Dear Vixens and Reynards:
I have been working on something else, and now, I come back to
grids.
I have asked this question before, but not gotten an answer that
works. I am asking again just in case someone does know how to do
this or even has a good lead. I really do not want to have try to
code a workaround for this, because it is liable to be very nasty with
*lots* of events to handle.
I am also very puzzled that grids seem to be used a lot by
others, and I have not read about this issue.
I have come to the conclusion that it is much easier to allow them to
enter anything then don't allow them a save until they have fixed all
the errors. You can have a form level validate function that can check
each field in turn and if you have an error description in your cursor
you can upate this. Even if they have multiple errors you just show the
first one, then they fix that and it will show the next etc etc. When
all error fixed they can save it. You can show the error description by
using a label and code in mygrid.afterrowcolchange.
The user should know what needs to be entered anyway, so there should
not be that many errors. If they don't they need training.
I have just done a form with validation on up to 10 fields per row and
can explain a bit more if you are interested.
