choicearray other option

[Dave811]

Hi, I wanted to create a questionair, but I wanted to seperate the most right option from the rest of the availible options. This is my choicearry I am using:

 \begin{choicearray}[layouter=rotated,type=singlechoice]{\largeArray{Wie oft werden diese Geräte für die Schule genutzt? Werden diese deiner Meinung nach zu oft, zu wenig oder genau richtig genutzt? Kreuze an.}}
                \choice{1 zu wenig}
                \choice{2}
                \choice{3}
                \choice{4 genau richtig}
                \choice{5}
                \choice{6}
                \choice{7 zu oft}
                \choice{nutze / kenne ich nicht}
                \question{Smartphone / Handy}
                \question{Tablet / iPad}
                \question{PC / Laptop}
                \question{Smartboard / Whiteboard}
                \question{Tafel}
                \question{Beamer}
                \question{Dokumentenkamera}
                \question{Overheadprojektor}
                \question{Sonstiges}
            \end{choicearray}

Is that possible?

I suppose, the problem here is that you want the genau richtig text (which can't be done with a range question)?

Otherwise the obvious thing to do may be to use a https://sdaps.org/class-doc/sdapsclassic.html#markgroup type question.

Anyway, the answer is that there is no clean way of doing this. Only thing you can do is to hack it, i.e. add a further "choice" that is invisible, and then filter away that checkbox for every question.

            \begin{choicearray}[layouter=rotated,type=singlechoice]{{Wie oft werden diese Geräte für die Schule genutzt? Werden diese deiner Meinung nach zu oft, zu wenig oder genau richtig genutzt? Kreuze an.}}
                \choice{1 zu wenig}
                \choice{2}
                \choice{3}
                \choice{4 genau richtig}
                \choice{5}
                \choice{6}
                \choice{7 zu oft}
                \choice{}
                \choice[val=0]{nutze / kenne ich nicht}
                \question[range={1,...,7,0}]{Smartphone / Handy}
                \question[range={1,...,7,0}]{Tablet / iPad}
                \question[range={1,...,7,0}]{PC / Laptop}
                \question[range={1,...,7,0}]{Smartboard / Whiteboard}
                \question[range={1,...,7,0}]{Tafel}
                \question[range={1,...,7,0}]{Beamer}
                \question[range={1,...,7,0}]{Dokumentenkamera}
                \question[range={1,...,7,0}]{Overheadprojektor}
                \question[range={1,...,7,0}]{Sonstiges}
            \end{choicearray}

Note that I changed the value of the "nutze / kenne ich nicht" to zero. The range= parameter needs to give the valid values in the correct oder, so the zero is listed last. If we didn't add the val=0, then it would be the 9th value, and the range should be given as {1,...,7,9} instead.

Thanks for the answer, that was what I was looking for. The best would be to draw a line between 7 and "nutze ich nicht". Is that possible? If not your answer solves the problem anyway.

one last thing: I wanted a "Other" Texfield below, so if the user who wants to add a thing can describe what they mean. So I surrounded the choicearray with a choicequestion and added a choiceitemtext. But If the choicearray would extend over 2 paper sides, the question wouldn't be repeated on the second page. After that I tried to add a normal textfield, that kind of works, but it would have its own numbering so my next question changed from 1.2 to 1.3, what isn't what I wanted. So after that I tried to make a \let\inlineTextBox\sdaps_textbox_hstretch:nnnnn. That works how I wanted it. But as I tried to setup a sdaps project it would throw this error: AssertionError: Adding a box to this QObject type is not possible.. If I removed my custom textbox I could create the project.

Nah, that is not possible at all. Only thing you could do is draw a line in the header, but that seems pretty pointless.

btw. please create a new comment if you add something like that (also, e-mail via the mailinglist is better for these kind of questions).

So I surrounded the choicearray with a choicequestion and added a choiceitemtext. …

That sounds like it'll properly confuse the class.

Hah, actually, choicearray is not even supposed to be used like that really. You should have used optiongroup as that will create a proper question/sub-section. I do see that using choicearray results in a much more compact layout for you though, even if it is a bit of an accident.
