Customising Forms

netbug

Dear all,

I would like to know if, on a form, it is possible to verify the information entered in a text box as the user is writing ?

Eg.

I have a text box (I am sorry if this is not the name in SKILL) that asks the user to enter the directory where he wants to save the files. I would like to check that the directory is valid without waiting for the user to press the "OK" button.

I would like as well to know, if it is possible to customise the buttons on a form and force the buttons to use my own functions?

Thanks in advance,

José

    Have you tried the function ddsFileBrowseCB.

    The function pops up a file browser fro you to select a file.

    Ex how I use

    hiCreateFormButton(
            ?name 'browseBtn
            ?buttonText "Browse..."
            ?callback "ddsFileBrowseCB( hiGetCurrentForm() 'cdlPath)")
