MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / June 2005How can verify if the InfoPath form is valid before saving it.
Hi I have created an event handler to capture the save button, and redirect it to save using custom code. When I try to save an invalid document, I have a dialog box that is warning me that some of the values are not valid, this is nice, but the problem is that this box has a yes and no buttons "This form contains validation errors, errors are marked with wither a red asterisk (required fields) or a red, dashed border (invalid values)." And if the user presses yes, the form will save the invalid values The question is how I can find out if there are any invalid values in the form before saving. (Marked invalid by the InfoPath validation itself) Thanks fiund this one too :-) XDocument.Errors.Count > 0 Hi I have created an event handler to capture the save button, and redirect it to save using custom code.

(Marked invalid by the InfoPath validation itself) Thanks Im sure by now you have the answer, but for anyone else who has this question: thisXDocument.Errors.Count > 0, then you have errors. > fiund this one too :-) > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Thanks Ok, here is my problem with this: Before the custom save handler is envoked, this Yes / No dialog box described below is invoked. I need to learn how to avoid this. We have a scenario where the form overall may have errors, but we only care about certain views which are applicable only under certain conditions. So basically, is there any way to turn off this validation warning which shows up prior to the actual save handler? > Im sure by now you have the answer, but for anyone else who has this question: > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > > > Thanks Simply modify all your validation expressions to include another variable: (your expression) AND doCheck = 1 Then, when in your Save handler, set doCheck to 1 - this will cause all validations to happen. Good luck, Alex @ Microsoft > Ok, here is my problem with this: > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] >> > >> > Thanks Alex- This will not work. As I had stated, the problem lies in the fact that Yes/No happens BEFORE the save handler. I need to find a way to disable this message, then use whatever code I need in the handler. Thanks, Nick > Simply modify all your validation expressions to include another variable: > [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] > >> > > >> > Thanks Create a button on the bottom of the form that allows the users to save the form. This button will set doCheck = 1 and then look at XDocument.Errors.Count. If it is = 0, it will call XDocument.Save(). Good luck.
