Actually, I'm not paying attention here. If you have a custom component and were already using a validator, all you need to do is override validationFailed and validationSucceeded (I think those are the method names) and you'll be able to raise your tooltip. Just make sure that that the listener property for the validator points to you (which it should if your component is the source of the binding that triggers validation, otherwise just set it).
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JesterXL Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2005 12:19 PM To: Flexcoders Subject: [flexcoders] Custom Validation Error I've been trying to solve this for a week. I'm making progress, but at a snails pace. My goal is to have my custom component show a tooltip like TextInputs do when you have a validation error. In my debugging various Flex framework files, apparently _Application_watcherSetup creates a bunch of PropertyWatchers. The issue is, my custom comonent proprties do not pass in an object for the 2nd parameter to PropertyWatcher, and thus do not trigger validation events so Binding + ToolTipManager and friends can show a validation error as a tooltip with the errorString. The Application-generated.as file is weird, though; the _Application_watcherSetup just has 3 dependecy variables, and I can't find who is creating the PropertyWatchers even though the FlexBuilder 1.5 call stack claims it's that function. Any guidance? -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
