HI Everyone,

Suppose if I have defined two triggers Key-next and When-validate-item on the same item.

If my key-next is going to fire first and When-validate-item later
how can the validation happen if I write a code like go_item('XXXX')
in my Key-next.Does it mean that if u write a code in key-next to jump to some other item, no validation takes pLace?

Please explain it to me as it is the most frequently asked Quest in Interview.

Regads

I thought the When-Validate-Item trigger fired before the Key-Next-Item trigger.

How about YOU create a test form, add the two triggers each with a 'message' and 'pause' command pair so that you know which one has fired, run the program and tell US which one runs first?

True, you can't use COMMIT in WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger, but more accurate statement would be that you can't use any restricted procedure in that trigger.

However, what does your statement have to do with the question discussed in this topic?

And since this topic is 6 years old is there any point resurrecting it?

Mr srinivasocp
I have came across with the problem that you are facing the way i solved that issue, i just delete the when validate trigger and wrote condition on key-next-item then it just work out and i got relief finally from ths problem
Example of simple code on key next item
if :a>0 then
message('abc ');
else
go_item('XXXX');
end if;

thanx

Of course if you just use key-next-item then there is no way to stop the user entering an invalid value.
You need to use a validate trigger for that.

Moreover, KEY-NEXT-ITEM won't even fire if you navigate through it with a mouse (i.e. you don't use keyboard's <TAB> or <ENTER> keys which are responsible for KEY-NEXT-ITEM trigger), so nothing you put in there will ever be executed.

but if you are using both the triggers(when validate trigger and key next item and wrote condition on when validate) then the same prob arose that is key-next-item fires before when validate trigger and and no sooner key-next-item will fire it will jump to the specified item and after jumping that item then valdate trigger fire at that time that cause no meaning (it is in query mode )

Dear friends,
I have similar problem. Pls give me some inputs to achive this result.

There is a multi record block in my form. When user tries to enter duplicate data in this block and tab out from the last field i.e. end_date then a pop-up should be raised.
"This is duplicate record, you want to keep it?" It has 2 buttons, Yes or No.

When user clicks "Yes" button the data should be saved immediately(committed).
Since i put this validation in when-validate-item of that end_date filed i can't use commit-form; Is there is any work around to achive this ? Pls suggest some ideas.

Regards,
Raj

What happens if user selects "No" (i.e. he doesn't want to keep it)?
