In Forms45 you will not be able to perform a commit of your changes untill ALL WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM triggers are successful. You shouldn;t need to worry about it.

When entering details, theuser, effectively, cannot move from the current field (ite,?) until it's WVI trigger is successful.

It all takes care of itself. Just try it. You'll see that you can't commit an updated record with unvalidated data in it.
