Default Conditional tabbing - 12-28-2006 , 02:10 AM






I'm new to this newsgroup so if the answer's already here please excuse.
I had a quick look and couldn't find it.

I'd like to know if there's any way to set up conditional tabbing. By
this I mean I would like to have the tab jump selectively to two
different places depending on what the user enters into the current field.

For example, say the user is currently in a field "Number of people" and
enters an integer. I would like to set things so that if they enter zero
it jumps to field A but have it jump to field B if they enter any other
value.

Is there a way to do this? I've not been able to find one. If it makes
any difference I'm using FMPro V.6

You could use a script call plugin when the user modify the field, to send a
validation that excecute a script to jump to the desire field upond your
validation.

You can use this free plugin to do that

Good luck

Unfortunately it seems that the plugin only works with version 7 or 8
and I have version 6. Oh well, I was looking for an excuse to upgrade...

Then in FMP6, you may use 'Events' or 'Troi Activator', both with fees.
'Events3' can be found at :

'Activator' can be found at www.troi.com/software/activatordetails.html.

Thanks! Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier but JF Fortier above
contacted me outside the news group with a plugin (Script Sheduler 2.0)
that worked well and solved the problem. Thank you though and I'll check
out your sites as well in case they have other useful abilities as SS did.

Colin,
I looked with Google and I couldn't localize that plugin. Isn't it Mac only
?
