Dynamically set mandatory input

Hi,

On a certain event i need to set whether a given control is mandatory or not. I am getting the list of controls which are mandatory from a database or an ini file and then dynamically i want to set them as mandatory. Is there a direct property ??

Quite easy in fact !
Once you have set the list of mandatory controls (as a window's global
string like <field1>TAB<Field2>TAB....<FieldN> for example), in the "out
code" (in french "sortie de ..") of the controls you easely can test if the
name of the control is in the list (position(sControlList,myself..name) >=
1), and if it is, check if the control is empty, and if it is do a
ReturnToCapture()

Hope this help

Hi,

Thank you very much!! It worked .. but can i validate all the controls weather it is filled of not in a tab pane on click of a button and it should then go to the next tab!!

Hi

Each tab has a numeric reference (from left to right).
MyTab = 2 will make the second tab active.

The numbers remain the same even if a tab is made invisible.

If you want a global validation (only one check for all the controls), you
should then use another way of doing things.
For example, in a hidden button a code like this one
Local
sControlsToBeChecked is a string
="<control1>"+tab+"<control2>"+tab+...+"<controlN>"
sControl is a string
bOK is boolean

for all string sControl of sControlsToBeChecked separated by tab
if {sControl,indcontrol}~= "" then
bok = false
end
if not bOK then break
end
if not bOK then
error(<Your Message>)
ReturnToCapture(scontrol)
else
// activate the next tab
endif

and in the code modification of the tab, you do a
ExecuteProcess(<hiddenbutton>,trtChange)

Hope this one will be ok !
