Interface ClientValidation::isClientValidationValid

Description

In BBj 22.10 and higher, isClientValidationValid returns a boolean value that indicates whether the client validation function, if any, currently reports that this control contains a valid value.

Syntax

Return Value	Method
boolean	isClientValidationValid()

Parameters

None.

Return Value

Returns the boolean result of invoking the client validation function on the current value of the control, or true if the control does not define a client validation function.

Remarks

This incurs a round-trip delay to the client, which eliminates most of the benefit of using client-side validation. It's usually preferable to check BBjLostFocusEvent::isClientValidationValid.

Example

Copy
