How to Disable Button Click Sound?

I've been trying to disable that default click sound with buttons.(Interactions > Button)

There has been many references on the internet to disable the sound from the button properties/options. I don't see that option in Captivate 8 or 9.

Does anyone know if it's even possible?

Thanks!

You can do it from the Action Properties panel, select the option to Disable Click Sound.

Hi - do you know how to do this globally in Captivate 9 instead of on every object?

Thanks

That "Apply to all items..." option works for existing objects, but not for new objects created after the fact.  In my experience (using Captivate 9), when I create a new Training Simulation (Recording Mode = Training Simulation), new click boxes created during the recording have the Disable Click Sound checkbox deselected.

I've set up a .CPTL template for our team.  I'd like to configure it such that for all projects started from the template, the Disable Click Sound checkbox is automatically selected for all click boxes as they're created during a recording.  I don't want our IDs to have to change the setting after recording.  Is this possible?

It seems like this setting should be available under one of the following places, but it's not:

  • Preferences > Recording > Modes > Training Simulation
  • Preferences > Defaults > Object Defaults > Click Box

Thanks in advance.


DO NOT USE CPTL.  It has major bugs that end up causing Advanced Actions and variables to be duplicated ad nauseum.  Use a normal CPTX file as a 'template' and set it to READ ONLY so that when your team members try to make any changes to it they will be prompted to Save As.
