Does Captivate have a “Button Set” feature?
Here is what I mean by a “button set” feature:
I’m creating a tabbed interaction with 6 tabs. When the user clicks Tab 1, the tab’s state will change to “active” (different shade of blue than the normal state). When the user clicks Tab 2, tab 2’s state will change to “active” and change tab 1’s state to “Visited”, and so forth. However, the user can choose which tab they want to start with, so the user will not always go in order…1, 2, 3, etc.
I have seen in other software where you can group all the buttons together into a button set, so that the button’s will change it’s own state to active and change which ever button was active before the click action to visited automatically. The only thing we as the developer needed to do was indicate which content the action needed to display (and possibly indicate that all the other content that needs to be hidden).
