Restricting seekbar navigation possible?

Question

Using CP8I have a client who is requesting the removal of the progress bar because they do not want learner to be able to skip past a bunch of content. I like having the progress bar because it indicates progress and aids in navigation. The only thing that stops the progress bar from being used to skip past all slides are quiz slides where the learner is required to answer the question before they can proceed. Is it possible simulate this for non-quiz slides so the learner can not drag the progress bar across multiple slides? So clicking an object like a NEXT button would "submit the correct answer" for that slide?

This is a repost of my workaround which works for restricting navigation. I could not change the original post so am creating new one.

You would follow this procedure to prevent someone from using the seekbar to skip over several slides at at time.

Found a pretty nice workaround for this, for my case. I believe this would only work if you're using buttons/objects on the screen to navigate vs. using the Forward button on the playbar.

When you create a NEXT button, go to the Reporting section and check the Include in Quiz check box. You'll want the Next button on every slide to have this.
I unchecked both of the other 2 check boxes below. You have have at least one point.

In Preferences -->Quiz --> Reporting, uncheck Enable reporting for this project
In Preferences -->Quiz --> Settings, from the Required list choose the "Answer all..." entry.
Uncheck the other checkboxes as needed.
In Preferences -->Quiz --> Pass or Fail, put 0 % or more of total points to pass and change If Failing Grade to Infinite Attempts.
Hide the Quiz Results slide

Now, if a learner attempt to scrub past whatever slide he/she is on, they won't be allowed to.

This is also assuming you don't have a real quiz. If you do, it will still work, but you just can't uncheck as many options, and you'll have to determine how adding 1 point will affect the passing score.
