Progress Bars, HTML, Base64 and FileMaker
THIS LINKEDIN POST FROM LAST WEEK on using Base64 to make progress bars led to others in the LinkedIn Community to offer similar solutions from their tool chests (all files posted with authors permission):
Benjamin Fehr of Geschäftsführer bei EfficientBizz GmbH shared a FileMaker file with some cool custom functions that show a variety of animated results in web viewers.
Claus Lavendt of DataManix contributed a sample file full of different types of progress indicators (this one will get your attention!).
David Knight of Angel City Data tossed in an example file from 2009 Devcon – cutting edge stuff back then!
All three files were demonstrated and well received at last night’s New Mexico FileMaker User Group meeting – a meeting we held both in person and virtually using Zoom.us – a great screen sharing and video conferencing solution at a low price – check it out.

some remarks about my WV-Toys:
For the Tickers, when you analyze the WV and the cf, you’ll find the parameters for Fontsize, colors, directions, etc. hardcoded in the WV-Formula though you can change them anyway.
Thanks Don to have this posted here and by that, opening the door to a topic that promises much more than we know yet. Just to mention some:
– is WV’s rendering fast enough and that reliable to build entire GUI’s and Printlayouts in html?
– I don’t know much about JavaScripts but shouldn’t it be possible to build PlugIn like functions for iOS based on WV and JavaScripts?

I hadn’t thought about building entire layouts – especially print! – in html. An intriguing thought that opens up a world of design possibilities, as well as the ability to integrate javascript and perhaps other web technologies. Chris Ippolite at iSolutions does wonders with javascript and FileMaker. I wonder if he’s tried anything yet?

Sad, but my tool doesn’t work anymore with Mac OS X -10.10 Yosemite.
Looking forward to get some hints by FMI-Support:

Thanks for the update, let’s hope FMI Support comes through.

some small animated gifs will work.
having more than 1 WV on a layout mostly fails rendering process.
Hope this is not the reason why FMP14 pre-release still isn’t available 🙂
