Drag-and-drop with FileMaker
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008
We sometimes get requests from customers to implement drag-and-drop in our solutions, for selecting certain records, e.g. you want to select a nice beer and add it to you order. This week's example shows a simple technique to use drag-and-drop functionality to select a record and drag it to another record to create a link between them.
The first thing you have to do is to give the images in the container the same name as the id for the record. So for record 1 we are going to store a picture with 1.png in the container field, for record 2, 2.png etc ...
Now we can use simple auto enter functions, to get the id from of the name of the container data.
