Question

Cp9 - Any way to show Playbar after success on quiz slide?

Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse, but everything I've found relates to earlier versions of Captivate...

My quiz slides are all Knowledge Check Slides.  I have checked "Hide Playbar in Quiz".  Nothing I've tried seems to work to show the Playbar after success on a quiz slide.

I'm not too thrilled about having to roll my own navigation buttons.  However, if that is advised by experienced users that's what I'll do.  I have a lot of courses to build and I need flexibility.

Is it possible to hide/disable just the "Forward" button on the Playbar?  I'm only a few months into Captivate and I may be missing something.

thanks in advance!

    It is a good idea to hide the playbar during quiz, because scrubbing the progress bar in the playbar would allow the user to skip all quiz slides. On content slides the playbar will reappear. Indeed, I almost never use a default CP playbar because it is confusing if the project is ot linear. Why do you want the playbar to reappear on a KC slide? KC slides when revisited are always reset, answers are cleared. You could have a look at this blog post, where I tried to explain the differences between normal quiz slides and KC slides:

    The main reason why I want to show the Playbar is to maintain consistency with the rest of the course and the way the client is used to seeing the interface work.  My courses are at this point all strictly linear.  I'm converting a bunch of old flash based courses to Cp9. I've rolled my own interactions and used Drag and Drops this way successfully - only showing the playbar once the interaction is complete.

    I will check your blog shortly.  As always, I appreciate your prompt input - thank you!

    Oh no - I just realized the user can click and drag on the Progress Bar.  Is there a way to disable that function?  I thought it was a non-interactive item that simply displays the position in the course.
