bcooney Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 How about using Kiosk mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laudmusic Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 For client/server solution? Need it for that. I know I can use Kiosk mode for standalone runtimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HALBURN Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Kiosk mode does work with a client/server solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laudmusic Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 I do realize that but I need the user to have access to their other apps and system. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HALBURN Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I'd need to test it, but I would think that you could jump to the finder with a script and jump back to kiosk mode by clicking on FileMaker in your dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitch Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Why do you want to remove the borders? If it's to prevent the window from being closed you could use the SecureFM plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laudmusic Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Yes to hide the close window and to just have the illusion of a floating window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atalanta Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 What about WindowUtility http://www.medeyedbs.com/WindowUtility.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laudmusic Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't seem to fit my needs. Actually the demo I downloaded seemed really clunky and on Mac didn't seem to work as advertised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlane Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 What I have done to prevent a user closing a window is to set the window distance from top as -34 (negative 34). This slides the top of the window underneath the menu bar, so the user cannot get to the window control and close it. They can only close that window by using one of my buttons.

Hare Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 What I have done to prevent a user closing a window is to set the window distance from top as -34 (negative 34). This slides the top of the window underneath the menu bar, so the user cannot get to the window control and close it. They can only close that window by using one of my buttons. wouldn't that still allow the user to close the window with a keyboard command? without a plugin, I think the only way to prevent a window from being inadvertently closed is locking it inside a script. See for instance the Floating Palette demo by Ray Cologon. But if the user needs to interact with more than one window simultaneously, then another approach would be to check if the palette window is open before the start of any script (and put it back if needed). And give the user a menu command to show / hide the palette... just like Illustrator or word does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlane Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Thanks for the link to Ray Cologon's Floating Pallette. This is a simple technique to lock a newly opened window. The user cannot close it or even click outside it. No choice but to exit it as the developer intended, with a button on the window. Perfect.

laudmusic Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 I've definitely used the technique before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
