Using Captivate 7, I inserted a click box and used the success message to display a check mark. But I'd like users to be able to click again to remove the checkmark - making it act like a toggle.is it possible to have a click box that when clicked displays a checkmark, and when clicked again hides the checkmark?

    Hi Jay,

    You'll need a toggle button, either with a click box or with a shape (that you can make invisible as well) used as a button. Here are some scenarios for toggle buttons:

    Either you have two click boxes in the same place, each with a standard advanced action. First click box is visible, second is invisible. By clicking the first click box, you'll show the checkmark, hide the first click box and show the second click box. With the second click box, do the contrary: hide the checkmark, hide the second click box, show the first click box. It is also possible with one click box, but then you'll need a user variable and a conditional advanced action. See blog post.

    Lilybiri,

    Your suggestion works great. I'm using two click boxes in the mae place because it seemed like a simpler solution for me.

    However, when I preview the slides, as soon as I click on one of the clickboxes to show a checkmark, the slide audio stops.

    I wonder if this has something to do with the last step in each action, which is "Assig cpcmdGotoFrame with cpInfoCurrentFrame. I had to do that so that the slide didn't time out and go to the next slide before the learner had time to click.

    Can you help solve this problem with the audio?

    Check your settings for each click box under Properties > Audio > Stop Slide Audio.  It could be that one or more of the click boxes is set to stop the slide audio when clicked or paused.
