Run a script when you hit the find button in the status area

[michele]

Dear FM-lovers,

Is there any way to make a script run when the user clicks on the filemaker find button when he's in find mode.

I just want the status area to close.

Thankyou for reading the message and eventually answering this question.

I know I can make my own buttons but I was just wondering as this may come in handy.

I take it by "find" button in Find Mode you really mean a "Continue". You can't change the functionality of FM's own built-in buttons. You can, however, define your own button and attach a script:

Perform Find ()

Toggle Status Area (Hide)

We mostly leave the status area hidden and locked, except for a few rare uses (continue from Preview Mode).
