Did you set it on the form control? It should be done on the table or form data source level.
Hi Palak,
In case it is an unbound control (as I understand from the title) , you have to write your own validation logic. The mandatory part will be checked upon saving a record for database fields.
i wrote this validation logic.
The field name is CopyOfdialogDateFrom which is a date field i have set its property as mandatory but as this field is not bound to any datasource the mandatory property is not working
this is my form, i have a requirement such that the date field should be mandatory.
If i click on find button without entering any value in the date field it should flash up with an error.
public boolean validateWrite(){ boolean ret; if (!CopyOfdialogDateFrom) { ret = checkFailed("field must be filled in"); } //ret = super();
return ret;}
You should add your validation logic on clicked() method of Find button.
void clicked() { super(); if (!CopyOfdialogDateFrom.valueStr()) { checkFailed("field must be filled in"); } else { //your code } }
So add this code to button click or to the function behind the button instead of validatewrite
thanks it worked
getting another issue as the field is mandatory and if i fill the field with some value and then clear it and then click on find it displays 2 error messages
1. the system's message
2. the message i printed via code
Just remove all your old validations regarding this field and put your validation only in the button click.
But what if i want the mandatory red line in that particular control??
Just set property Mandatory to true.
