DialogMagic Description

Automates FileMaker Pro dialog scripting. DialogMagic is a FileMaker Pro plug-in that allows developers to script data entry and automate button selection within FileMaker's dialogs in ways that FileMaker Pro does not normally make available. Here are some key features of "DialogMagic": · Automate imports and upgrades - Ability to open files with special passwords, update serial numbers and rename old files · Time Saving - Save yourself from spending hours changing passwords file by file in a multi-file solution when you can script the process and execute the same task with one click of the mouse · Dynamically export data - DialogMagic allows you to set data formats and file names from within your scripts. · Automate template creation by precisely scripting the creation of clones · Easily move, rename, and delete files from within your solutions · Launch related or referenced files such as client correspondence, spreadsheets, reports, etc. · Control FileMaker's passwords - Create your own custom login solution · Maintain image catalogs - Automate inserting pictures, specifying whether images should be stored or referenced only, with saved or dynamically calculated file paths; · Continue or cancel paused scripts - Within a script or field calculation! · Create Shortcut or Create Alias - allows selection of a file and dynamic creation of a shortcut (Windows) or an alias (Mac) · Automate FileMaker's Send Mail function to allow dynamic file attachments · Automate Imports! - Entirely script the import process! You can set the location and name of a file based on field values or a calculation (even rename the old file on-the-fly). · Set Serial # - Update next starting serial number in a serialized field without requiring entry into Define Fields. This allows a user to change serialized values, for instance, at the time of an upgrade, without having master access. · Set Export File Name and Location - Dynamically create uniquely named export files from within a script, and specify where you want them located - even create a folder on-the-fly! · Create Clones and Copies - Set the name and location of clones and copies based on field values · Insert Picture - You can automate the process of inserting (importing) pictures by specifying their name and location dynamically as well as specifying whether to store the actual image or just the reference. · Open Password - Create custom log-in systems and only have to enter one password! Automatically enter FileMaker passwords from a locked · Change Password - Change passwords across multiple FileMaker files from a single button. · Custom User Name - Set the custom user name at startup from the login name field you have created. · 'Select File' - parameter for Set Destination Folder (as well as for the Set Source Folder command). Returns the file name of a file selected by the user, allowing control of all file management functions. · Move File and Copy File - Move or copy any file from one location to another, all from within your solution's scripts. · Open- Launch any application or file (not just FileMaker Pro files) from within your FMP solution. Useful for opening referenced files, such as contact correspondence, spreadsheet reports, etc. · Enter- Lets your solution type the enter key. This has many possible uses within a script, from accepting a dialog for a user to giving you the ability to resume a paused script from within a script step. · List Volumes - Returns a list of mounted volumes. · List Destination Folder - Returns a list of files in the destination folder. Gives you the ability to import all files or insert all pictures contained in a specific folder! · Get Mouse Up - Enables you to place just one button a layout, yet to branch your script based on where the user clicked. Great for contextual help systems or for position-based data selection. Requirements: · FileMaker 7/8/9
