Hi

Is there anyway of closing a form using code rather than the Ok/Close function on a button.

I have a button that validates on a few fields when clicked, if it passes the validation I want the form to close but if it fails I want the form to remain open and for the user to complete the missing field.

Can this be done?

Thanks in advance

Yes, opn the form make sure the OnValidate event is set. Then you can use AXFormValidate = False (to stop it closing) or AXFormValidate = True (if OK to close). Open pretty much any other SLX form and you'll see this/how it works.

Sorry, I should say - you'd be best to put your code (for Validation) in this routine rather than your own (you can use CloseQuery too). However, if you really want to do it - then you can just do btnOK.Click to emulate it.

You can also force a close from any script at any time by;

application.basicfunctions.closecurrentview true ''' closes form same as cancel

application.basicfunctions.closecurrentview False ''' closes form same as save

Hi, Thanks for the replies

The problem that I seem to be having is that if I set the button ModalResult to mrNone (so that it doesn't close the form which is why I need the close script) the validation doesn't see what has been entered in the field, so if there is nothing in the field when I enter the form and I click my button it validates and says you have missed the key field, however if I then enter something and then click the validate button it still shows the missed field message as though it hasn't seen whats in there. Obviously when I had the ModalResult set to mrOk it was saving the data in the field before validating.

How can I automatically save what has been entered so that when I click the validate button it sees what has been entered?

Thanks

Any advice on this would be appreciated.
