[TIP] FM Pro Case function: do it -easier- in Servoy!

Postby Karel Broer » Mon Oct 23, 2006 9:17 pm

For all ye (ex)Filemaker Pro developers:
I allways liked the case(onething; do something ; else another thing) function in Filemaker.

You can do it 2 ways in Servoy:
- Switch statement (which I find a bit to much of code sometimes)
- or this way, which looks a lot like the case function itself:

Code: Select all
var result = (onething == 'something') ? onething : another thing


You can also check if a field has values in it:
Code: Select all
var result = (onething) ? onething : another thing


Pretty neat, huh? :)

Pretty neat!!
One drawback though. It won't make the code more readable.

That's a standard programmatic construct called a ternary operator ;)
