2empowerFM Menu Popper Changelog


Back to 2empowerFM Menu Popper


  • - 2empowerFM Menu Popper 3.0 - 12th April 2013
    • Added ability to create dropdown menus that appear attached to FileMaker fields, creating the effect of a “combo box”.
    • Dropdown menus can change as users type in them to display advanced type-ahead search results.
    • Dropdown menus can be navigated with up/down arrows, Enter, and Esc without limiting the ability to type in the FileMaker field and the menus can easily be set to redisplay when the FileMaker field is clicked or down arrow
      is pressed.
    • Menu items can be disabled, made bold, italic, and/or underlined.
    • Menu items can be set to show conditionally based on which modifier keys are held down (shift, control, etc)
    • Pop up menu items can display a bullet, diamond, or checkmark.
    • Popup and dropdown menus may contain separator lines between items.
    • Menus may be told to call a script when closed and the script can call a new function to retrieve menu results.
    • Multiple menus can be created for future use and can have items dynamically added or removed.
    • Ability to insert one menu into another.

    • Fixed an error that occured when menu items in the same parent menu had items from a different menu between them in the menu definition. Here’s an example of a menu that previously did not work: epMenuShow(“x>y¶a¶x>z”).
    • Optimized speed of showing menus such that menus with a few thousand items now display as quickly or more quickly than the equivalent FileMaker menu.
