Avoid closing a form

xavigepe · 2006-06-14

I have a card form in which some fields are compulsory, so I don't want to let the user close this form if he or she has not informed these fields. How can I do it?.

Thanks,

Write your check in the OnQueryCloseForm-trigger:

OnQueryCloseForm() : Boolean
IF "Phone No." = '' THEN 
  ERROR('Please fill in the Phone No.');

OK. That's fine.

If I also wanted to avoid the user not only closing the form but moving to another record in the form?. How could I do it?.

Thanks so much,

Hi,

Try this in the OnNextRecord Trigger:

IF Condition THEN
   BEGIN
     IF (NOT CONFIRM("Continue anyway?, TRUE)) THEN
        BEGIN
            CurrForm.WrongField.ACTIVATE
            EXIT(Steps);
        END
     ELSE
        BEGIN
          NEXT(Steps);
          EXIT(Steps);
        END;
   END
ELSE
   BEGIN
     NEXT(Steps);
     EXIT(Steps);
   END;

Un saludo,

We discusseed it a number of times. Shortly: set form to DelayedInsert. Put code into OnInsert. There are more sophisticated solutions based on this idea. Search for it.
