NightWing Enterprises announces Clairvoyance for MenuMagic

ttp://www.nightwing.com.au/FileMaker

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA — 5 August 2004 — NightWing Enterprises this morning released a Clairvoyance Implementation Resource Kit for users of the widely acclaimed MenuMagic plug-in.

This revolutionary technique is seamlessly cross-platform and harnesses the new capabilities of the SecureFM/MenuMagic plug-in released earlier this week by New Millennium Communications Inc. The technique includes variations which will place shaded suggestion text after the cursor in the current field (automatically updating as the user types), provide an automatically refreshing portal list of matching values (with keyboard control of the selection of items from the list), or a combination of both.

At the heart of this new technology is a comprehensive key-trapping methodology which grabs each keystroke typed, using it to drive an instantaneously updating type-ahead and auto-fill interface. The automation effect is smooth and tightly controlled -unlike techniques used in the past which relied on looping scripts and other work-arounds.

NightWing’s Senior Consultant and Developer, Ray Cologon commented "we are offering a Resource Kit which will provide developers with all the code and information needed for a fast-track implementation of this technique in their solutions. The new version of MenuMagic plug-in is ground-breaking and its wide adoption in cross-platform solutions provides plenty of scope for the use of this technique..."

The Clairvoyance Implementation resource kit will include master access to three demo files, several example files showing compound filtering techniques, a set of explanatory notes plus a (runtime) resource file as an aid to configuring key-trapping implementations with the MenuMagic plug-in.

The full kit is available for a nominal fee of US$25 (Note: license/s for the MenuMagic plug-in must be purchased separately). More information and demonstration downloads are available now from:
