I am trying to manage field validation on a form where the underlying DBC has field rules. I find that the rule fires before the valid method and does not seem to give any opportunity to intercept the error condition. The standard message offers a Revert option but does not refresh the control so the user
has to re-enter the correct data.
Related to this issue. I have tried using a local view for the datasource and calling a fieldvalidate method which uses DBGETPROP calls to fetch the ruleExpression and RuleText for the underlying fields/record. This seems to work OK but I am still trying to determine what type of datasource I have -
Table, Localview or Remoteview. Is there a function call which returns this information for a given alias()?
