if(status(currentchoice) = 1 - doesn't work FM7

[mattlight]

Hello,

Does anyone know what the scripting is for multiple choice Show Dialogs?

In earlier filemaker you would simply script something like this

show message "Are you sure you want to delete?" option 1 "yes", 2 "no"

if(status(currentchoice) = 1

delete record # or whatever #

else

end if

or something like that - you get the zist - not accurate scripting above, just a vibe

The point is - what has happened to status functions in FM7?

What do I do?

thanks

doh,

I might have made a mistake - It should be status(currentMessageChoice)

I am checking now to see whether it works or not - it just seems strange that there is no menu heading called status any more in the calculation window.

watch this space

Look at the get functions.

respect

show message "do you wish to remove this item"

if - get(lastmessagechoice) = 1

delete record

else

end if
