What is a script trigger?

[Heathbo]

Simple Question. What is a script trigger and how does it work?

[Søren Dyhr]

Filemaker doesn't have triggers, but have instead calcfields, validations and lookups that can be set to do something when a field is left. Strictly speaking is q script trigger in filemaker is a button when speaking of the MacOS or a keyboard shortcut.

By and large are script triggers used for validations in other database tools, but developers are often keen on getting as much as posible done behind the scenes, so time for executing user commands seems to be lighter than they actually are, because the preparations have been sneeked in behind the user. But what if the user regrets!!! Constructing a rollback that illiminates the damage made under the false pretends ...could be complicated to program.

But it haven't kept the ones with thier c++ skills ripe, from developing plugins that monitors the activities going on inside a filemaker solution - in order to link fields to scripts.

With EventScript, you can trigger a script by leaving a field.
