Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands, May 10th, 2010--Troi Automatisering today announced the immediate availability of Troi Dialog Plug-in 5.5.2 for FileMaker Pro 11.

 

 

What is Troi Dialog Plug-in?

 

Troi Dialog Plug-in is a very powerful tool for displaying all sorts of dialogs in FileMaker Pro 11. The text of the dialog and of the buttons can be created dynamically by using a calculation. All from within FileMaker you can:

- show an input dialog to let a user input data in up to 15 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

- add a standard icon or your own custom icons, now also with transparent PNGs

- present a slideshow of images and movies fullscreen

 

 

What is new in version 5.5.2?

 

Troi Dialog Plug-in 5.5.2 adds support for bigger icons and several other tweaks. It also fixes several bugs:

- (Custom)icons can now be extra large, up to 48x48 pixels. With todays screen sizes this makes for pleasing dialog aesthetics.

- Improved the Dial_Dialog function: you can now also add the switch: "-StopOnESC". With this switch the user can press the ESC key to leave the dialog.

- (Windows) Improved support for (transparent) PNG custom icons.

- (Mac OS X only) Added new switch "-CheckSpellingWhileTyping" to enable continuous spell checking for the Dial_BigInputDialog function.

- (Mac OS X) Converted the Dial_ListDialog function completely to Cocoa, restoring all functionality.

- (Mac OS X) Several bug fixes in the Dial_InputDialog function.

- (Mac OS X) Fixed a bug in Dial_BigInputDialog function where typing the return key would result in a linefeed character in the returned text.

- (Mac OS X) Fixed a bug in Dial_ListDialog function where empty lines would make the wrong item pre-selected.

- (Windows) Fixed a flickering in the progress bar part of the Dial_ProgressBar function.

- (Mac OS X) Reenabled setting the dialog position: Dial_SetPosition now works again for all dialog types.

- Updated User Guide and Overview.fp7 to reflect the new functionality.

 

 

Suggested uses

- give your users better and flexible feedback

- show quick instructions without the user having to dismiss the dialog

Vraagje ivm de developer license:

Mag ik die enkel gebruiken bij het maken van runtimes of mag ik deze ook leveren tesamen met een door mezelf gemaakte applicatie aan een klant die gebruikt maakt van filemaker server + 10 cliënts. Of dient de klant 10 licenties van de plugin extra aan te schaffen?

[dudematters]

Mooi, onmisbaar voor grotere applicaties, zou standaard in Filemaker advanced moeten zitten, al wil ik Troi niet van zijn inkomsten af helpen natuurlijk
