Troi Dialog Plug-in release
notes
Below you can find the version history, with an overview
of what has been changed in the current and previous
versions of Troi Dialog Plug-in.
Troi Dialog Plug-in versions for FileMaker Pro 12, 13, 14 and 15
Version 6.5.1 (for FileMaker 12 to 15) (February 15, 2017)
- Added switch to the Dial_ListDialog function: "-ExtraLineHeight=x", where you can specify extra height (in pixels) for each list item.
- (Windows) Improved the Dial_ListDialog function: list items should have more vertical height when using hi-resolution displays.
- Updated the code in several places and added improved namespace handling to make the plug-in more robust.
- (Mac OS X) Improved export of symbols of the compiled plug-in: now only the symbols that are required are exported.
- (Mac OS X, 32-bit only) Fixed a possible interference with other plug-ins, during the registration phase.
- Fixed a bug in the code for registering the plug-in.
Version 6.5 (for FileMaker 12 to 15) (May 17, 2016)
- Tested and improved compatibility with Windows 10 and OS X 10.11 (El Capitan).
- Tested and made compatible with FileMaker Pro 15.
- Improved the multi-threading behavior of the plug-in when running in FileMaker Pro 15.
- Improved the example file EasyInstallTroiPlugins.fmp12, to provide more help when an installation error occurs.
- Added description and type-ahead information for all functions of the plug-in. This extra function description will be shown in FileMaker Pro 15 in the Specify Calculation dialog box when you type a function name and also as a text popup in the functions pane on the right.
The type-ahead information is used by the auto complete functionality of FileMaker Pro 15. In the calculation pane of the Specify Calculation dialog box you can type a letter or two of the function name and instantly see a list of matching function names. For example when you type "li", the auto complete functionality will suggest the Dial_ListDialog function. You can also type a function name in the functions pane on the right: for example if you type "dial" you will see all the functions relevant to dialogs, like Dial_BigInputDialog.

- Updated the Dial_GetPopup function: when you add the switch "-SecondValueList" the plug-in returns the second value list for that popup.
- Improved the Dial_ListDialog function: added a switch: -AllowMultipleSelection which allows the user to select multiple items from the list.

- (Windows) Fixed a possible problem which could lead to an "error code 3" dialog.
- (Windows) Fixed a problem with the Dial_ProgressBar function and the automatic removal of forgotten progress dialogs: in some cases the dialog was not properly removed, leading to a 'zombie' dialog, that would not go away.
- (Windows) Fixed a bug where an ampersand (&) would not be displayed in the message text of dialogs.
- Fixed a bug where an error $$-4260 could be shown when installing the plug-in with the EasyInstallTroiPlugins.fmp12 example file. Note that this error may still show up, when an older version of Troi Dialog Plug-in is uninstalled. In this case please install the plug-in manually.
- Improved the example files BigInputDlog.fmp12 and ListDlog.fmp12

Version 5.5.7 (for FileMaker 10 through 12) (January 14th, 2013)
- Made compatible and tested with FileMaker Pro 12.
- Made compatible and tested with Windows 8.
- The example files are now available in the new .fmp12 format.
- Added new example file EasyInstallTroiPlugins.fmp12 (in the FileMaker Pro 12 formatted download only), which contains the plug-ins (a Mac and Windows version) and can install the plug-in from within FileMaker Pro 12.
- (Mac OS X) Fixed a bug in FileMaker Pro 12 where the standard icons could look grayed out.
- (Mac OS X) Fixed a problem with the Dial_ProgressBar function: now the progress dialog will reappear if you do a 'incr' command after the dialog was automatically removed by the plug-in (after the defunct timeout had passed). This is now the same behavior as it is on Windows.
- Added new switch "-GetPluginInstallPath" to the Dial_Version function: This switch will return the path where a plug-in is installed, for example "/Mac HD/Users/User Name/Library/Application Support/FileMaker/Extensions/Troi_Dialog.fmplugin".
- (Mac OS X) Rewrote the plug-in to defer the automatic loading of Cocoa Classes. Now the classes are in a separate bundle which is not loaded until later in the initialization process. This prevents a crashing bug, which occurred when the Troi Dialog Plug-in was installed in 2 separate places.
- (Mac OS X) NOTE we will remove the possibility to run on Mac OS X 10.4 or earlier. This plug-in is the last that can run on Mac OS X 10.4 or earlier.
Troi Dialog Plug-in versions for FileMaker Pro 9, 10 and 11
Version 5.5.6 (for FileMaker 9 through 11) (December 23rd, 2011)
- (Mac OS X) Fixed a bug with the Dial_Dialog function: now each line of the prompt text will be shown (up to 7 lines).
- Made small change to the bundle (on Mac OS X) and FileVersion resource (on Windows) so it now reflects the correct version number.
Version 5.5.5 (for FileMaker 9 through 11) (November 16th, 2011)
- (Windows) Fixed a bug with the Dial_InputDialog function, where the label text of dialogs would not be set in all cases, especially on 64-bit versions of Windows 7.

