Hello,

can someone post a quick example of how to use the validate handler in execDialog method? There is no example given in the api examples.

I have two simple text inputs, which i want to validate before continuing the script.

MfG, Michael

For example, you can add this code in the first example given in the reference file, between the initialize and commit sections (the location doesn't really matter, though):

validate: function (dialog) {
var results = dialog.store();
if (results["fnam"]=="" || results["lnam"]=="") {
app.alert("You must enter both names.");
return false;
}
return true;
},
