M-Files has published a number of public samples within our MFilesSamplesAndLibraries GitHub repository, which focus on achieving specific tasks using our public APIs or Frameworks.
The Client-To-Server Communication sample may also be of interest.
Introductory
| Title | Source | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Hello, World | GitHub | Creates a basic UIX ShellUI application that displays a message when the shell frame object becomes available for use. |
| Show/Hide context menu item | GitHub | Shows and hides a context menu item depending on the selected objects (OnShowContextMenu). |
| Commands | GitHub | Creates two commands (buttons) that interact with each other. |
| Persistent Web Page | GitHub | Creates a persistent web page and shows the content within a tab on the right-hand-side of the interface. The navigation within the tab is persisted even as the user interacts with M-Files (e.g. by navigating into a view). |
| Run local application | GitHub | Adds a command (button) to the task area and context menu, opening Notepad when the button is clicked. |
| Built-in commands | GitHub | Shows how to react when built-in functionality (e.g. clicking Log out) is executed. |
| Confirm Workflow State Change | GitHub | Shows how to react when properties of objects are saved, and to stop the action. This sample prompts the user to confirm a workflow state transition before it is committed, allowing them to cancel the operation. |
| Show Web Page in tab (iframe) | GitHub | Shows how to display a remote web page in a tab, and how to pass data from items selected in the M-Files listings to the web page itself. This sample searches Microsoft Bing for the title of the currently-selected object(s). |
| View URL Generator | GitHub | Shows how to generate a URL for the currently-selected view via a command and popup dashboard. |
