Hi,

I have a form with a button.  The button has rules that submit to the environment and close the form. 

If the form has validation errors and the user clicks the button, a rather incomprehensible message is shown such as:

A user is going to have no idea what is going on, what they did that is wrong and whether they should continue or start over.

So, how can I hide or disable the button if there are validation errors?  I don't want to have to implement all validation twice..once against the elements and again against the button!

Thanks,

Craig

Hi,

Add a boolean secondary field with default value false. For each and every field in the form add an on after change event, and verify whether there are any errors in the form (thisXDocument.Errors.count > 0). If there are errors then set that field value to true. Add a conditional formatting to the button to hide/disable using this field. Also check this condition (thisXDocument.Errors.count > 0) in form onload and set the field value accordingly.

Hi Swathi,

I tried following this example, but somehow I am not able to set the field a value. Here is the code I am using for the field.

 function msoxd_my_field1::OnAfterChange(eventObj) { 

 if (eventObj.IsUndoRedo)

 { If (thisXDocument.Errors.count = 0)

XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("//my:dummy").text = "TRUE"

return; }

And then I created dummy hidden field on the form and I am using conditional formatting on the form to disable it if dummy field is set to FALSE.

Am I missing something here? Please help.

Thanks
