fmpro.performScript does not work

[csad]

Hi,

I like to call call the "actionPerformed" of the button a FileMaker script in the following code

This does not work!

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help

CODE:

import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.event.*;

new FensterWegImplementsAll();

class FensterWegImplementsAll extends JFrame implements WindowListener, ActionListener

{

public FensterWegImplementsAll()

{

setLayout(null);

setSize( 400, 400 );

addWindowListener( this );

setVisible( true );

JButton btn_1 = new JButton("TOC");

btn_1.setBounds(10,10,100,25);

btn_1.addActionListener(this);

add(btn_1);

}

public void windowClosing( WindowEvent event ) {

dispose();

}

public void windowClosed( WindowEvent event ) {}

public void windowDeiconified( WindowEvent event ) {}

public void windowIconified( WindowEvent event ) {}

public void windowActivated( WindowEvent event ) {}

public void windowDeactivated( WindowEvent event ) {}

public void windowOpened( WindowEvent event ) {}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)

{

fmpro.performScript("ScriptMaster","TOC","");

}

}

I believe your problem is the fmpro object does not exist in the scope of your class.

You can pass the fmpro object to your FensterWegImplementsAll object when you create it; then the actionPerformed method needs to use the fmpro object that was passed into your class.

Thanks it functions. But now i have the same problem like in this Thread:

http://fmforums.com/forum/topic/74209-fmpro-object-taking-a-long-time-to-respond/

The fmpro Objekt d'ont respond regulary!

Did you have a solution for this problem?

Thank you very much!

I am using the fmpro object similar to how I suggested in my last post, except that I compiled my code into a jar file. I haven't had any problems like mentioned in the post you linked to.

Hello dansmith65,

thanks for your answer.

I compilet my code / class in a Jar-File as you sad.

In Filemaker i just use the following call to make an instanse of my class:

CFMMenue fen = new CFMMenue(fmpro);

and i have the same problem! Filemaker d'ont respond sometimes and sometimes takes a lot of time bevore executing the called Filemaker-Script.

Did you an idea about this problem? or another solution?

The background is to make a bether dynamic navigation of our filemaker solution (f.e.: with JTree).

Thanks for your help !

I hadn't connected it before, but I think I actually did experience a similar issue. I was able to resolve it by setting thread priority: http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Thread.html

With default priority (6), the process I was running could be delayed by a half hour or more when FileMaker was not the active window. When FileMaker was active, it typically responded with little delay.

Try setting it to 9 and see if that works for you.

I used a Thread und set the priority with different values.

But i habe always the same problem

another idea ?

thanks!

Sorry, that's the last trick up my sleeve.

Have you tried Filemaker 11 ?. Maybe it works properly in that.

Or maybe try not invoking from the EDT, so run it from a new Thread?

I dunno, I haven't solved it yet. I reckon what would be super cool too would be if you embed your JTree into a filemaker container rather than as a separate window...

i tried with Filemaker 11 and had the same problem.

But now i know the problem :-)

I was working with a Window 64 Bit version and that was the problem!

With Windows 32 Bit it is working just fine :-)

Your idea with the FM container is nice too, i will try it.

Thansks!

Did someone succeed in this?

As I can see from the documentation of ScriptMaster this would mean we would need to create some kind of FM Object or a File, all the other types would return or a simple String, Image or Number.

It isn't possible as far as I know... but it would be cool if it was possible .

The only way I thought of doing it was loading an applet in a web viewer... but then there are probably a million problems with that . I've tried tracking the windows in filemaker and then rendering a frameless window over the top, but that also proved too complicated .
