[flexcoders] Looping over a tree and selecting an entry
Hi folks, I want to have a tree with the functionality of preselecting a particular entry. So I'm working myself through all the nodes and leafs, which is working fine. But it seems, that I just can set the .selectedNode property on nodes or leafs which are already visible or opened. Is that correct, can others share this experience ;) ? Cheers Kai Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] Changing the wrongLengthError in a DateValidator

Re: [flexcoders] Changing the wrongLengthError in a DateValidator
Mika,
thx, this is a very helpful one.
Today I ran into another one, I was trying to access the field
attribute of a validator inside the class, got an undefined all the
time. The docs states that the field propery is not to be set in
ActionScript, is it not accessable at all?
app.mxml:
MyOwnValidator field=model.bla /
inside of MyOwnValidator.as:
class MyOwnValidator extens mx.validators.EmailValidator
{
public var myfield = ??? ;
...
}
Cheers
Kai
MK Oops, this is the problem I was trying to answer to. Sorry folks about the
MK previous post... :)
MK Class MyDateValidator extends mx.validators.DateValidator
MK {
MK public function validationError(errorCode:String,
MK defaultMessage:String,subfield:String):Void
MK {
MKIf (errorCode == wrongLength)
MK defaultMessage = yourTranslatedMessage;
MKsuper.validationError(errorCode, defaultMessage, subfield);
MK }
MK }
MK Only thing you need to do is catch the wrongLength error and re-write the
MK error message yourself.

[flexcoders] Validation TextInput
Hi all, I want a bunch of TextInputs within a form to be required and to validate against a common mx:Validator. This works fine in general, but the customer wants that the validation comes up even if someone just sets the focus to the particular TextInput, doesn't type anything and immediately removes the focus from that field. An example would be to just use the tab key to speedo through the whole form... But obviously, the validation shouldn't trigger before that (so - not loading a form which is full of failed validations) To fullfill another requirement (validation during typing) I subclassed TextInput and made the change Event committing as Steven and Allister explained in their book on pg. 189: [ChangeEvent(change)] So, my idea of triggering the validation for my particular issue was to broadcast the focusOut event in the subclass as committing as well: [ChangeEvent(focusOut)] But, it doesn't work out. What works is to add focusOut=mx.validators.Validator.isValid(this,'mymodel.myfield') as an attribute to my subclassed MyTextInput. But that doesn't seem to be the best way doing it as there might be a bunch of input fields, isn't there a better solution? Cheers Kai Yahoo!

Re[4]: [flexcoders] Re: Required validation doesn't work...
Hi Matt, MC Hope this clarifies things, yes, it sure does! Thanks for that! Let me just comment on you, because I couldn't fully agree with you ;) Let's imagine a form in the context of the order processing of a shopping cart. When the user follows the process, why should he leave a certain field open to fill in later? I don't see a use for that. For me, one big advantage of the Flex validation would be that if I tab out of an empty required field I instantly will receive an error message. I'm sure that there is a way to trigger the validation of the certain field capturing the key event or whatever in AS, but I would really like to be able to choose how my validation should behave. There might be situations where the application should behave like you described, I don't know. But in my sense of understanding validation it means that a required field is required - always and not just if I entered something before. Otherwise - let's say my form is completly empty at the start - I could tab throught an n-fielded form and pushing my action-button and will receive my validation result during click time. For me that's not the natural behaviour, it's very similar to HTML forms with some JavaScript which checks for errors after collecting all that data - which I always disliked ;) Cheers Kai MC It is intended behavior that if you do not MC change anything in an initially blank field the validator will not fire. The MC reason we did this is that many times a user will tab through a field intending MC to fill it in later, so we found it to be frustrating when the field MC immediately turned red (how can my value be invalid when I didn't MC enter anything yet?). Additionally, if you had an alert or some other obtrusive MC mechanism to indicate that validation had failed it was even more frustrating MC to the user. So we decided if they didn't actually change the value and MC the value had not been set before, don't fire validation. Essentially MC you have to get one real value (not null, not undefined, not empty string) before MC binding and validation will start to fire.
Re[2]: [flexcoders] Re: Required validation doesn't work...
Hello Dirk and Susan,
in my case it even doesn't do anything. It doesn't do any validation,
I left all to be validated fields empty and was able to tab around the
field, sending the form etc.
Cheers
Kai
Can you point me to which snippet of code doesn't work? I
tried the code on pg. 582 of devflexapps.pdf and it works for me.
DE sure. I was referring to the snippet on bottom of page 582. I pasted it
DE into a bare bone Application, code is as follows:
DE ?xml version=1.0?
DE mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml;
xmlns:local=*
DE
DE !-- start code block from the docs --
DE mx:Model id=date
DE month{monthInput.text}/month
DE day{dayInput.text}/day
DE year{yearInput.text}/year
DE /mx:Model
DE
DE mx:TextInput id=monthInput/
DE mx:TextInput id=dayInput/
DE mx:TextInput id=yearInput/
DE
DE mx:DateValidator field=date/
DE !-- end code block from the docs --
DE /mx:Application
DE This is *not* working. The Validator doesn't gets triggered after
DE changing focus by tabbing, clicking etc. I guess it is because the
DE field attribute of the DateValidator is set to the whole model data
DE instead of a field of the model, e.g. data.month. The code is working
DE if you do this e.g.
DE mx:DateValidator field=date.month/
DE now the DateValidator gets triggered after leaving the monthInput
DE TextInput field.
DE Another thing I want to mention here is the following: validators only
DE get triggered if you type at least one char into them - you can delete
DE this characer afterwards but you have to type once. If you leave them
DE blank (that is: load the mxml, click into the first TextInput so that it
DE gets the focus, then change the focus by tabbing) they do not get
DE triggered. Is this the intended/expected behavior?
