Hello my fellow Captivate experts.
I am using Captivate 2019, I have a responsive project. I can see in the settings that I can restrict Landscape view but I cannot restrict Portrait view. I want my project to be available in Landscape only.
Is there a way to block the entire project from being viewed in Portrait mode? If not, I am thinking to create a black shape with some warning text telling the user to rotate their screen. But I want this shape to become visible on all slides, triggered only when the phone or tablet is rotated in Portrait mode. Obviously I do not want the warning to be visible in Landscape mode.
Appreciate any suggestions.

Yes, avoiding fluid boxes altogether is the best idea. Using breakpoints I can actually remove all content from the Portrait modes (drag it from the view) and add instead a shape with warning message. This shape becomes visible only when screen gets to that resolution / rotate. It will not work with fluid boxes and I don’t need them since my project is landscape only anyway.
Using non-responsive with Rescalable HTML will keep the same content landscape across devices. BUT I cannot add the warning message since I cannot change the content for a specific resolution.
Thanks for the advice!
That is true. Breakpoint views offer a lot more control as you explained. It is a ptiy that they are now almost ignored by the Captivate team, since they don’t even offer any themes for Breakpoints anymore. I would love to see the possibility for the choice when creating a responsive project. Now you have first to create a fluid boxes project, to convert it then to a Breakpoints project, not user friendly.
BTW some ‘templates’ from the eLearning brothers have such a warning. Maybe have a look.
May seem off topic, but are you sure to need a responsive project (Fluid boxes or Breakpoints)? Why not publish a non-responsive project as Rescalable HTML?
