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, Small Company.

  • added parsing functions to make it very easy to use the data entered and button clicked in a dialog
