24U SimpleHighlight Plug-In for Mac

24U SimpleHighlight Plug-In is a sample FileMaker Plug-In project based on 24U FM Template. Its purpose is to highlight text and rectangular areas with a user-defined color. The new version 1.0.1 is an update to the copy distributed with FileMaker Developer 7.

24U SimpleHighlight Plug-In implements two color highlighting functions:

• X24uL_Highlight(SearchString; Text) finds all occurrences of SearchString in Text and highlights them with color and/or style as defined in Preferences. All previous formatting of Text remains unchanged.
• X24uL_SolidColor(Red; Green; Blue) generates a single pixel GIF image, which has the color specified by the Red, Green and Blue values. This image can be placed directly into a container field via the plug-in.

The primary features:

• highlights occurrences of search string in text
• preserves original text formatting
• fills rectangular area with a color
• returns container type data
• commented C++ source code included

24U SimpleHighlight Plug-In was created thanks to the collaboration of 24U Software and New Millennium Communications, Inc., and is available for download from both companies.
