ValidateUpdate embed and Alert message

[Robert Iliuta]

Hallo,


I have in a form in ValidateUpdate embed , some code to check if a value is true or false. After this code I have another code which is executed only if the above is true. When I press the save button and the value of my variable is false then a message popup and return to form. All is ok. After some tests I found out that after the validate popup message it run the code which is after the alert message. Bellow is my code.

  IF MEM:X = 0
     loc:invalid = 'MEM:X'
     p_web.SetValue('retryfield','UpdateMembri')
     loc:Alert = 'Please confirm !'
  END

! Here is the code  which run only if the MEM:X = 1
.....


It is ok if the validation faild,  to run the code which is after the validation?


Thank you for any advise.

Regards,
Robert

Robert,
You can have many validations and they are arrange in a cascede of validations, the user see the last validation in the cascade.
If you need yo check one validation first, then you need to place it last.
Hope this helps

yes, the idea is that if you have say 4 invalid fields on the form then all 4 display as invalid at the same time.
much better than showing the user 1, then they click save, then show them another one, and so on.

Of course immediate validation is much better.
