Get ( ScreenScaleFactor ) - where is this documented?

Featured Replies

Hi

 

I just a came across Get (ScreenScaleFactor) but can't find any documentation for this function.

 

It's not listed in the internal FM help, nor on the main FM help website, or at least I can't find it.

 

Anyone got some docs or ideas?

 

Thanks

Never seen this. Is it a ZoomLevel thing?

Unknown. I don't see it documented anywhere. It returns 1 for me. Zoom doesn't affect it.

Thanks to Fabrice, David, and Biti.

 

It appears to be related to differences with Retina displays. For example, on my PC with external monitor ( Windows 7/8 ) it returns 1. On a MacBook with Retina display, it returns 2.

Okay, sounds reasonable.

 

Still, no actual documentation by FileMaker though.

 

Thanks all.

The same thing happened with Get ( CurrentTimeUTCMilliseconds ).

 

It started as an undocumented function. Once FMI was comfortable that everything was working as designed, they added it as an official function and added the documentation.

Now official, as of FMP 13.0v4!
