For two InputFields should be only one error message displayed

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have two InputFields of data type time. After the user has entered the times and has pressed the next button, I have to check that the difference is not larger than 5 hours.

If it is larger than 5 hours I want to give <b>one error message</b> in the MessageArea <b>but highlight the two InputFields</b> with red frames.

I used this lines of code, which present two error messages with the same text, which is not nice:

  public void onActionStep2Next(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
  {
    //@@begin onActionStep2Next(ServerEvent)
	long timeFrom = wdContext.currentContextElement().getTimeFrom().getTime();
	long timeTo = wdContext.currentContextElement().getTimeTo().getTime();
	
	long delta = timeTo-timeFrom;
	
	if (delta > (3600000 * 5)){
		IWDMessageManager msg = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
		msg.reportContextAttributeMessage(
                           wdContext.currentContextElement(),
                           wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("TimeFrom"),
                           MessageMain.MAX__REQUESTED__HOURS__ERROR,
                           null,
                           false);

		msg.reportContextAttributeMessage(
                           wdContext.currentContextElement(),
                           wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("TimeTo"),
                           MessageMain.MAX__REQUESTED__HOURS__ERROR,
                           null,
                           false);

				
	} else { ... }

Do you have a way to solve this? Thank you.

Regards,

Marcus

Hi,

You cannot have only one message displayed for two context attributes.

Even if you pass an empty message to the second call, the framework will show something like "message.<Key>" (I think).

Yes, I tried it with an empty message. In MessageArea the error symbol appeared with no text behind it.

Thank you, Satyajit

Hi Marcus,

Try this one. It will give you empty error symbol, but no text for it.

msg.raiseInvalidContextAttributeException(wdContext.currentContextElement(),

wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("validTo"),"",true);

Hi Sridhar,

sorry, no success. In the MessageArea the error symbol is still shown with empty text behind.

Thanks for the idea,

Regards,

Marcus
