Toastr boxes

[Greg Hains]

Hi.

(Being an interface matter, I assume this is the correct forum to place it into.)

I am looking to setup 'toastr'-style notification boxes as found in this link by CodeSeven. I have seen a few mentions of people having done it but been unable to contact them or see any working examples.  It's the implementation of JS into Filemaker that has eluded me.

Has anybody got any working examples of doing this please?

 I an not sure I understand this. The only "implementation of JS" that's possible in Filemaker is inside a web viewer. If you want to imitate this style of notification using FM-native layout objects, you could do it with a popover (with the button located outside the layout bounds) or with a slide control (with one of the panels being transparent). I vaguely recall someone posting a demo of the latter, but they must have used another name for it.

Soliant has a demo file. https://www.soliantconsulting.com/blog/material-design-filemaker-snackbars-banners/

oh, and Michael Layne’s version.

That's it, snackbar.

I have sent an email to Michael Layne (at Gearbox) requesting a copy of the demo file shown in the above video.

Thanks everybody for you help with this.

I tend to use a popover;
