Deprecated
This function was deprecated.
MBS( "FM.QueryCustomFunctionsList" )
Parameters
none
Result
Returns OK or error.
Description
Queries custom functions list.You can run this at the end of a script.
Then when no script runs, our plugin can trigger menu command for the custom function dialog. A few milliseconds later we read the list of custom functions. Then the plugin closes the dialog.
Use FM.CustomFunctionsList to later read the list.
This function requires that the current user has permissions to open the custom function dialog and a menu entry to do so.
Deprecated as new dialog works differently in newer FileMaker Pro versions.
Examples
Query custom function list:
# schedule script to read results in a second
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "FM.RunScriptLater"; 1; Get(FileName); "show result") ]
# now start query
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS("FM.QueryCustomFunctionsList") ]
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "FM.RunScriptLater"; 1; Get(FileName); "show result") ]
# now start query
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS("FM.QueryCustomFunctionsList") ]
