Card windows will continue to impact our FileMaker solutions for years to come. Released in FileMaker 16, who would have thought that simply creating a new way to draw windows would be so empowering. We’ve long been able to create modal windows which force user interaction – but taking off the title bar and dimming the background window was all it took to make things much more powerful.
So, what is the most common thing you can do with a card window? Well, create a reusable dialog box of course. In previous videos I’ve covered card windows for progress bars, menu navigation systems and ultimate card window positioning. In this video, I show you how to take advantage of the new FileMaker 17 feature of being able to target a script based on the name of the script. By doing this, we can create a reusable dialog box system which provides us with full visual control and styling of the content.
If you’re interested in taking full advantage of the latest features and you’d like to standardize your own custom dialog boxes then this video will have the information you need.
