Omnis Studio

[Martin Obongita]

 Dear Phil,
I have a remote form with a superclass for the class.In the main form I have some entry fields.In the superclass remote form I have an update button

I wanted to capture any empty entries and highlight the field in red when the update button is clicked on.
 
Do $cinst.$objs.securityCode.$forecolor.$assign(kRed)
This line does not change the colour of the field. (animation style).
Regards,Martin.

 Hey Martin,

Just to point out your code snippet is not really showing enough 
information for anyone to help you...

what is $cinst? is it a window with some object on it?

If so, not sure I know an object with a property of $errortext.
and setting the text would not set the colour anyway.

if you have a text field, and set the text, then it will get set to that.

Do $cinst.$objs.securityCode.$text.$assign('Missing security code')

then you might additionally need to set the colour?

Do $cinst.$objs.securityCode.$forecolor.$assign(kRed)

for example...

This is similar to the notation in O7.


I will just point out, I don't know the sample lib you are using...
