Where to find it
- Simulation content object > Input Text macro > General category > Require Text Input property
Purpose
If the Require Text Input property is selected (which is generally the default setting) then the user must enter a value in the input field before clicking on the button, in Practice mode and Test mode. If this property is deselected, then as soon as the user clicks in the input field, the text is automatically entered into the field (just as for Demo mode), and then processing continues with the next macro. Interestingly, because there is no Display Duration associated with Practice mode and Test mode, the typing of the text will be animated for as long as it takes - whereas in Demo mode if the Display Duration expires before all the text has been entered, the remaining text is entered all at once at the end of the time limit.
In earlier releases, this property was only available if the Confirm with Button property has been selected for the parent Input Text macro. If Confirm with Button is selected and Require Text Input is deselected then the user does not have to click on the 'confirmation button'.
