Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands, November 4th, 2014--Troi Automatisering today announced the immediate availability of Troi Dialog Plug-in 5.5.8 for FileMaker Pro 13.

 

 

What is Troi Dialog Plug-in?

 

Troi Dialog Plug-in is a very powerful tool for displaying all sorts of dialogs in FileMaker Pro 13. The text of the dialog and of the buttons can be created dynamically by using a calculation. All from within FileMaker you can:

 

- show an input dialog to let a user input data in up to 15 fields and up to 4 buttons

- choose these input fields to be any of the following: simple text, password field, popup list or check box

- show a list dialog or very big text dialog

- show temporary flash screens

- show a progress bar for lengthy operations

- add a standard icon or your own custom icons, including transparent PNGs

- present a slideshow of images and movies fullscreen

 

 

What is new in version 5.5.8?

 

Troi Dialog Plug-in 5.5.8 is a maintenance release, it has these changes:

 

- Tested and made compatible with FileMaker Pro 13.

- (Mac OS X) Updated the plug-in and made compatible for OS X 10.10 Yosemite. Fixed a crashing bug in the InputDialog and the ListDialog function, when running under OS X 10.10 Yosemite.

- Tested and made compatible with Windows 8.1.

- (Windows) Fixed a possible problem which could lead to an "error code 3" dialog.

- (Windows) Fixed a problem with the Dial_ProgressBar function and the automatic removal of forgotten progress dialogs: in some cases the dialog was not properly removed, leading to a 'zombie' dialog, that would not go away.

- (Windows) Fixed a bug where an ampersand (&) would not be displayed in the message text of dialogs.

- Fixed a bug where an error $$-4260 could be shown when installing the plug-in with the EasyInstallTroiPlugins.fmp12 example file. Note that this error may still show up, when an older version of Troi Dialog Plug-in is uninstalled. In this case please install the plug-in manually.

- Improved several example files.

 

 

Suggested uses

 

- give your users better and flexible feedback

- show quick instructions without the user having to dismiss the dialog

- build multi-language systems more easily

- make your solutions look more professional by using your own icons and title bars in dialogs

- control the way users type in data: you can, for example, let them type more than 10 and less than 40 characters

- show a slideshow of images selected from a found set, for example all images with water as a keyword

- measure time like for a race or the efficiency of 2 differently implemented scripts.

 

All these features also work in a runtime solution. We invite you to test drive the new functions and see what you can do with it!
