incrementing numerical field values?

[gwjo]

Is there a way to format a numerical field in browse mode so that clickling a little up or down arrow key increments the value of the field by one integer? This happens automatically for the year value in the pop-up calendar facility in FMP8.0 and I am hoping there may be a way of doing this on other number fields without having to create and define script buttons.

Many thanks for any suggestions,

George

Not directly as an formatting option but you can create your own buttons and connect them with

set field( number ; number +/- 1 )

...and you can even format your number field as a button with a one step script:

Set field [number;number + Case ( Get ( ActiveModifierKeys ) ; -1 ; 1 )]

So when you'll click the button the number will increase by one, but if you'll press a modifier key ( for example SHIFT ) it will decrease by one.

Many thanks for this - very helpful and an elegant solution!
