Script Triggers
What kinds of layout based script triggers are in use?

Can I turn script triggers off?
You can certainly turn off individual triggers by setting them not to operate in browse mode.
This keeps the trigger tied to the object in case you want to turn it back on later. If you haven't done this before, check out the section on Script Triggers in FileMaker's built in Help.
But Remember all of the above functionality is an important part of how SeedCode Complete works, so do take care when doing this.
What kinds of object based script triggers are in use?
The most common use of object based script triggers in SeedCode Complete is Type Aheads for Portal Filters and Selectors. but they are used in some other places as well.
Another common place object triggers are used are on Tab and Slide controls so we can use the On Object Modify trigger to launch a script after the tab is brought into focus. More details on this in Object Navigation.
There are other miscelaneuos triggers in place. The best way to determine if an object has a trigger attached to it or not is to turn on their visibility. In Layout Mode, choose View > Show > Script Triggers. When this is enabled you'll see a little orange scrolly thing on objects with attached triggers.
