Custom Recording Options dialog box

Use this dialog box to select the objects you want automatically added when auto recording a movie.

Text captions: Select this option to automatically create captions based on the actions you take while auto recording. Actions that generate captions include the following: selecting menus and menu items; pressing buttons; changing values in lists, combo boxes, or check boxes; and opening child windows. For example, if you select the File menu, Captivate adds a caption that reads "Select File Menu" on the same slide.

Note: Captivate can automatically generate captions for all standard Windows user interface elements. It might not, however, support nonstandard user interface elements, such as menu text in applications created with Delphi.

Convert tooltips to rollover captions: Select this option to automatically convert any tooltips (small, floating text windows that appar when the user's mouse hovers over buttons) on the screens you are capturing to rollover captions.

Highlight boxes for mouse clicks: Select this option to automatically create highlight boxes whenever you click on screens you are auto recording.

Click boxes for mouse clicks: Select this option to automatically create click boxes whenever you click on screens you are auto recording.

Hint captions: Select this option to automatically add hint captions to click boxes.

Success captions: Select this option to automatically add success captions to click boxes. For example, a success caption may read, "Yes, that is correct."

Failure captions: Select this option to automatically add failure captions to click boxes. For example, a failure caption may read, "Sorry, that is incorrect. Please try again."

Limit attempts to [#]: Specifies the number of times a user may attempt to click correctly on a click box. Type a number or use the up and down arrows to select a number.

Show mouse: Select this option to display any mouse movement that occurs while auto recording.
