So my solution was to recreate some of these functions with scripts and buttons.ĭemo File with Word Processing Buttons to format a Text Field Why Claris? Why? Strangely FileMaker does not seem to have a way to script the display of the formatting bar. No Script Step for Displaying the Formatting Bar
Sometimes you need more functions than what are being offered by the default setting or your users don’t see the “Show Formatting Bar” option in the menus and you want to put it up front. Why do we need to do this when FileMaker already has a Formatting Bar? Good question. If you aren’t using FM19 yet, the demo file here will work just fine, probably even a number of versions (I want to say FM 14 perhaps) back as there is no fancy new stuff in the scripts.
Sloper Data also has a nice demo of using the Quill Javascript app within FileMaker 19. The scripts are all database and field independent so it is very simply copy and paste to add these features to your own solution. I realize that I have very recently covered this topic in a previous post, but I kept working on the file for my own purposes and thought I would add a new post specifically detailing this version and how to add these features to your own database.
