select a row in a portal?

[jeffer]

Hi,

Is there a way to scroll trough a portal and, after you have selected a row, push a button (like the command or control key) and that a script will be triggered that does something with te record in the portalrow? I have the doscript plugin. But it seems that their functionality for key script triggering doesn't work anymore...maybe somebody knows an other approach?

thnx & greetz,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

command + numberkey not adquate? otherwise you could use QuickKeys.

Like Ernst says...

In a PC you could create a script and have it show under the scriptmake menu section. FM will give it a number, and you can use the shortcut CTRL + NUMBER to have it run. In mac it's probably COMMAND + NUMBER

There is simple way to make some action in a portal row using a global gPortal_row.

Your script should look like this:

Freeze Window

Set Field ["gPortal_row","Status(CurrentPortalRow)"]

Go to Portal Row [select,"gPortal_row"]

and here you script your action or go to the related record to run a script there before coming back to the first file and refresh.

You can easily create a button in each row to run this script. Actioning the button is enough to update the global.

Very useful e.g. to toggle containers between checked/unchecked boxes.
