Flex :: ErrorSkin On Spark TextInput Validation?
Mar 14, 2011
I might be taking crazy pills but has anyone actually gotten the errorSkin feature to work? I am not doing anything crazy, just extending TextInput (spark) and setting the errorSkin property.I have tried creating a skin using SparkSkin, did nothing.I have tried creating a skin using ProgrammaticSkin, did nothing.TextInput is always a red border. I know you can set errorColor and errorString but I am obviously looking to do more than just change the color of the border. I am compiling using Flex 4.1.
Implimentation:
<components:PromptedTextInput id="txt"
width="200"
[code].....

I've created a custom textInput componenet that handles it's own validation using a private validator. The validation is enabled depending on the state of the component i.e. validation is enable when the components state is "edit".However, when the state changes from edit the internal validator is set to not enabled but the validation errors on the textbox do not clear - the textInput still has the red border and on mouseover the validation errors come up. What I want to happen is that when a validator is disabled the error formatting and error messages clear from the text input control.
Does anyone have any idea how to do this I tried setting the internal validator instance to enabled = false and dispatching a new focusOutEvent as below but the validation error formatting is still applied to the textInput contrl.
_validatorInstance.enabled = false;
//clear the validation errors if any
dispatchEvent(new FocusEvent(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT));

working with Flex4 AIR app, using this component I get data from the barcode reader,
<s:TextInput id="barcode" enter="showBarcode()"/>
Then for handle the enter event, wich is automatically triggered when reader finishes its reading
private function showBarcode():void{
Alert.show(barcode.text);
}
Ok, very simple. But my problem is: the text showed in the Alert Box is incomplete, it misses one or two digits (last) or it just shows the entire text in the TextInput component (correct view)
I already test my BC reader using the notepad, and it's fine.
I have tested same code using MX components in Flex3 web app, and there's no problem.

I have a mobile application that has a Text Input used for searching. Below the search TextInput is a StageWebView. When I set the source of the StageWebView using loadURL() the key input is shifted to the StageWebView. How can I prevent this?

I've got a custom component (quite complex so I can't post any code here, although that shouldn't matter), that I can add to a view. When the component is deleted from the view or the view is switched I call my own dispose method which removes remaining eventListeners and kills some references so that the component can eventually be nulled and collected by the GC.
All that works perfectly fine until I add a Spark TextInput to the MXML part of the component (it took me hours to find out what is preventing the component to be collected!), so I recon that the TextInput somehow automatically adds some eventListeners.
My question is what are these listeners, or is there anything else I haven't thought of?

This is what i have:
Main.mxml:
<fx:Style source="Main.css"/>
<s:TextInput x="72" y="95" focusColor="#CECB02" prompt="E-mail: "
skinClass="components.TextInputSkin"/>
[code]....
So, the "promptDisplay" in a computer(online) that does not have "Acens.ttf" installed shows the predefined one, but the inputed text is showed correctly with the embeded font!

In the AdvancedDataGrid component, when you are in Edit mode in a cell, you can hit the Escape key to cancel editing (i.e. return to the previous value in the cell).I had expected the same behaviour while in Edit mode in both the Halo and Spark TextInput and TextArea components, and was surprised to find out that this is not the case.I looked at the attributes of all four components to see if this is something that I need to configure, but couldn't find anything.

I'm getting the "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." error on my application. Is there a function I can use to detect this before it causes an error... maybe something like:
isValid(variableName);
I know there's one, because i've used it before, but i can't remember what it is right now.

I have a Flex 3 app with a view in a viewstack, and that view must only be created when requested. I have declared validators for each of the controls on the view and I have created a method called checkAllValid() which runs Validator.validateAll(). This works great when I'm actually using the controls (using the change or focusOut events), but how can I get checkAllValid() to run when the view is first displayed to the user, so that they are immediately shown what is invalid once the data is populated in the controls?
I have tried putting the call in various events on the view itself (e.g. creationComplete, updateComplete, show, activate, etc.) but it always shows the following error when I start the application:
'The source attribute must be specified when the property attribute is specified.'
I have also tried setting the creationPolicy on the view to "all" but this does not help.
Some of the validators are only enabled when the form is in a certain state, but I have eliminated that as being the potential problem by commenting out all of my validators except for this most simple one:
[Code]....
I have also tried calling the single validator directly rather than using validateAll and the result is the same.
There must be a way I can force the view to validate when it is shown....
(by the way it's in the Cairngorm MVC framework and I have data bound to the controls)

I'd like to use tooltips with the same design as the error/validation tooltips (rounded box with a tip pointing to the mouse's position).Given the name "error/validation tooltips", it bothers me to use them as normal tooltips.I haven't found people having the same "principles" issue as myself..So, is it that bad to use the error/validation tooltips as normal tooltips? And, if yes, what would be the easiest way to re-use its design without rewriting much code?

The examples I've seen seem to show how to change the color that shows when the user actually hovers over the textinput field.
However when the validation fails, a generic textInput border qill have a red line over it. My CSS file uses a border skin for the textInput, so I can't see this line.
I was hoping there was a way to highlight the text box when it failed validation, or re-enable the red line feature. I don't want to get rid of my CSS cos it'll totally blow my color-scheme, but any tweak allowing the error line
This is the CSS:
TextInput, TextArea
{
border-skin: Embed(source='/../assets/images/input_bg.png', scaleGridLeft=8, scaleGridRight=20, scaleGridTop=8,scaleGridBottom=9);

I'm a new grad, so please be kind. I'm working on validating input in a Flex DataGrid cell that the user can edit. The rows in the DataGrid are backed by an mx.collections.ArrayCollection that includes a [Bindable]Model that I wrote. I want to validate against a custom client-side Validator, if-and-only-if that passes I want to validate the input on the server. If client-side validation fails, I want to display the normal validation error (see image below). If server-side validation fails, I want to use the same sort of UI components to notify the user. The solution should not include any external framework (Cairngorm or PureMVC).
[Code]...
How do Flex programmers validate on the server, immediately after the valid client-side validation passes?
I realize it seems silly to search out this "synchronous" design and I hope someone has an answer to solve my problem with best practices. In my defense, the reason I want to validate on the server immediately following client-side validation is so that I'm using Flex's validation framework. If I get an invalid response from the server, I want to leverage the built-in UI components that Flex has to tell the user something is incorrect about his/her input.

I have text input boxes. There is validation for each of the boxes using numberValidator. Now, the thing is that am using alert box to show if any error occurs.
Flowchart ::
1> Insert value in textBox.
2> NumberValidator validates the input on "trigger=change".
3> If error, alert message is displayed. The user clicks OK to go back to form.
4> Focus set back to the TextBox.
5> But, alert box makes the text input value blank / null. i.e. Both the previous error value entered by user and the default correct value will not be displayed now.
Display the most recent correct value that was entered in the text box. Not the default of any other, but the most recent correct value entered by the user.

When a Validator (i.e. StringValidator, NumberValidator, etc) dispatches an invalid event due to validation failure, the errorString property of the source control (i.e. TextInput) is set to a non-empty string which creates a red border around the control and shows an toolTip (errorTip) ONLY when the mouse hovers over the control. Question: Can you force immediate display of the toolTip (errorTip) rather than waiting for the user to hover over the control? If so, how?

Reproduce problem:
run code
click checkbox
click on the first input box
enter: 100
The red glowing error box should have disappeared, but it will disappear when you focus on another component e.g. the second input box. If you refersh the screen, click the checkbox, and TAB onto the first input box, type 100, the error glow will disappear as I expected. This is what I want for click also.
