I would also like to know where any additinal information is for writing plugins.

I wrote a little plug in that perform simple calculation on passed

parameter.

Now i would access to the FM commands like: new record, next record, order,

perform script....

Where can i find information to do this?

Can anyone help me?

Excuse me for my english

I gues you could use the FMP library, which creates an object FMP...

Perhaps you can tell me where can I find this FM library

Thanks

For a plugin, all the functions that are available to you are contained in the EFP API, which mostly consists of:

FMExtern.h

FMExtern.c

FMFlags.h

The EFP API is not nearly even close to the functionality of the Java, AppleScript or ActiveX Classes (for example). All you can do in terms of FileMaker interaction is receive text and return text to a calling field calc.

All the plugin tricks you see on the web are mostly plugin-OS interaction/calls. (Sometimes via AppleScript and/or ActiveX etc.)

Check out the "Template" and "Full Example" plugins on the CD for more detailed info, they are provided as source code.

Hope this helps!
