Progress bar not working

Instead of using a custom progress bar in which you need to create an action for each page to step the bar, just create a table of contents progress bar, then specify which pages to include. This way when you go to a new page, the progress bar automatically adjusts without you needing to do anything further.

Also, if you go that route, you don't need to create a progress bar for each page. Just place the progress bar at the title level, and your pages can inherit the object.

If you still can't get it to work, let me know and we'll figure it out!

I got it working!! Thank you for your help.

I recently started using v11 from X.5 so I wanted to try out the progress bar. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

I added the progress bar to the title level.

I'm just testing with 3 pages so I set the progress bar to:

range 3

step size 1

initial value 0

I added an action to each of my 3 pages

on show

step progress bar position

target progress bar

always

I preview in run mode and preview mode.

It steps once on the first page and then no change on the following 2 pages.

I added a text block at the title level and added an action to each page to change the contents of the text block to the variable ProgressBar_0001. Each page the variable shows as 1, like it's not updating when the page shows.

so it seems like the 'step progress' action isn't working? Any suggestions?

It sounds like you're using a "Custom" progress bar instead of a "TOC" (table of contents) progress bar.

If you're just wanting to use the progress bar to show the user their progress through the course, use a TOC progress bar. You can specify which pages are included in the progress bar, and it will automatically increase the progress as they go through the pages, which means you don't need to create an action on each page to manually step the bar.

Try that, if you're still having issues, let me know!

Just put the progress bar where you need it with the number of ticks that you want; I put it on the title page of an EOC. Then I put the "OnShowStepProg action on each test page of the question pool. Test drew 25 qestions from a 50 question test pool and the progress meter worked like a champ.
