Embedded Layouts – FileMaker
No Sample File yet, this is a HACK for FileMaker Desktop versions.
The video below shows that you can use multiple card windows to build your own interface.
There are 2 templates, which use the same card windows in different layout formats.
Each of the elements or zones are a different card window, showing a specific layout.
The top menu is always the top menu layout, regardless of the context of the data displayed in other windows.
everything is done in FileMaker, without plugins, except the “Window Move” as FileMaker does not expose an onWindowMove action to us.
For that, I wrote a small helper application which moves Pseudo child windows along with their Pseudo parent window.
This is not really needed if the FileMaker file is always maximized.
I hope to write more information soon on how this is done
