Kiosk Graphic Challenge

[jfarrell]

I find that I really like using the Kiosk mode for distributing my applications, because it quickly and easily removes the Menus, Toolbars and Window Status line from the application. However, there is one problem with the Kiosk mode that presents a challenge.

I have created an application that maintains Book, Music and Movie collections. The application uses a Container field to store a graphic image of the Book, Music or Movie covers. Users simply right-click on the image field and use Insert Picture to add their scanned graphics. However, when running under Kiosk Mode, FileMaker 5 disables this right-click window. Anyone have an suggestions on how to get around this problem? Possibly via a script attached to a button?

I have no experience with Developer. However, why not put a script on the container field that performs the Import function? To avoid the command being run at in-oportune moments, use the Status(CurrentModifierkeys) function to only do it if, say, the Shift key is held down.

This will replace "right-click" with "shift-click."
