Troi URL Plug-in 1.2
Compatibility
FileMaker Pro 16 to 19
Considerations
Starting with v6.0 he plug-in no longer shows a progress bar. This function is still included for backward compatibility.
For earlier versions the plug-in shows a Progress Dialog only on macOS.
The text is remembered until you specify a different text. The text is also removed when you quit FileMaker Pro.
The maximum length of the message text is 255 characters. The maximum length of the button text is 20 characters.
Example
TURL_SetProgressText ( "-unused" ; "Getting your data..." ; "Stop" )
Example 2
This will get a web page with a custom text. We assume that in your FileMaker file the following fields are defined:
urlField text
gErrorCode Global, text
urlField should contain the URL you are getting, for example “www.troi.com” . Add the following script steps:
Set Field [ gErrorCode ; TURL_SetProgressText ( "-unused" ; "Getting data from: "
& urlField ; "Halt" ) ]
Set Field [ resultText ; TURL_Get ( "-unused " ; urlField ) ]
