Any way to Drag text to field and cause a find?

[stann]

Hi

I was just wondering if there is any way to drag text to an empty field of some type and trigger a find based on the information being dragged there. So if I drag the word "pineapple" to a special field and dropped the text there it would cause the execution of a find script that would see if pineapple exists and bring you to the record where pineapple resides.

Is there anyway to do this. Even with a plug?

New Millennium's SecureFM w/Menu Magic works a treat on things such as this. It can determine when the field value is changed and execute a script. You would just create a script for your find, taking the value from the global text hold field and setting your real field with the value.

You add the command directly as an Auto-Enter calculation (Replace) to your hold field (in vs. 7). Change Field Behavior to Tab and Return going to next field so it triggers when you hit enter. It would look something like:

HoldField & External ( "Menu-PerformScript"; " YourScriptNameHere")

It will execute scripts on regular calculation changes also. In addition, it allows changing FM menus (as well as removing them), disabling all windows functions, and many additional things. I'm sure there are other event-trigger plugins which will do it also, but I'm hooked on this one for its ease of use and its ability to handle many things which normally take several plugins to accomplish.
