A-4 FileMaker Pro Developer’s Guide
Runtime application-specific features
There are some features that the runtime application supports that the
FileMaker Pro 4.0 application does not, such as:
1 running solutions in Kiosk mode
1 specifying custom About, Help, and Script menu items
When a runtime solution file with these options is opened in
FileMaker Pro 4.0, the file behaves as if these binding options were
not selected.
Preferences differences
Not all of the Preferences options available in FileMaker Pro 4.0 are
available in the runtime application.
The following Application Preferences aren’t available in the runtime
application:
1 Show templates in New File dialog is not available
1 Show recently opened files is not available
1 None of the Layout application preferences are available (always
locking layout tools, adding newly defined fields to current layout,
creating rectangular or rounded buttons)
1 None of the General Document Preferences are available (using
smart quotes, storing compatible graphics, specifying a default
password, executing scripts when opening or closing files, and
switching to a particular layout when opening a file)
Important Specify the desired preferences before binding solution files.
