Input validation

[GMKai]

Is there a way to indicate required fields in a group of e.g.

could maybe look like this:

Code: Select all

<textentry id="mytextentry" maxlen="3" accept="0123456789"/>

But how to indicate the Textentry is required?

The defacto way to visually inform user is to use an asterisk in descritpion


Username* [. ]
Password. [. ]
Country [ ] (optional)

Programticany check content, after user has press save/submit and if empty popup a requester... Its all done in your code

Alternatively you might setup a notify on Textentry.Text. So you can check for an entered string and enable/disable a submit button as desired.

Thanks alot.

I was going to stick a red asteriks to a Label, but Label does not support textformating, right?

Isn't there a nicer way to hand over an object and get validation of missing required fields as a present, to avoid manually checking the attributes of an object to avoid empty/null values?

Text formating suuport bold italics underline

There both ways nice

Well, that's definitely something your script should handle. I don't think there's any GUI toolkit that provides such features. You must manually check that and react accordingly.
