Troi Automatisering releases Troi Dialog Plug-in 3.0 for FileMaker Pro

New plug-in adds more flexibility in creating custom dynamic dialogs in
FileMaker Pro.

Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands, December 20th, 2001–Troi
Automatisering today announced the immediate availability of its Troi
Dialog Plug-in 3.0 for FileMaker Pro 4.0 through 5.5.

What is Troi Dialog Plug-in?

Troi Dialog Plug-in is a very powerful tool for displaying all sorts
of dialogs in FileMaker Pro. The text of the dialog and of the
buttons can be created dynamically by using a calculation. All from
within FileMaker you can:
– show dialogs with variable text and up to 4 buttons
– show an input dialog to let a user input data in up to 5 fields
– choose these input fields to be any of the following: simple text,
password field, popup list or check box
– mix these input field types as you see fit
– pre-enter text into all input fields
– have the results of the dialog put into fields without parsing
– show a list dialog
– show temporary flash screens
– show a progress bar for lengthy operations
– position the dialog box anywhere on the screen
– add a standard icon or your own icons
– set the text for the dialog title bar

Peter Baanen, company president, states: “We’ve listened carefully to our
users’ wishes and have translated this in a tool that will give developers
more control over and flexibility in designing their FileMaker dialogs than
ever. We are proud to present what we think is the ultimate dialog plug-in
for FileMaker Pro!”

“Once again, Peter has taken the time to get it right. Troi Dialog Plug-in
3.0 offers the details of dialog interaction that haven’t been available
until now.”, Albert Harum-Alvarez, (http://SmallCo.net).
