Syntax
<Result> = InvalidInputListControl([<Element used>])
<Result>: Array of Controls
Array of Control variables containing the list of controls that required data input/contain invalid data. This array is sorted according to the tab order of the controls.
<Element used>: Optional control name or window name
Name of the control or window to be checked. If the control is a container (Tab control, Supercontrol, etc.), all its controls will be checked.
If this parameter is not specified, all the controls in the current window will be checked.
Remarks

Characteristics of the verification/detection of controls that require data input/contain invalid data

The input will be checked in the following types of controls:
  • Radio Button/Check Box control: if the required input option has been enabled (or the MandatoryInput property is set to True), checks that at least one option is selected.
  • Rating control: if the required input option has been enabled (or the MandatoryInput property is set to True), checks that a rating has been selected.
  • Editable Combo Box: if the required input option has been enabled (or the MandatoryInput property is set to True), checks that a value has been entered or selected in the Combo Box.
    If an input mask has been used, the function checks that the entered data matches this mask.
    If a custom mask with an InputMask variable is used, the verification is performed by executing the procedure associated with the CheckIfValidInput property of this mask.
  • Non-editable Combo Box: if the required input option has been enabled (or the MandatoryInput property is set to True), checks that a value has been selected in the Combo Box.
  • Edit control: if the required input option has been enabled (or the MandatoryInput property is set to True), checks that a value has been entered or selected in the control.
    If an input mask has been used, the function checks that the entered data matches this mask. If a custom mask with an InputMask variable is used, the verification is performed by executing the procedure associated with the CheckIfValidInput property of this mask.
Only active and visible controls are checked.

Miscellaneous

  • To highlight errors in controls that require data input/contain invalid data, use InvalidInputDetect or InvalidInputShowMessage.
  • Special case: Edit control or editable Combo Box control with an input mask customized via an InputMask variable.
    If the control does not have focus when InvalidInputListControl is called, the text displayed in the control will first be formatted with the FormatOnEntry property of the mask before checking its validity.
