Diana Budding Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 New FileMaker 19.6 compatible version adds taller dialogs Lienden, the Netherlands, Januari 10, 2023–Troi today announced the immediate availability of Troi Dialog Plug-in 11.0 for Claris FileMaker Pro 19.6. What is Troi Dialog Plug-in? Troi Dialog Plug-in is a very powerful tool for displaying all sorts of dialogs in FileMaker Pro. The text of the dialog and of the buttons can be created dynamically by using a script step or a calculation. All from within FileMaker you can: show an input dialog to let a user input data in up to 20 fields and up to 4 buttons choose these input fields to be any of the following: simple text, password field, popup list or check box show a list dialog or very big text dialog show temporary flash screens show a progress bar for lengthy operations schedule the display of notifications What is new in version 11? Troi Dialog Plug-in 11 has the following new functionality: Added new switch “-AllowTallerDialogs” to the Dial_Dialog function: with this switch the dialog will be taller if the prompt text contains more text. Added a “-MonospacedFont” switch to the Dial_InputDialog function: when you add this switch the input and popup fields will be shown in a monospaced (fixed-pitch) font. Added a “-MonospacedFont” switch to the Show List Dialog script step and the Dial_ListDialog function: when you add this switch the list items will be shown in a monospaced (fixed-pitch) font. Added switch “-GetStartupRegistrationLog” to the Dial_Version function. This will return a text log of the plug-in’s registration process at startup time of FileMaker Pro. When you have problems registering the plug-in, you can see if the payment certificate was found and if a valid registration code was found. Also added an example script to Version.fmp12, which gets the text log of the startup registration of the plug-in. Improved the EasyInstallTroiPlugins.fmp12 example file: Added a script which adds the Startup Registration Log to the log field. This will get a text log of the startup registration process of the plug-in. The plug-in’s install script now indicates that it is recommended to restart FileMaker Pro after installing. Troi Dialog Plug-in 11 also has the following improvements and bug fixes: Tested and made compatible with Claris FileMaker Pro 19.6. Tested and made compatible with Windows 11, including Version 22H2 (2022 Update) Tested and made compatible with macOS 13 (Ventura). Added initial compatibility with Claris Pro 40.1.1. (macOS) Fixed a bug in the Show Big Input Dialog script step and the Dial_BigInputDialog function: when running FileMaker Pro 19 in dark mode the color of the inserted text could appear black on the dark background. (Windows) Improved the Show List Dialog script step and the Dial_ListDialog function, they now handle scaling of the display better. Also fixed a bug where the list items could appear overlapped. (macOS) Fixed a regressed problem with the Show List Dialog script step and the Dial_ListDialog function, where long list items would not use the whole width of the dialog and would be truncated. Updated the example files to use a modern theme. Corrected a wrong switch in the entry for Dial_ListDialog in the Reference.fmp12 file. Modernized the code and made the code more secure.
