Return/Enter to Execute a Button Script

Featured Replies

Does anyone know how to use the new features of FMP 7 to go to execute a button script after you hit enter/return in a field.

I am trying to execute my login script(button) after the user hits enter/return after they type their password in to the field.

So from a field -> enter password (text) -> execute button script. I know you can use tab, return, and enter to go to another field but how would you do this to execute a button script ?

You can't. Not without a plugin.

There is a example plugin that comes with FM Developer that can execute a script on field exit, but it is meant as an example for plugin writers.

Both Troi and Waves in Motion have plugins that do this.

There is a free plug-in, EventScript, available from Softwares for Humans. See previous posts in this forum.

If you are in a script that is currently paused, then a numeric Enter (Ctrl-Return) will continue the script. So you can

Go to Field [passwordfield]

Pause/Resume Script

Perform Script [login]
