Text boxes

Oct 31, 2012

Hi

Can anyone tell me how to stop a slide from moving on to the next slide when the enter key is pressed in a text box?

I have a screen simulation that requires text to be added before moving on.  At the moment when the enter key is pressed for a new line in the text box, the whole slide moves on...

Many thanks!

Hi Jenny

Here's how Storyline handles the Enter key in data entry fields:

*  If the data entry field is tall enough to accommodate more than one line of text, the Enter key will add a line break (return), so the user can start a new paragraph.

*  If the data entry field is only tall enough for a single line of text, the Enter key will assign the user's response to the text field's variable.  In other words, it will submit the user's response.

So, the solution would be to create a taller text entry box. Will that work OK for you?
