Hi

Thanks For ur reply...

I agree with your suggestion but if date is prevoius or future means it give madatory....

If i remove the date and click button,

It will produce mandatory like red color...

for ex:

you sugessted like

07/12/2007 -->past date or future date it will give mandatory

but i want

07/12/2007 -->there is date

I remove the date

then i go click button i will gine mandatory..(if field is blank)

Is it possible.....

Thanks & regards

Hi,

In the Simple Input From check out the validation done for <i>Name</i> field.

it checks for null or no input.Same way do it for your date field.

Hi Mathi,

Check whether the condition is executing by printing some custom message

For ex:-

if (theDate.before(currentDate))

{

wdComponentAPI().getMessageManager().reportWarning("Date is befor current Date");

}

Also, are u using datefield inside a table? If not, make the cardinality of DateFields node to 1.1

Hi,

For your mandatory check of the date input,in the action

if(wdContext.currentContextElement().getDate()==null)

{

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Date is null",false);

}

Date is a value attribute of type Date under the context.

Hi,

I want to know one thing....

Is mandatory applicable for date field..or not(if blank)

Please tel me.....

Hi Mathi,

Nobody here is able to understand what you need ?

What is requirement if you can explain properly elaborately may be we can help you ?

<b>Is mandatory applicable for date field..or not(if blank)</b>

What do you mean by that ?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Hi,

Very Sorry That means like red color mandatory...

is there any possibilities,if the date field is null it will be come as mandatory....

ok very thanks......

Hi,

You can get the Mandatory Red color asterik sign.

Create a inputfield and a label.Set the labeFor property of label to the inputField.

Create a context attribute "state" of type "com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.State" and map to the state property of the InputField.

Now in your action when the date field is null

if(wdContext.currentContextElement().getDate()==null)

{

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Date is null",true);

wdContext.currentContextElement().setState(WDState.REQUIRED);

}

And if you want the outline of the InputField to be red as in the tutorial then you have to use

reportContetxAttributeMessage method of the Message Manager as explained in the Tutorial.

Hope this will solve your problem.

Hi Mathi S,

Its very simple. Suppose you have a Label and a Input field control. In "property" of this Inputfield there is a property "state". Just change this property from "Normal" to "Required". Now see the property of Label Control. There there is a option called "Label for". Just Map there the name of this InputField. When you deploy this it will show Red colored asterik infront of Inoutfield as a sign of Mandatory. also it will throw error when u letf that field blank.
