Result
The function returns ? if this plug-in is not loaded. If the plug-in is loaded the result depends on the input parameter. It is either a:
VersionString:
If you asked for the version string it will return for example “Troi URL Plug-in 5.0”.
VersionNumber:
If you asked for the version number it returns the version number of the plug-in x1000. For example version 4.5 will return number 4500.
ShowFlashDialog:
This will show the flash dialog and then return the error code 0.
Originated in
Troi URL Plug-in 1.2
Compatibility
FileMaker Pro 16 to 19
Considerations
IMPORTANT Always use this function to determine if the plug-in is loaded. If the plug-in is not loaded use of external functions may result in data loss, as FileMaker will return a question mark to any external function that is not loaded.
Example
TURL_Version ( "" )will for example return “Troi URL Plug-in 7.0”.
Example 2
TURL_Version ( "-GetVersionNumber" )will return 2030 for version 2.0.3.
TURL_Version ( "-GetVersionNumber" )will return 7530 for (a future) version 7.5.3
So if you want to test for a feature introduced with version 4.5, test if the result is equal or greater than 4500.
