filemaker - How can I show a specific record near the top in list view without screen flicker? -
i have script (in filemaker 14) sets variable, $_record_number
, get ( recordnumber )
based on specific criterion. once it's been set, want bring record top in list view. (it's possible criterion never fulfilled , $_record_number
empty.)
the portion of script looks following:
go record/request/page [ last ] refresh window [] go record/request/page [ no dialog ; max ( $_record_number ; 1 ) ]
when refresh window
step isn't present, script doesn't work correctly. instead of bringing record top of list view, brings bottom.
unfortunately, refresh window
step causes window flicker script redraws layout.
is there way duplicate end results of above steps without using refresh window
, avoid screen redraw?
failed techniques i've tried:
- using
refresh object
instead ofrefresh window
targeting objects in both header , body - using
go related record
relationship target record
if you're using filemaker 13 or higher, can try refresh object
script step instead of refresh window
. see http://www.filemaker.com/help/13/fmp/en/html/scripts_ref2.37.62.html more details on specific step.
i've had issues refreshing portals without refresh window
, if need text on label or button update when variable does, should work fine.
