Hello. Working on my first FMGo solution. I've locked the zoom and turned off the menus so that things aren't crazy bouncing around all the time. I have a large detailed graphic in the middle of the layout. I would like the user to be able to zoom and slide that graphic to see more detail and or simply move around the visible portion. Can I use gestures to do this? (Pinch, expand, and finger slide, or whatever that's called.) If so, how would I go about figuring this out (I couldn't find an example anywhere). Thanks in advance for any help!

I have a project that creates maps and uses a Google API for geocoding and for mapping. File is hosted on a shared server FMS14. Maps display fine on MAC and on PC running FMP16. They worked fine on Filemaker Go until yesterday when the maps display properly for a second then gray out and I get a Google error “this page can’t load Google Maps correctly” and “Do you own this website?” Any ideas what is up?

Does FileMaker Go support the auto-complete (type ahead)like it Dows in FileMaker Pro? I am using a dropdown list that is very long and in FileMaker Pro it is very convenient to use the type ahead feature to help navigate the list. It doesn't seem to work in FM Go. What would you suggest for a work around?

Disabling keyboard pop-up

Hi All I've got a question on Filemaker Go as to the best way to prevent the keyboard pop-up happening when entering data. I am using a drop-down list to give the user values to choose from and every time the user clicks on the field the drop-down appears correctly, but the keyboard pops up as well. I've tried the suggestion here about "commit" and "halt": http://fmforums.com/topic/83185-how-to-disable-keyboard-input/ but that doesn't seem to work, (or I'm not implementing it correctly). Is there another way? The user needs the ability to enter data quickly line-by-line without the keyboard appearing on every entry, which is just a pain. Thanks in advance …

I wrote a quick little application that captures GPS points off the iPhone 4. The database has a field that uses the Location (x,x) function. It usually records as soon as a new record is created. My users are split between FM Go 12 and 13. When I tested the database in Go 12, it worked great, but Go 13 won't access the GPS data. I used FM Pro 12 Advanced to write it, if that matters. My brain is fried tonight and I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions?

I am reworking a FM Go database running stand alone on iPhones. So here is an issue I am running into: I can create an email containing a PDF (File -> Print -> PDF -> Email) or the whole database (File -> Save/Send -> Database -> Email) by using the menus. I want to script this so I can turn the menu bar off and assign this to buttons. There is a "Save as PDF" script step and a "Save a Copy As" scrip step. Both of these scripts have options for opening an email and attaching the file - which is exactly what I want to do. The problem is that both of these script steps save the file to the phone cluttering up the memory with files I don't n…

Filemaker 12 introduced the “Insert From URL” script step. This script step can be used in a variety of different ways, but at it’s core, will insert the code from any website into a text field. More importantly, Filemaker also has an error code, #1631 that indicates “Connection failed”. So when you try and Insert From URL, and do not have a network connection, error #1631 is returned. Load a known URL to a field or variable, then a Get (LastError) can trap for this, and your code can respond accordingly. http://www.anvildataworks.com/?p=1225/

i would like to use the save to pdf script step for an Invoice layout hosted on a MAC running FM Pro 13 using FMGO 13. I use a variable $Path, and I tried different values for that variable but non were successful. Example: "Filemac:\computername\drivename\folder\" & invoicenumber & ".pdf" Then I checked the show PDF file in the script step and showed a custom dialog after that to display the last error. The pdf displayed on the iPad and gave 0 error but was not on the host. Any ideas ?

Sending Data to a Zebra Printer
by Brogan6- 0 replies
- 1.3k views
(previously posted in Forum Problems and Questions - on accident) I have a network printer (Zebra gx420t) that has a built in server. I can call the printer's url in a webviewer. Within the webviewer I can go to the label stored on the printer and print from within the webviewer. Once it is printed the page defaults to the home page of the url. This is as close as I can get to printing to the printer from within FM Go. (I can use app called mobi Print but too much delay and screen flash). I would prefer seamless printing from within FM Go. Can I use a script to push a data file to the printer to recall the label with my variable data pulled from my database? or Can a scri…

How do you avoid incurring too much costs when using Go on on a cellular network. The bulk of the companies usage will be photographs. So, I was wondering if there is a way to sort of freezing the upload of the container file until the database is on a Wi-Fi network. Alternatively one can sync server and the local copies possibly or use the camera roll to import at a later stage, but that would not be ideal for me and hence the question.

