Mandatory Indicator

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a tabstrip and one of the tab has some mandatory data to be filled in. I want to move between different tabs even if the mandatory field is not filled, but want an indicator on the tab to show mandatory filed is missing.

Any suggestion how to acheive this?

Thanks in advance..

Hi Sameer,

Whenever the field is initial, just give an information message to the user.This would allow the user to navigate to different fields as well as give an indication to him that the field is not filled.

Give an error message only when the complete processing is finished with regards to all the tabs.

An example of this scenario could be to fire an error message when the field is initial & user presses SAVE button. In all other cases, an information message would be shown.

Thanks for your reply Chetan.

I would like to display a Indicator(red) on the tab...which suggests that the data needs to be filled..before saving.

That's one of the requirements.

You have any idea on how to display the indicator on the tab?

Hi Chetan,

The solution u gave is good..but with that I have requirement to display the indicator on the tab heading(Red light kind of a thing, next to name of the indicator).

I would like to know how to display the indicator..i will trigger it as soon as the user moves to other tabs..without entering the mandatory data.

Hi Sammer,

Well while defining the tabstrip,assign a icon icon_led_red to the tabstrip. Activate this icon when the user moves to the other tabs.

Am not very sure whether this works or not.
