Running a script in a plug-in.

Featured Replies

I am writing a plug-in for my company and I need to run a script within the plug-in. Does anyone know the code for doing that? Or how I would go about doing that? Thanks.

Whoa! In Filemaker terminology, a plugin is a compiled C++ program, whereas a FM script is a Filemaker invention that is interpreted by Filemaker. You cannot run a script within a C program.

Now, what is it that you really want to do?

I guess I didn't quite phrase that right. Is there some kind of trigger or something that you can send to filemaker to activate a script or anything? Because I've seen plug-ins that will run a script, I just want to know how they do it. Thanks.

There are loads of ways to trigger a script: you can put a button or graphic on a layout and attach a scipt (right click to get the context menu), you can assign a script to a field, so that when the user enters the field the script runs. The only thing you can't do easily without a plugin is execute a script when the user exits a field.
