Multiple fill-in-the-blank questions in one slide

Hi,

First of all, please note that I am a beginner user of Captivate and I use version 5.5.

For now, I managed to create some simple fill-in-the-blank quizz slides, each of them containing one unique question. I also manage to add "marked blank" text in each fill-in-the-blank box (right click > mark blank). I would now like to add some fill-in-the-blank questions (actually, that would just be some drop-down lists) in a slide, in order to place them wherever I want on the slide.

Is it possible and how should I proceed?

Thanks

Regards

OK, thanks for the details. I will then continue to work with CP5.5.

How can I mark this topic as resolved?    


Embarrassed but when you mark one question as correct, the thread will be marked as Answered. Before this version there was a way to mark it as answered without marking an answer as correct. You can mark several answers as Helpful, but that will not mark the thread as Answered. I'm not a moderator, don't know if those people have more power in their toolbox.

Not sure I understand your question really, and since you don't get any answer I suppose this is also the reason.

Each FIB question slide has only one score, needing to have everything correct to have that score. You cannot have more than one question slide on a slide.

Perhaps you should explain more and post a screenshot to help? Maybe what you want can be done with standard objects like ListBox widget, dropdown or combobox widgets?

I'll try to be more understandable.

On one slide, I'd like to have multiple dropdown lists, each having a unique correct answer. The user would have to select his answers in each dropdown list. When finished, he would validate his answers (with only one Validate button for all answers). "Correct!" would be displayed only if all the answers are correct.

For now, I'm not sure if the widgets would be useful, as I've never used them.

You cannot trigger the validation of multiple Text Entry Boxes via a single button.

Your best bet would be to have the TEBs store values in separate user variables and then have the button trigger a Conditional Advanced Action that validated all the variable values.

Since you are a beginning Captivate user this level of sophistication might be beyond your current abilities.
