gnomey333 Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveB Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 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? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnomey333 Posted March 2, 2003 Author Share Posted March 2, 2003 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveB Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
