Highlighting Options?
I have built a test question using a schematic image. I have put boxes around informational choices that the end-user can choose from. There are roughly five correct boxes and eight total boxes hi...
Had a coworker who had figured it out on a prior project. Change the state for the selected feature to show a color box or change of color fill and then make it transparent so the user can still see what they selected. Once that is done set a trigger to change the state from normal to selected where the colored fill or line resided and that allows a person to select a box and it stays highlighted so they can see which options they have chosen. Simple fix and I had an idea that was what had to be done, just couldn't put the pieces together. Thanks again for your assistance in completing this project.
Do not use a trigger to change to the Selected state. That could actually cause problems, because it duplicates a built-in action.
When an object has a Normal state and a Selected state, the first click will automatically change it to Selected. The next click will change it back to Normal. And so on, subsequent clicks will toggle between those states.