At the moment, I am emailing the container contents to myself, receiving the email, then getting it to open in the app. Thanks.

No More FM Go 12 on App Store IOS?

Tried to grab FM Go 12 for IOS this morning for my newly replaced iPhone - but it does not appear to be available any longer? Not every client is going to upgrade to FM13, so what is the option if you want to run IOS? This seems really quick to stop support for a product that has only been obsolete for 2 weeks. Does FM Go 13 work with FMS12 or FM Pro 12?

I have a FM Go Database that is used to record lumber inspections using an iPhone 4. The database works wonderfully with one problem. We enter a lot of numbers and the number side of the QWERTY keyboard on the iPhone just does not cut it. Has anyone developed a numeric (calculator) keyboard for FM Go? How would you keep the iPhone keyboard from popping up when entering into a field if you made your own keypad? Thanks for the help!

Check Connection to Hosted Files
by Therese- 2 replies

Hello I have a separate model interface stored locally on an iPad which connects to the hosted files (the data) over the internet. How can I check when the interface can no longer "see" the hosted files because it has either timed out or the device has gone into 'hibernation" and the connection has been lost.. I am wanting to set up a script which tells the user this and therefore they need to close the interface and log in again, launching the open file scripts which in turn "find" the hosted data. I hope this makes sense Therese

Filemaker Go to SQL Server connection issue
by Jason E- 0 replies
- 2.9k views
I am currently running a few filemaker go files that connect to SQL server tables. Everything works great when first starting a filemaker go file but if left unattended for too long the file continues to look as if it is still connected properly to the SQL server tables, but it is not. The only way to reconnect that I have found is to completly exit out of the file and then come back in, which is not a very viable option for the type of work we are doing with the filmaker files. Is there any way to have the filemaker go system reconnect to the SQL server tables without exiting and restarting the file? If anyone could help it would be much appreciated. Thank You

I have an existing solution created using Filemaker Pro 12 that runs well on Windows and on Mac. However when I import it into Filemaker Go 12 on my iPad, the text on a button in the top left corner of the body of the layout gets truncated. The button is a simply a piece of text which I have setup as a button. The text reads: Remedy. But on the iPad it is showing up as: Remed. There is no overlaying text field or button. The text is in Arial. I wonder whether I am missing something obvious here. Many thanks. John Carpmael

Window Scoll in FM Go
by elmpine- 0 replies

I have noticed that the script step "Scroll Window [Home]" appears to work differently in FM Go (on an iPad) than it does, in testing, on a desktop. On the desktop it correctly goes to the top of the layout. On the iPad it goes to the first enterable field in the body of the layout. I am using the iPad as a questionaire form and it unfortuantely goes to the answer but does not display the question or any other prior instructions. I am using a work-around by palcing a non enterable field at the top of the body section of the layout (gTop) with script: go to field [gTop] refresh window[] go to next field Is it just me or is this an undocumented feature of thi…

Pretty straight forward conceptually - but having the hardest time figuring it out. I would like to press and hold a button and once released, display the amount of time the button was pressed down for. It looks like a button doesn't actually trigger a script until it has been released - and using a script trigger when accessing a field won't allow me to press it down as you would with a button. Any thoughts?

Go to Object script step not working in FM Go

Hi There, I was going to ask this a while ago, but didn't get around to it. I am noticing a major pain in the neck with regards to FM Go, when I am scrolling down the screen on the iPad it all works well until I need the program to go to the button that I have labeled 'Next'. I noticed that it just never went to the button. I even added a script step, Go To Field ('Next') and that didn't even help. Is there something I am missing or is there something else I need to do to get this to work. It really makes my program look cheap when I am at the login screen and the user can enter there name, then the company and then when the program should hop to the button, it …
