Troi Automatisering releases Troi Dialog Plug-in 3.5.3 for FileMaker Pro 7

Updated dialog plug-in compatible with FileMaker 7.

Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands, December 13th, 2004--Troi Automatisering today announced the immediate availability of its Troi Dialog Plug-in 3.5.3 for FileMaker Pro 7.

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 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 3.5.3?

Troi Dialog Plug-in 3.5.3 is a maintenance release. This release does not bring new functions. It has these fixes:

  • Improved the Progress.fp7 example file. It now has an extra Pause/Resume step of 0 seconds after the 'show' step. This will cause the progress bar and text to be directly visible.
  • Fixed a problem in TrDl-ListDialog: completely empty list items and non empty last lines are now handled correctly.
  • (Windows) Fixed a problem in TrDl-FlashDialog, where the cursor could remain invisible after the flash dialog.
  • (Windows) Fixed a bug in TrDl-BigInputDialog, where an internal Troi debug dialog could appear (with error number 3), when using FileMaker Developer 7 and the ScriptMaker option "Debug scripts" on.

New Features introduced in version 3.5

Troi Dialog Plug-in 3.5.3 has the same features as version 3.5, which added these new features:

  • added a big input dialog function in which the user can enter a long text (up to the FileMaker limit of 64000 characters)
  • improved the InputDialog function significantly: you can now have up to 9 input fields
  • added possibility to preload password fields in the InputDialog
  • furthermore we improved the list dialog significantly
  • the flash dialog can display icons (even your own)

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
