G'day.

The goal is to enable RealBasic to talk to Filemaker within a WinXP
environment.

Looking for someone to help create a Windows FMP 6 plugin.

Currently just looking for a sample ''hello world' project framework
that compiles
with Visual Studio .net.

If you know anyone that may be interested please pass this on.

Thanks

Actually, Wim's partner in BASIC programming on the Mac side is Todd Geist,
who just recently announced some more RB connections:


"[Ann] MBS FileMaker Plug-in v1.1 Released."

October 31 , 2006.

MonkeyBreadSoftware and geist interactive, release version 1.1 of the

MBS FileMaker plug-in.



What's New!



- Now FileMaker 7 Compatible!

- Run VBScripts or JScripts from FileMaker

- Trigger FileMaker Scripts via calculations

- Disable the window widgets. Turn of "Close", "Zoom", and "Minimize"

- Turn the Window Shadow on OSX on or off

- Set the Application Window Size and Position on Windows OS



Plus many more new functions, fixes, example files, and documentation.



The MBS plug-in now contains over 50 functions, adding power to

FileMaker in the areas of Applescript, Windows Scripts, Window

Management, and Screenshots. Planning for version 1.2 is already

underway. Many more features to come.



MonkeyBreadSoftware (http://www.monkeybreadsoftware.de), maker of the

popular MBS Plug-in for RealBasic and geist interactive (http://

www.geistinteractive.com) have teamed up to bring the extensive MBS

function library to FileMaker. The MBS RealBasic plug-in contains

over 10000 functions, many of which would be useful to Filemaker.

This release brings the total number of functions ported to FileMaker

to 55.



The plug-in is available for FileMaker 7, 8 and 8.5. It is available

for Windows XP and as Universal Binary for Mac OS X. There is a

Developer Tool available to help you get started quickly with

documentation and Calculation builder. Demos are available on the

website, along with license and purchasing information.

I connect to FMP8.5 with the directlink ODBC driver from VB2005.

I would be pleased to give you code if you think it would help...

Tim

Just wondering - why are you using fmdotnet??

Just curious

Reading this made me realize Howard's original reply was pointing in the
right direction, to Wim's fmDotNet:

http://www.connectingdata.com/fmdotnet.htm

Wim's created a set of VS classes that allow creation of a data connection
to the XML feed from Filemaker Server Advanced.

But Tim's suggestion might make more sense-- I've never been able to make a
direct ODBC connection from VS2005. I can make the data connection, but it
keeps breaking on an error:

'Error [HYCOO] [DataDirect][ODBC SequLink driver][Optional feature not
implemented.]

But I can, just in the Server Explorer, see the target table and columns,
via an ODBC connection. Pretty cool.

So yeah, I'd love to see your code.

Thanks,

Whole different world, and I haven't a clue. I've fiddled around a little
with the sample plugin code that ships with-- it may only ship with
Filemaker Developer, I can't remember now where they put it. As I recall,
the API left only one 'hook' available, which limited the possibilities for
plugin developers, and they opened that up some with post-6.

You might try contacting some of the plugin developers for some leads. Many
of them are very generous and eager to share, perhaps more so in this
instance, since there's hardly a market for plugins for 6. I'd ask at CNS
(who make SMTPiT) and Troi. Joseph Mele, who contributed to this thread, may
also have some more useful advice.
