Display valuelist items in a Show Custom Dialog script

[UTexas80]

I would appreciate if anyone can suggest how I display valuelist items in a Show Custom Dialog script. I am interested in presenting a date range to a user so they can select an upper and lower boundary.

Thank you.

You may want to look into Troi Dialog plugin.

You can not do it in a Custom Dialog. What you can do is create a layout to resemble a custom dialog and add a global field with a value list.

e.g.

Freeze Window

New Window(Choose Date)

Go To Layout(CustomeDialogLayout)

Pause

Set Variable($Global;GlobalDateField)

Add a button to the layout "Continue" and set a script to close the window and resume script

Enter Find Mode()

Set Field(DateField;$Global)

Perform Find()

I agree, a FileMaker layout is a better choice when working with dates. None of the dialog plugins give you a drop down calendar option like a native FileMaker date field. I would think that would be nicer than a value list.

The SimpleDialog plug from 24U looks promising. https://www.24usoftware.com
