Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands, October 30th, 2006–Troi
Automatisering today announced the immediate availability of Troi
Dialog Plug-in 4.5.2 for FileMaker Pro 8.5.
New version 4.5.2: a minor update
Troi Dialog Plug-in 4.5.2 is a minor update. This release fixes a few
bugs, including a QuickTime problem that could result in a crash on
Windows. This update is recommended for all users.
What is Troi Dialog Plug-in?
Troi Dialog Plug-in is a very powerful tool for displaying all sorts
of dialogs in FileMaker Pro 8.5. 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 9 fields
– choose these input fields to be any of the following: simple text,
password field, popup list or check box
– show a list dialog or big text 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
What is new in version 4.5.2?
Troi Dialog Plug-in 4.5.2 has these changes:
– (Windows) Improved initialization code and removed dependency on
QuickTime. This could in some cases result in crashes when copying
items to the clipboard.
– Fixed a problem with the Dial_ListDialog function: when calling the
Dial_ListDialog function with an empty listitems parameter, the
function now properly resets the last button clicked and last text
selected. This means that the Dial_GetInput function now returns “”
and Dial_GetButton returns 0 after this.
– (Mac OS X) Dial_InputDialog function: removed incorrectly visible
close/minimize/zoom buttons at top of dialog.
– Renamed the user guide to make it more clear for which plug-in it is.
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
– create a small list dialog when you have only a little list and a
big one if you have a big list
– control the way users type in data: you can, for example, let them
type more than 10 and less than 40 characters
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!
