[Osama1818]

HI guys,

I need ur help as I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.2 in desiging an offline eform that takes data from user and insert it in a DB using a WSDL of web service in the server . I had now the button that execute the web service method whose parameters are binded to some fields ,But I need to validate those field in time of submittion?

So I tried To write the validation script in the preExec event handler but if that right I need to know how to cancel execution event from preExec?

And if it not right Please help me in another way

Thank You.

To cancel the event (the submit in this case) you woudl use xfa.event.cancelAction = true;

This was added in version 8 I believe so if you are using a Reader/Acrobat earlier than that this will not work.

You could have your real submit button hidden and expose a regular button to the user for submission. This woudl allow you to write code on the regular button to check your validations and if they work out then you woudl hit the submit button programmatically:

buttonName.execEvent("click")

Hope that helps
