In a Form i have a 12 Controls. (All Controls should be filled up with some Data) Without entering any text to the controls if the user wants to SAVE, I am showing the ErrorProviders to all my controls. Saying Please Enter the Data. I am showing the Code
public ErrorProvider mProvider;
public void SetError(Control ctl, string text)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(text)) mErrors.Remove(ctl);
else if (!mErrors.Contains(ctl)) mErrors.Add(ctl);
mProvider.SetError(ctl, text);
ctl.Focus();
}
If the Control has Empty data, I am passing control information and Error text to the SetError
Method. I want to set the focus()
to the first Control which Hits this SetError
Method.
On Button Click, I am calling this method
Public void Isinptvlid
{
if (textBox1.Text.Length == 0)
{
obj.SetError(textBox1, "textBox1 cann't be Zero Length");
}
if (textBox2.Text.Length == 0)
{
obj.SetError(textBox2, "textBox2 cann't be Zero Length");
}
if (textBox3.Text.Length == 0)
{
obj.SetError(textBox3, "textBox3 cann't be Zero Length");
}
if (textBox4.Text.Length == 0)
{
obj.SetError(textBox4, "textBox4 cann't be Zero Length");
}
if (textBox5.Text.Length == 0)
{
obj.SetError(textBox5, "textBox5 cann't be Zero Length");
}
if (textBox6.Text.Length == 0)
{
errprvBase.SetError(textBox6, "textBox6 Cann't be Zero Length");
}
if (textBox7.Text.Length == 0)
{
errprvBase.SetError(textBox7, "textBox7 Cann't be Zero Length");
}
}
Can you just set the focus if you are adding the control to the errors list?
public void SetError(Control ctl, string text)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(text))
{
mErrors.Remove(ctl);
}
else if (!mErrors.Contains(ctl))
{
mErrors.Add(ctl);
ctl.Focus();
}
mProvider.SetError(ctl, text);
}
But I think the only way to do this properly is if you can use a boolean flag field that you can set to false
just before you call the method that causes SetError()
to be called repeatedly.
I mean something like this:
private boolean _isFirstError;
And just before you start verifying set _isFirstError = true
and then in SetError()
:
public void SetError(Control ctl, string text)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(text))
{
mErrors.Remove(ctl);
}
else if (!mErrors.Contains(ctl))
{
mErrors.Add(ctl);
if (_isFirstError)
{
_isFirstError = false;
ctl.Focus();
}
}
mProvider.SetError(ctl, text);
}
