Hide_menu

Hi,

I want to hide the menu(TOC) for particular slides in my captivate 6 course.  I have tried using the variable cpCmndTOCVisible by setting its value to 0. But this approach is not working.

Can help me on this.

Regards,

Lokesh V

Here is an imperfect but perhaps workable solution:

You could create your own expand and collapse buttons and replace the in-built TOC icons with blank images so the only visible controls are the ones you've created. This way you can control what slides they appear on and which ones they don't.

Perhaps you can make it work for your own situation. I have a similar solution documented on one of my YouTube tutorials.

You are right, I never could make it happen neither with that new system variable. Probably another bug...It is a Cmnd, should be active, not read-only. Perhaps someone from the Adobe Staff could explain how to handle it?

cpCmndTOCVisible //Shows or hides the TOC. Set the value to 1 to show the TOC. Set the value to 0 to hide the TOC

Any movement on this? I'm also trying to have the TOC close/disappear on certain slides.

Just checked again it is functional but only if the TOC is in Overlay mode. I was able to show the TOC on a slide, then some slides later to hide it again. Using a standard advanced action, because the With dropdown list in the simple Action accordion doesn't allow to choose cpCmndTOC.
