Enter Key

[Melodea]

Just wondering whether anybody can tell me the value I should use if I use the script step

GetCurrentModifierKey, referring to the return key? The filemaker helps seems to give numerical values for the shift, option and control keys but not return!

thanks

The Return key is not a modifier key. The modifier keys are used in conjunction with another key or when a button is clicked. The Caps Locked key is also a modifier and needs to be consider when using GetCurrentModifierKey.

Thanks Ralph, is there another way to run a script when a user hits the return/enter key. I would like to set up my login page to be more intuitive!

Cheers,

Scripts can be made to run on start up or shut down, by clicking on a button, by calling from another script, from the script menu or the keyboard shortcuts for that menu. There are plug-ins that will run a script when the user exits a field.

A paused script will resume when you hit the enter key.

Thanks for your help Ralph.

This is proving to be a little more difficult than I first thought!! Are the plugins easy to find and where can I find them?

Cheers,

What are you trying to accomplish?

The FileMaker web site has a listing of most of the plug-ins, with a discription of what they do and where you can get them.
