Assigning a Window Name to a Layout

Featured Replies

Hi I'm working with multiple tables in one filemaker file. I have different layouts for the different tables, and sometimes need to have two windows open at a time, reflecting different tables. Is there a way to assign a windowname to a layout?

The scripts I've created for navigation depend on the windowname, and being able to assign a windowname to a specific layout at all times reduces the risk of error for my scripts. Thank you!

Thank you:) I've been setting the window name in my scripts, but if a user decides to shortcut and select a different layout in the layout browser, then I would like the windowname to automatically change with the layout the user selects..without a script. Is this possible?

Thanks!

You will need an event trigger plugin for that. I would rethink your design if that is the case. Perhaps you should lock the status area so that the user must use your navigation which could run the script.

Or at least uncheck the display of the layouts in the status area.
