there a place (which I may have not discovered yet) where I can see the internal

like my paging to track the ‘CurrentPageNum’ in Xerte and when ‘CurrentPageNum’
= ‘PageCount@”XerteFrameworkIcon”’ to go back to the menu page. Any example of
how to do that?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">There
isn't currently a template for doing such an interaction, so you'd have to build
one. How complex that is really depends on how complex you want to make the
scenario. If it's as simple as presenting a stimulus and have the user select
from a list of options, and then present feedback in the form of text with
perhaps optional images, it would be quite easy.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">It would
also be easy to sequence a number of these pages together, thus creating a
linear sequence of essentially multiple choice questions.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Take a
look at the pageTemplate.xtp in the [xerte]/wizards folder. It has a number of
page types, one of which is multiple choice question. You could adapt that, or
perhaps it works just fine. To create a project from this file, double click the
xtp file. Xerte will make the new project and open it (sometimes it doesn't open
- just double click the rltfile in the folder you created the project in if this
happens).</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Is the
scenario you want to support as simple as that? If it gets more complex (i.e. if
a and b but not c then go to page x, else if a not b or c then goto page y else
if not a or b and c then goto page z) then you hit two problems: the code is
more complex, and the template editor gets more complex too. I'd highly
recommend keeping it simple.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
