Yes - if I open the screen and clear the first field, then tab to the next
field there is no error message. If I open the screen, navigate to the next
record, then navigate back to the first and do the same thing I do get an
error message in the status bar. Basically the same thing happened with
record level validation (but with the message in a message box happening
after the save button was clicked rather than the control losing focus)
Record and Field validation routine are as follows :-
def validateRecord(self):
"""Returning anything other than an empty string from
this method will prevent the data from being saved.
"""
ret = ""
myval = self.Record.MTypeDesc
if myval is None or myval =='':
ret = "Please enter a description"
# Add your business rules here.
return ret
def validateField(self, fld, val):
ret = ""
if fld == "MTypeDesc":
if val is None or val =='':
ret = "Please enter a description"
# Add your business rules here.
return ret
