 Post subject: Checkboxes - Quick way to implement in OPUS 2.8
PostPosted: December 6th, 2004, 11:37 pm 
Although I've managed to create Checkboxes (tick boxes) by using 2 images and plenty of actions to show or hide one or the other, is there a simpler way. I just want a standard tick box that when the user clicks it, a tick appears inside. Just the standard Windows sort of thing.
Im creating a quiz with multi choice.
Just wondered if Im missing a simple way, as I can't find checkboxes anywhere to put in my pub - I know you guys running the more expensive PRO probably have this facility built in, but Im just a poor boy using OPUS 2.8

Any suggestions (keep it clean!!!!!)

Mark --

Create a Button Object for each answer. Use PaintShop Pro to draw a box image. Make a copy and put a check mark in the second box.

Open the Button's Image tab (for each Button) and insert the empty box. On the left side of the Button's Property window, click on the Depressed icon. Open the Image tab for when the Button is depressed and add the second box with a check mark. Do this also for all the other Buttons.

Finally, select all of your Buttons at the same time, and go to Properties. Under the Button tab, check the Radio Buttons option. All of your Button should now be in the same Group #1

Run the Pub in Preview. When you click a Button, it will have a check mark. Now click another Button, the first check mark should disappear, and only the second Button's check mark should appear. This will work for as many Buttons (answers) as you want. Since you only want one correct answer -- this will make that mandatory. You'll have to code this to determine which Button is pressed.

Further to Fred's reply, once you have created a fully-functional checkbox, you could copy the button to a gallery for future use.

Kind regards,
