Question

How can I make sure student does not go to next slide until they fill out text box?

Hi,

I am creating two text boxes that the student must fill out before moving forward. One is for their name and the other is for their email.

What action must I have in order to make sure they fill this out before moving forward? They should not be allowed to move forward until they fill this out.

I am using Captivate 8.

Thank you for your help.

It is very old, wished I had more time for updating but it will no longer be for free in the future (too much abuse)

Thanks for the link. I appreciate it.

We want the student to fill out their name, then go to the next slide and fill out their email address.

As hard to turn off Validate User Input from the Properties panel because that's what the custom widget said we had to do.

I will go through your blog.

Thanks very much.

That is why you have to check if the variable associated with the TEB remained empty (needing the v_null variable). Use a conditional action for the Success event (since it is not validated, you only have that event) to check it, and show the Next button only when there is some input in the variable. Same work flow for the second slide.
