Hi,

So does anyone know if there is a way to create a breadcrumb effect in a Filemaker layout? I would like to mimic the effect as seen in a web site like this very fmforums.com site (attached screenshot image with breadcrumb highlighted).

What I am hoping to do is to create the breadcrumb trail based off of a 3 level (or more) tab control layout referencing the tabs as Objects. Example:

Project->Customer->Invoice

where there is a 1st (top) level tab control for Projects

then a 2nd level tab control inside Projects for Customer

& then a 3rd level tab control inside Customer for Invoice

Make sense?

Thanks,

you could "fake" it depending on the actual size of your text. you can have predetermined buttons that perform your script. However the button will be a static width so you have to make it as large as your largest link.

On the other hand if you want to allow the ability to navigate up and down a chain you may consider BackMagic...

Hi,

I looked at Seedcode & decided I still wanted a breadcrumb effect due to my layout structure.

I will go with your suggestion.

Thank you for the help.

Best,
