IEW Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I have just migrated to FM7 and my find scripts dont work. 1. I have a button that I want to get me into find mode. 2. Manually Enter my part no. 3. Continue the the script to Find the part no. I have tried everything but just cannot get it to work. This must be silly simple. Me thinks I havent drained the swamp.

The Shadow Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Does it work okay if you do the find completely manually? What does an example of the find you're doing look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanBrill Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Are you searching related fields in other files? It may be that you need to fix the path names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IEW Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 Manual works fine. My button script is as follows: Enter Find Mode [Pause] Perform Find[] It enters find mode and stops. If I click the continue button on the bar all is ok. I want my Find button to continue the find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shadow Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I couldn't get that script to work the way you seem to be suggesting it did in FM6. The script: If [Get(WindowMode)=1] Perform Find[] Else Enter Find Mode[Pause] Endif allows your button to fire the find off from find mode. See attachment for a simple example. findIt.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IEW Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 Your example works like a champ. I may die of old age before I learn this program. Please explain the [Get(WindowMode)=1]. TIIvan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shadow Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Get(WindowMode) returns your current state, from the FM Help (which you should avoid at all costs - you never know what sort of crazy [censored] you'll find in there ): "Get(WindowMode) Description Returns a number representing the mode FileMaker Pro is in at the time the function is evaluated: 0 for Browse mode 1 for Find mode 2 for Preview mode 3 if printing is in progress" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
