K1200 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Sound recording has no place in my application ... yet a Sound Record dialog pops up whenever the user double clicks on an empty container field. How can this be stopped? 10 years ago, someone posted this method on another forum: "Double clicking will only open sound record if empty" ... implying: put a blank in the container. Is FileMaker's technology still that crude? Isn't there a centralized way to disable the sound recorder function entirely? ... or at least for an individual container? ... or intercept the double click? Having a blank in a container derails the easy check for Field="" means empty ... and may impact other uses of field. I try to avoid such gimmicks. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Update: It's even worse than I thought. If there's an image in the container (not text), the Sound Record dialog pops up, as well. So even the simple solution is negated.
comment Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 If you set the container field as a button, then it cannot be double-clicked. If there's an image in the container (not text), the Sound Record dialog pops up, as well. I don't think so.
K1200 Posted September 28, 2012 Author Posted September 28, 2012 I don't think so. And ... you are correct. My late-night analysis was based on an illusion that required daylight to expose (plus sleep). What I actually found was a "receiving container" field on top of the actual display field. One was occupied; the other was not ... hence the activation of the recorder. So, having anything occupying a container prevents activation of the recorder. But FileMaker should provide an explicit setting instead of requiring such an obtuse method. Thanks for your response.
