Hi Nate,<br><br>I usually implement object highlighting by changing the objects background colour or bounding box style. E.g.<br><br> hitObject.BackColor = CColor("silver")<br> hitObject.Draw<br><br>
Where hitObject is the selected slide (sub)object, which can be a SlideText or SlideImage object. You can modify any graphics attribute on the fly using similar code. (Check out the help docs about SlideText and SlideImage object attributes) <br>
<br>If you use the keyboard to select "1" or "2", then you can use the names of the objects to get a reference to the selected slide sub object:<br><br>Dim theState As SlideState<br>Dim hitObject As SlideText 'in case this the selected object is a text object<br>
Set theState = theSlide.States(theSlide.ActiveState)<br>Select Case theSlide.RESP<br>case "1"<br> hitObject = theState.Objects("Text1")<br>case "2"<br> hitObject = theState.Objects("Text2")<br>
End Select<br><br>When using the mouse you could use the theState.HitTest(x,y) method to determine which object was selected (if any).<br><br>The second part of your question is about having a fixed response window of 6 seconds, while updating the slide objects at the same time. There are several way's to implement this, and I think a simple while-loop that polls the isPending() method is the easiest: <a href="http://www.pstnet.com/support/kb.asp?TopicID=3026">http://www.pstnet.com/support/kb.asp?TopicID=3026</a><br>

<p style="text-align:left;clear:both"><span style="line-height:normal">Hello all,</span></p><p style="text-align:left;clear:both"><span style="line-height:normal">I would like to highlight an object based on the subject's response. The basic flow is a repetition of 1) a Text Frame round counter, 2) a Text Frame presentation of a starting amount, and then 3) a framing prompt on a Slide similar to the one below. </span>The boxes are black and the lines thicker. The subject then makes their choice using 1 or 2. <span style="line-height:normal">The subject has six seconds to make a choice and the slide stays up the whole duration. Ideally, I would like the box surrounding the selected option to change color while the slide is still displayed but I am open to any and all suggestions. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;clear:both"><span style="line-height:normal">I go</span><span style="line-height:normal">t one of the boxes to change using an Inline and the Correct State of a Feedback Slide. This ultimately interrupts our timing because the feedback displays after the slide. I tried to borrow some code from an older experiment, but I have not yet gotten it working and the coder is not available to help. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If worse comes to worse, I will use an Echo Display but I think it is a sub-optimal solution. Thank you in advance.</span><br>
