Question

Progression Bar

Hello,

I am using the latest captivate 9 desktop version and would like to add a "progression bar". Basically when the users clicks on "next" button to go to the next slide, the progression bar would increase. The progression bar should be able to increase or decrease when the user either clicks on "previous" or "next" buttons.

By default, the only closest thing that relates to this is "question 1 of 20", which I would like to replace with the progression bar.

Not sure if there is a widget for this or someone already accomplished this task at hand. Been searching for awhile looking for this particular feature and any advice / links would be greatly appreciated.

Note:

I am working on a quiz application in responsive mode.

    In response to Lilybiri and Paul, thank you very much for these valuable feedbacks. My intentions was not to create an atmosphere to "air out dirty laundry" but seek professional guidance in a public forum. It is with hope that I can feel welcomed back for future support.

    Best regards,

    Scott

    In my two latest blog posts I created a progress bar, to show the number of correctly answered questions.

    A similar approach could be used, since I discovered that you can change states of an object, which is displayed for the rest of the project, from other slides than the slide where the object is inserted.

    Use this approach:

    • Create the 'bar' as a multistate object with as many states as you have slides
    • Time that object for the rest of the project
    • Create a conditional actions to be triggered On Enter for each slide; check the slide number (cpInfoCurrentSlide has that number) and show the appropriate state for that number

    Since you are on CP9 multistate objects are available. Check version number, be sure to have the latest version 9.0.2.437.

    Lilybiri,

    This looks very promising, would you happen to have a sample project that I can look more in depth to see all the intricate parts doing its magic?

    I am also using  cpExtra widget.

    CpExtraWidget could make it easier, would have to reflect on it, maybe I'll write a blog when I find an easy way.

    Sorry, I'm just a user like you, I don't provide sample projects. Maybe eLearning Brothers or Staff can help you?
