I have a slide that is an interactive lightbox. I want to ensure that the participants click on 3 different hot spots on the lightbox slide prior to closing the lightbox. on regular slides, i use a variable and add a value each time they click, then activate next button based on = to or > than the required # of clicks. Any way to prevent them from clicking on the lightbox "x" to close the window until they complete all the interactive elements on the lightbox slide?? Can't seem to figure it out!
My short answer is "No". Someone correct me if I am wrong.
Have you considered just using a slide, detached, which could be called from a course tab, or a button on another page. Hide the navigational controls for the slide so the only way out is a RETURN button which returns to previous.
To get the functionality you are after, Articulate may tell you to fill out a feature request, but I doubt you or your client will be around when the feature becomes available.
There is point where too many custom features or options to customise software make software less easy. good example of yours wheare adding extra options to prebuilt lightbox makes lightbox less easy
I tink sam's tip is good solution which lets you make many customizations unique to your eLearnings
lightbox is simple quick solution, need more create own solution. works like Engage'9-simple form but less custom; if want more custom need to build own solution
The other option is to build your own lightbox in a layer. You can make it behave exactly like a lightbox with the unclickable darkened background. Lots of freedom there

That would work...but love to know if you can disable the "X" on the lightbox until certain behaviors are performed..
Thanks!

Steve,
There was an old thread on how to do this. I can't find it. Can you?
