so any solution that involves this language should be gradual. Subject of law?

  I'm not an expert in Java-script is but to refresh the data, you must refresh the movie. One way of doing that would be to access the URL for the film (HTM document) instead of jumping to a previous slide. Have you tried? Another way using the command Refresh () - Java-script, but should do the trick for you - experiment a bit to see if it will work if the idea of "jump to URL" will not do for you.

• Multiple text entry boxes

  Can I get help with text input boxes?  I have a slide where I want the student to enter some multiples of two numbers.  On my blade, I put five text entry boxes.  I wonder what values are correct for the boxes, and I put 8,12,24,12,18, respectively.  I don't know how to proceed after that.  Can I put a single button "Enter" so that the answers will be verified?  If the answers are false, he will tell the student who are wrong?

  Use the variables created by the user for responses - such as v_8, v_12, v_24, v_8, v_18?

  Using variables created by the user allow me to activate Advanced Actions, depending on whether the answers are good or bad and bring them to the next slide in the series if they are correct, or have them redo this slide or to examine multiple if they are incorrect?

  I just want to understand how it goes together.  Thank you.

  

  Indeed, the value that was inserted in the TEB will be displayed, even if you clear the value of the associated variable. You need a widget for this.

  It is not possible to explain the workflow in a forum, sorry.

• Text entry box layout of date

  Hello

  Using CF9 and MS SQL Server 2008. Have a form with JQuery calendar date user insert. Data presented on the column "datetime" of database SQL Srvr.

  Have another form with cfgrid controls (format is html and selectmode is row) and select statement to fill in the data of the mask SQL Srvr. using controls cfgrid date - eg

  < name cfgridcolumn = "BeginDate" header = "Start Date" display = "" headerfontsize = "14px" width = "90" mask = "m/y" type = "date" / >

  The date in the grid is displayed as indicated by the mask - 01/03/11. Have input boxes of text on the form bound to cfgrid - eg

  < cfinput type = "text" name = "BeginDate" bind = "{reqInfo.BeginDate}" readonly = "true" width = "100px" > "

  The date displayed in the text box is killed Feb 24 00:00:00 THIS 2011.

  How can I get input of text boxes to display the date as m/d/y-01/03/11?

  I tried the mask of the text entry box - did not work. I tried convert(varchar,BeginDate,101) as BeginDate

  that also did not work. Any suggestions?

  Thanks - JS

  Change the date to a string type.  Continue to use the convert function, that is, returns a string.
