How to define which areas can be clicked on a slide?

[Paul Groot]

Hi Marie-France,

I think this can be solved by modifying the exit condition of the ClickList
(in my ImageSelectionExample script for example). By setting the number of
cycles to a large number it is possible to accept multiple clicks withing
one trial. Typically, the list would be exited after hitting a specific
number of images. This can be done by calling the ClickList.Terminate
function in the HandleClick inline as soon as the terminate condition is
met. The ClickList will repeat as long as the Terminate function is not
called, so this will solve the stray clicks. Note that every click
(accepted or not) will add a new line to the edat output file.

Paul
