How to make any widget component required

Answered Rudy Stricklan ● ago

I have several SelectList widgets on a screen. At the bottom of the screen I have a button labeled 'NEXT' that I want to advance to the desired screen, but only if certain of the SelectList widgets have had an entry selected. Something like this pseudocode: goto screen "screen-name" iff widget.user_name and widget.project_number <> null. Maybe the attached .vp file will help to illustrate what I'd like to make happen.

Check out this tutorial on how to create required input interactions. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the answer, Danielle, I had the same question, but I'll expand on it:

- the tutorial shows how to get an error or confirmation after you submit the data

- but good usability says the error/confirmation should be displayed after filling each field (before pressing the submit button)

- how can we condition the fields in confirming the data after the user inserted the said data into each of the fields?

Thanks,

Florin

Instead of defining the events for an 'on click' event in the button, you can define them on an 'on focus out' in each of the fields.

Even better yet-- thank you, Danielle.
