Validate form fields from InfoPath custom code
- by Alex Angas
I'm developing an InfoPath form for Forms Services. It has these views:
View 1 asks the user to input some basic initial data
View 2 calls a web service based on data in View 1 and populates drop-downs accordingly
At the bottom of View 1 I've added a Next > button to move to View 2. As part of clicking that button I would like the inputs in View 1 to be validated first. However, there don't appear to be any rules that validate a view or anything in the object model to execute validation rules.
Is there code that can trigger a field's validation event?
