Validating Data in a Custom Dialogue Box

[Jed69]

I have a Custom Dialogue box which has two input fields one for a date and one for a time. The fields linked to the input fields have validation on them (Date dd/mm/yy and time hh:mm AM/PM) but this validation is circumvented by using the input fields in the dialogue box. Is there a script I can use as a next step to check the format of these field and show any errors.

Many thanks

I am not familiar with the type of validation you describe.

In any case, if you change a field's validation definition to 'Always', it will be validated in a custom dialog too. Another option is to validate through a script e.g.

Loop

Show Custom Dialog [ Buttons: “OK”, “Cancel”; Input #1: Table::Date ]

Exit Loop If [ IsValid ( Table::Date ) ]

End Loop

Thank you, both methods worked great
