Actually I lied since I was calling
isValid incorrectly. Just setting required to true on the StringValidator should
be fine. And in fact required is set to true by default…

It does support required but it
doesn’t seem to be raising an error if you don’t type in the field
and call isValid directly. If you do type in the field, backspace, and
tab out you will see the error. We’ll file for it not working automatically
on the isValid call.

Ok. Now I feel a bit
sheepish. It states in the Action Script Docs for
FormItem that 'required' property just shows or
hides the asterix(star)
in the UI. Nothing more. I got myself
totally confused by looking at
the Flex Store example that sneaks in their own
validator,
RequiredFieldValidator. I assumed that this
was part of either the
StringValidator, if you applied it to a field, or
it was tied into the
'required' field.
Could somebody at Macromedia please make a simple
addition of a required
field to the StringValidator or just make it so
that if you apply it to
a field it becomes a required field. This
would be similar to how the
EmailValidator behaves. (you input a
character, remove the character,
the move to another field, the email field will be
marked as required.)
Thanks,

Subject: [flexcoders] Modifying Panel and Text
Input
I have a couple of cases where I would like to
modify the default
components
to display differently, beyond what I can do in
the CSS. I would like
to
avoid building all new components but I will if I
have to.
The first is that I would like to create
TextInputs that are required
but do
not show the star next to the field. Think
of a form where everything
is
required. Having the star next to each
component is distracting rather
then
valuable.
The second case is that I would like to be able to
put in an icon next
to
the title on a panel. I see that there is an
icon property for
container
but it has no effect on the panel.(maybe I just
don't have it set up
correctly.) Control over the placement of the
icon in relation to the
title
would be nice, but not critical.
So what does the group have to say?
Thanks,
-Kent
