Selectively Disable TOC Captivate 7

Does anyone know of a way that I can kill the TOC on specific slides in my Captivate 7 project?

I'd like to retain the TOC on the majority of slides but would like it to be inaccessible on some.

Thanks

Hi,

On using TOC in overlay mode, if you do not want TOC to be seen in any particular slide alone, then you can set OnEnter action of the slide as HideTOC and onExit action of the slide as ShowTOC.

Please let us know if it works for you.

Regards,

Haridoss

Thanks but HideTOC only closes the TOC. It would still be accessible via the TOC button, and in my case via this bug: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5894739#5894739

Also be careful with On Exit events, because they only occur if the last frame of the slide is visited.


There are two system variables available for the TOC: cpCmndTOCVisible and cpLockTOC. Cool!

In the slides where you want the overlay TOC to be invisible and also locked in case the user clicks on the TOC button in your playbar create this advanced (or shared) action to trigger On Enter for that slide:

  • Toggle cpCmndTOCVisible
  • Toggle cpLockTOC

If you don't find the command Toggle in the dropdown list, you have to upgrade to the latest version (free). You can save this as a shared action and apply it whenever you want to change status of the TOC.
