Can slider still be dragged in disabled state?

I added a disabled state to a slider hoping it cannot be dragged until a variable changes. But it can still be dragged to another step as if this was not disabled at all? If this is what it is, is t...

Is this still the case?
I have a slider on a layer that is hidden but it can still be moved and I need to disable it. Setting the layers to not allow things to be clicked on other layers is not an option so really I need the slider disabled.

Hi Kevin,

I'm happy to chime in! I ran tests on a sample Storyline project using the latest version (Build 3.77.30587.0) and confirmed that hidden or disabled sliders cannot be dragged as expected. I attached my sample project file for your reference.

I just had some clarification questions to understand your experience better:

  1. What Storyline version are you using? Here's how to update to the latest version if needed.
  2. After confirming that you're working on your local drive, have you tried these steps to fix possible installation issues?

We'd be glad to investigate further if the problem persists. You may share your Storyline project here or privately in a support case so we can look at your setup. We'll delete it when we're done!

    Thanks Eric,

    I was able to get it working with version SL 3.68.28887.0 (the latest version our organisation has distributed), however there's a small thing I'd like to fix if possible...?

    In the attached you'll see that CEO gender can only be changed when Include CEO is On. But it resets to Male each time the layer is unhidden (i.e. when Include CEO is On) instead of resuming from the last option used. I couldn't work out how to get that to resume when I need that slider to be inactive when the layer is hidden and active when it is unhidden.

    Hope this makes sense.

    Many thanks,

    Kevin
