What is 24U SimpleHighlight Plug-In?

24U SimpleHighlight Plug-In is a sample FileMaker Plug-In project based on 24U FM Template 2.0. It was created thanks to the collaboration of 24U Software and New Millennium Communications, Inc., and is available for download, including source code, from both companies. It implements two color highlighting functions:

- X24uL_Highlight finds all occurrences of a search string in a text and highlights them with color and/or style as defined either in Preferences or via function parameters. Previous formatting of the text is preserved.

- X24uL_SolidColor generates a color rectangle using color, and optionally also opacity, specified in the function parameters. The resulting image can be placed directly into a container field via the plug-in.

24U SimpleHighlight is freeware!
