Make a copy of the “non-working” version of the demo - let’s call it simply “Formatting Bar”.Here are the steps to enable the buttons to show/hide the formatting bar: Incidentally, I could have attached the buttons to scripts, but in the interest of simplicity instead attached them directly to the “Allow Formatting Bar” action, like so: …and as you might expect, the buttons work in the second second demo, but not in the first. There are two seemingly-identical demo files in today’s download: Meanwhile “off” both disables the ability to display the Formatting Bar, and if the bar is currently visible, hides it as well. “Allow Formatting Bar” is a very odd script step, because “on” enables the ability to display the Formatting Bar, but (unless you know the trick, which we’ll get to shortly) does not actually display the bar itself. In FileMaker 12 and 13, the closest you will get to that script step is this one… Have you ever wanted to have a script toggle the Formatting Bar on/off in browse mode? If so, you will discover that FileMaker does not provide a “Show/Hide Formatting Bar” script step. Note: A special thanks to Jason DeLooze for sharing this technique, which neatly remedies a small, but vexing, annoyance.
