Click Box Hand Cursor not displaying

Hi People,

I have a page which has 4 click boxes. All have the Hand Cursor selected to show, but only one does. When I click on the area, the text shows as I need it, but I also need the user to be able to see where to click.

Captivate 9/Windows 7 (64bit).

Any ideas?

...or use a shape as button. You have total control over its fill and stroke, and no need to delete the label because it has none by default

But that was not really your question: hand cursor, when checked in the Properties, should display for click boxes. Did you check it in the Actions tab, below Display under the part Others?

Thanks Both,

Yes Lilibiri - Hand Cursor is checked under the Actions tab for all of them. I am going to shift to using a transparent button instead. Will give me more control.

Be careful: look at the states for the transparent button. Transparent button takes on the states of the system buttons (which are mostly not transparent at all - misleading name), and those will have three different colors! It is not sufficient to change the normal state. Either you change the three states in the state view, or you delete the rollover and down state. In Captivate 8 you could disable those extra inbuilt states, in Captivate 9 you have to delete those states. Same for my preferred shape buttons (to avoid you to clear the label).

Click boxes are always invisible.

Use a Transparent Button instead.  Remove the button label text and just format the fill and stroke as you want to make the hit area visible.
