Recently clients asked to get a quick way to insert records with JSON data. As soon as that was done, the next one asked for updating and then of course for our insert and update.
We had these functions for years:
And all these functions are very handy, but how about passing parameters as JSON?

Did you know that in Release 14.3 we have added the option in the Quicklist area to output the Quicklist entries as a JSON text array?
You can simply use the QuickList.JSONArray function to do this. Today I would like to introduce you to this function in comparison to a function that was added last year: QuickList.JoinJSON.
Quicklist entries as JSON array
Let's take a look at an example where we want to write entries in a quicklist and have them returned later as a JSON array. First we create a quicklist and enter a few entries there. We can then extend this list as needed afterwards, as we do with blackberry, for example.
Finally, we want to get this quicklist back as a JSON array. To do this, we use the new function QuickList.JSONArray, which returns an array with all the texts in the quicklist.
Set Variable [ $QL ; Value: MBS("QuickList.New";"apple¶pineapple¶orange¶apricot¶banana") ]
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS("QuickList.AddValue"; $QL; "blackberry") ]
Set Variable [ $JSON ; Value: MBS("QuickList.JSONArray"; $QL) ]
Show Custom Dialog [ "JSON Array" ; $JSON ]

We recorded the presentations at the MBS Xojo Conference in April 2024 and here is the last video with Geoff Perlman talking about DBKit:
We got a bonus session where Geoff Perlman, CEO of Xojo Inc, talks about DBKit and how it is built and answers questions.
Watch on YouTube. All videos go into the playlist.
Today I would like to introduce you to a really cool function from the latest release of the MBS FileMaker Plugin. It's about the DragDrop.AttachToOverlay function. This function combines 2 areas from our plugin. The possibilities of drag and drop and our overlay windows.
We introduced our overlays for the first time at the beginning of this year. These are areas that you can create on the screen, give them a background, which you can move freely as you wish and which you can use with several mouse events, such as click, enter or exit. At the beginning of the year, we published the blog article Overlay windows for FileMaker. The second part we want to talk about today is drag and drop. This plugin part allows you to create drop zones into which you can drag files, for example, which can be processed with a script trigger. You can now also create a drop zone on an overlay.
