Oops, this is the problem I was trying to answer to. Sorry folks about the
previous post... :)
Class MyDateValidator extends mx.validators.DateValidator
{
public function validationError(errorCode:String,
defaultMessage:String,subfield:String):Void
{
If (errorCode == wrongLength)
defaultMessage = yourTranslatedMessage;
super.validationError(errorCode, defaultMessage, subfield);
}
}
Only thing you need to do is catch the wrongLength error and re-write the
error message yourself.

Subject: [flexcoders] Changing the wrongLengthError in a DateValidator
Hi all,
another validator-related question:
Having to validate for a date using a DateValidator, the requirements
are to just deliver one validation message if the validation fails.
Following the concept, I'd have to add a long list of attributes to my
validator call, as in:
<mx:DateValidator ... invalidCharError="blabla"
invalidFormatCharsError="blabla" ... />
So we thought it might be nice to subclass the DataValidator and to
define a defaultErrorMessage which we can pass into our own validator
class and internally, the class is responsible to overwrite the values
of the pre-defined errors.
Works quite good, BUT doesn't work for wrongLengthError. The docs
state:
>Error message when the length of the date doesn't match that of the
>inputFormat. Default is "Please type the date in the format
><i>inputFormat</i>.".
That means the default error might be something like:
"Please...format mm/dd/yyyy"
As far as I understand, I'd expect to be able to overwrite the default
with anything I like, but regardless to what I set the value for
wrongLengthError, Flex always adds the value of inputFormat to my
error message - I end up with something like
"This is my errortext and I want you to type it correct mm/dd/yyyy"
This is especially annoying with localized error messages in which the
inputFormat has to be at another place within the error message by
grammar: "Bitte nutzen Sie das Format dd.mm.yyyy in diesem Feld".
Is there a way to get rid of the automatic concatenation of the
inputFormat within the wrongLengthError of this validator?
Cheers
Kai
