Hi,
I have a data entry form with text items and some buttons. I have written code to validate text entered by users in 'when validate item' trigger. I have also three buttons 'update', 'cancel' and 'exit'.
The problem is with cancel. It is intended to clear the present data of the form and start new entry by the user. The 'clear_form(no_validate)' is the code for this button.
If the user, in the middle of entry and there are items with invalid data, wishes to start a fresh entry (by clicking cancel button), always the when_validate_trigger for the item triggers and clear_form does not work unitl valid data is entered in the items. Is there any way to overcome this problem?
Thanks,
Anvar

Hi,
What you can try is the following :-
1. Create a non-database control block display field
(Data type = Number, Size =1)
2. In the When-Buton pressed of the following
buttons, set the value to :
When Clear button is pressed : Set the value to 1
All other buttons : Set the value to 0.
When New form instance : Initialize to 0
3. In When-Validate triggers, add in a extra line,
If ( Nvl(:control_block.NEWFIELD,0) = 0 ) Then
< Your Code goes here >
End If;
What i'm suggesting here is :-
- When-Validate will ONLY fire when the value of
the field NEWFIELD is 0. Since it is
set to '1' when CLEAR button is pressed, the
trigger code should not execute.
You can give it a try.

Hi Mr.Shailender Mehta,
Thanks for the the mail.
But I'm afraid it will not solve my problem. Initially NEWFIELd = 0 (ie . when_validate fires). So the validation trigger will fire even before when_button_pressed fires, when NEWFIELD is still 0. I think I might be able to overcome the problem by writing code in the mouse_enter_item and mouse_leave_items and forcing validation at key_next_item.
Since this is a common scenario, I feel some simpler logic would be available.
Anvar.

hi,
hope u have kept the buttons in control block.(not compulsory)
all u have to do is , just do the following settings
in property palette of "cancel" button.
keyboard Navigable : NO
mouse Navigable : NO.
I feel now it works.
Reason : If both of the above properties set YES , then when u press the button, control moves out of the text field (for which u said validation failed).when control moves out the text field , validation has to fire.
if u make these 2 properties of button false , then eventhough u r pressing the button, control will be in text field only, so validation will not fire. rather button pressed trigger will fire (clear_form(no_validate)).
give a try.
satya.

try using if condition to check data,
which u might have used in cancel button click
event and use clear_record
this will resolve ur prob.

Hi,
I am facing a peculiar problem and not able to solve it for last 4 days.
I have kept the buttons in control block
and done the following settings
in property palette of "cancel" button.
keyboard Navigable : NO
mouse Navigable : NO.
Still the when-validate-item and when-validate triggers are getting fired when I am pressing CANCAL button from a record in multi-record block.
The following is the situation:
I added a new record at the end of the displayed record and changed the item of a list item(4th field of the record), then pressed 'Cancel' button. All The validations are fired starting from the 1st field in the record.
Please let me know, when your above said solution can fail.
I am to deliver the code to the client this week.