Version 5.5.4 (for FileMaker 9 through 11) (October 11th, 2011)
- (Mac OS X) Fixed a bug with the Dial_Dialog function when running FileMaker Pro 11: Dial_GetButton now also returns the last button number clicked.
- (Mac OS X) Fixed a bug in the Dial_Dialog function when running FileMaker Pro 11, where after typing several characters they would end up in the FileMaker file under the dialog. For FileMaker Pro 11 the title is now visible on Mac OS X too.
- (Mac OS X) Improved the the Dial_Dialog function, so that the title is now visible. Note that this change only occurs in FileMaker Pro 11. On earlier versions of FileMaker the dialog has not changed.
- Fixed a bug in the Dial_ProgressBar function, with the handling of blocking alert dialogs that can appear below the ProgressBar Dialog.
- Improved the Dial_ProgressBar function: you can now press the ESC key to stop the dialog, by adding the switch: "-StopOnESC" to the ProgressBar show command, like this:
Dial_ProgressBar( "-StopOnESC" ; "show" ; NrOfSecs ; DialogText )
You need to make sure the FileMaker application has time to process the ESC key. You can do this by adding a Pause/Resume step (of 0 secs) just after an incr command.
NOTE For FileMaker Pro 9 and 10 on Mac OS X -StopOnESC is activated by default, as a means to get rid of blocking alert dialogs that can appear below the ProgressBar Dialog.
- Fixed a bug with the Dial_InputDialog function and FileMaker Pro 9 were copy and paste did not work.
- Added a switch to the Dial_SetPreference function: "-TitlesInProgressBarDialogs". When you set this to "off"
the ProgressBar title is set to blank for all subsequent calls of the ProgressBar dialog.
Call this once at startup of your solution, so you don't have to change all scripts with the ProgressBar in it. Set to "on" to show the titles again.
- Updated User Guide and Overview.fp7 to reflect the new functionality.
Version 5.5.3 (for FileMaker 9 through 11) (June 29th, 2010)

- Fixed a problem where in some cases a spinning beach ball cursor would be shown instead of the arrow cursor.
- Made small tweaks to example files.
Version 5.5.2 (for FileMaker 9 through 11) (May 10th, 2010)

- Slightly modified the position and size of the dialog prompt in some dialog types, to accommodate for possible bigger icons.
- (Windows) Improved support for (transparent) PNG custom icons.

- Improved compatibility with Leopard.
- (Mac OS X) Improved the Dial_InputDialog function, it now resizes the prompt and input fields when you make the dialog bigger. Also the buttons are moved correctly now.

- Fixed a problem with the Dial_ListDialog function:
when calling the Dial_ListDialog function with an empty listitems parameter, the function now properly resets the last button clicked and last text selected. This means that the Dial_GetInput function now returns "" and Dial_GetButton returns 0 after this.

- (Windows) Fixed a problem in TrDl-FlashDialog, where the cursor could remain invisible, after the flash dialog.
- (Windows) Fixed a bug in TrDl-BigInputDialog, where
an internal troi debug dialog could appear (with error

fields.
- (Mac OS) Improved TrDl-InputDialog: Paste now works
in bulleted input fields. (copy and cut is disabled, for
security).

function for this. See the script "ListDialog (no empty
line at end)" in the ListDialog.fp5 example file for
details.
- Fixed a bug in TrDl-ListDialog with blank lines: when
the preselection string is an empty string now no
preselection is made (instead of the first blank line in
the list).
- In the TrDl-ListDialog function: any return character
in the items of a list now will be replaced by an
underscore: "_". This makes them visible in Mac OS X
10.3, where they would cause empty lines. If you see
unexpected underscores please check if there are returns
in your item list.

causes an extra drawing of a dialog in the default size.
This means that you no longer will see a white area in
the database window if you give for example a list dialog
a different position and different size.
- Added a note in the Delay.fp5 example, about
TrDl-DelayTicks and Mac OS X: There is a problem where
FileMaker does not update the screen after a
TrDl-DelayTicks step, even if you do a different Set

Script[0:00:00] step before the
TrDl-DelayTicks.
