Question

Captivate causes PowerBuilder apps to hang

Hi,

When I use Captivate to create a training movie for a PowerBuilder application, the first time I click on a button on the application I got the "Error Loading Library" message. If I click on the same button again, this time I don't see that same message. Then I click on a drop-down text field, the application hangs. At this point there is not much I could do but to kill the application.

Can someone shed light on this issue. Thanks.

Tuan

Are you sure that Captivate 2 fixed this issue? I downloaded the trial version and it still causes my app, written in PowerBuilder 10, to permanently hang any time I perform an action such as clicking on a drop down field.

I would LOVE to have this fixed with Captivate 2 because it could save me literally months of work. Please tell me I'm doing something wrong.

Steve,

I have not used Captivate 2 yet. I assume the PowerBuilder 10 drop down list issue is resolved with Captivate 2 as indicated in privious reply. If not, I am sure they will resolve this issue soon.

Thanks, I will try it. I hope I will be able to persuade my company to use Captivate to create application trainings for our customers.

I just want to say that this forum has been very useful. Keep it going, guys!!!!!
