Adobe Captivate Classic Radio Button Widget Won't Resize

New Here ,
Aug 19, 2025 Aug 19, 2025

Hi, I'm using Captivate Classic (CpC) 2019.  I'm struggling with the radio button widget. I've inserted a widget through Interactions > Learning Interactions. I am able to add my text and adjust font by double-clicking into the widget. I'm also able to delete a radio button from there (I only want one radio button). But I'm having two issues. 

 

  1.  No matter what I do to resize the widget box (whether I use the handles or adjust in the properties menu), the content gets cut off. The radio button only has one sentence, and I cannot get that to display properly both in CpC and in preview. Also, as I'm adjusting the widget size, it just becomes bigger and blurrier - but no matter how big I make it, it still cuts the sentence off from displaying.
  2.  According to this post, I should have action and reporting options for the widget, but I don't. All I can adjust in the properties panel are Style, Options., and Timing. 

 

If I cut my sentence down to the bare minimum and have it be just "Yes I agree" it fits, but the second issue still stands - there are no actions associated with the widget/radio buttons. What happens when a user clicks the radio button? I just need it to take them to the next slide and also count as part of the scoring. Maybe I should just create my own custom button?

If you want actions associated with the button then I would recommend you DO create your own faux radio button instead of trying to use this widget.  You can create a smart shape button with multiple states that mimics the radio button, and it has the added advantage that it can also be as big as you want.  You can use Advanced Actions to change the state of the button when clicked so that it mimics the selected state of a radio button, etc.

 

You can then also add this button to the quiz so that it contributes to the user's score when clicked.  Much more useful.
