ddinisco Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Is there any to get an icon on the Mac menu bar at the top of the screen to either open a Filemaker solution or better yet, provide a list (from filemaker) directly like what you see when you select a WiFi network?

ggt667 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) What is the purpose of your Menu Extra? I'm not sure if there is a built in FileMaker approach apart from Custom Menues. Tunnelblick is an open source project that has its own Menu Extra: https://github.com/Tunnelblick/Tunnelblick With XCode installed it's quite simple; I would build a Mac OS X menubar only app that queries FileMaker XML RPC or DATA API; project table or whatever you would like to put there.. This is probably what you are looking for in objc: https://nsrover.wordpress.com/2014/10/10/creating-a-os-x-menubar-only-app/ or swift example here: http://footle.org/WeatherBar If you start off on WeatherBar you may or may not want to change Preferences to look something like this: Edited December 15, 2017 by ggt667 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddinisco Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 The purpose of the Menu Extra is to cient user a list of all active jobs. The would select a job and that would activate an FM script to direct them to the right location either in FM or on our SAN. Thanks for the links. I will have to dig in to check them out, as I have not done something like this before. I am sure I will more questions, but thanks for the head start.
