Input validation

[lkhoney2003]

How can we validate the Input taken by a panel (dialog box).

It depends on what type of validation you need!

I would like to take input on a custom panel (dialog box) and want to show the next dialog box based on the input.
Please suggest how to control this. 😮

Again it depends on the verification type you might need to do: in some cases custom code is not needed, you can use built in IA actions.

I want to take input for port which will be used to launch the application and I want to show error in case user inputs a -ve or >9999 or non-numeric value.

Also I think if I add a validation message after the panel then what is the process to show my last panel in case of wrong input. I mean do we have any goto type control which anybody can use to go to previous screen.

I think that somewhere on this forums someone posted a regexp for checking if the input is a valid port (or it was on the old forums, unfortunately they're down now). If not, as I said, you can use custom code to check that value.

Thanks for the pointer.
I will try to find that post.
