Example: Object Validation
This example demonstrates how you can perform validations of all fields by using the CanPost
event procedure. For example, this code segment ensures that a user cannot reject a defect without adding a comment.
In this example, a user may not post a defect where the defect status (BG_STATUS) has been changed to Rejected
unless some explanatory text has been typed in the R&D Comment field (BG_DEV_COMMENTS).
Add the code to the Bug_CanPost
event procedure so that the check is performed when the user attempts to submit the defect.
Function Bug_CanPost ' Initialize the function's return value ' to avoid unpredictable behavior. Bug_CanPost = False On Error Resume Next If Bug_Fields("BG_STATUS").IsModified and _ Bug_Fields("BG_STATUS").Value = "Rejected" and _ not Bug_Fields("BG_DEV_COMMENTS").IsModified then Bug_CanPost = False msgbox "You must enter a comment when rejecting a defect." Else Bug_CanPost = True End If PrintError "Bug_CanPost" On Error GoTo 0 End Function
