Troi Automatisering releases Troi Dialog Plug-in 3.1 for FileMaker Pro Updated plug-in adds more flexibility in creating custom dynamic dialogs in FileMaker Pro. Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands, April 2nd--Troi Automatisering today announced the immediate availability of its Troi Dialog Plug-in 3.1 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: "This release 3.1 fixes a hard to find bug in the Flash Dialog function. We also added a few wishes from our customers, making it a even more powerful resource for creating flexible dialogs!" New Features Troi Dialog Plug-in 3.1 adds these new features and fixes: - added a TrDl-GetPopup function that will return the popup lists that are currently stored in the plug-in - added a switch to the TrDl-DoListDialog function. You can now specify the a width and height of the list dialog - updated the User Guide and example files - fixed a bug on Mac OS where the first character would not be returned when returning a button text - fixed a bug with the Flash Dialog which could hang the machine Note that the last bug would only occur when a Flash Dialog was showing at the same time as the host would ask a client to close a file. Suggested Uses - Give your users better and flexible feedback. - Show quick instructions without the user having to dismiss the dialog every time. - 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.
