You can say this is part of the script triggers. Instead of spending tens of hours hiding the built-in features and replacing them with buttons and custom menus, with script triggers you can simply utilize as much of the FileMaker's user interface as you want, and override only the small bits that you really need to tweak. This brings a completely new way of implementing a user interface.
Script triggers in FileMaker 10 let you trigger script not only after, but also before several built-in events happen, and the ones that are triggered before will even let you cancel/abort the event.
This was done by a trick - evaluating a plug-in's function inside an auto-enter or validation calculation. It opens so many doors and unveils so many new ways to solve the same old issues, that it is really unbelievable.īefore FileMaker 10 you could use plug-ins to trigger scripts when exiting fields.
This feature once again completely changes the way FileMaker developers think about their solutions. The most popular, the longest time awaited and requested, and probably still the most underestimated feature of FileMaker Pro 10 are script triggers.
