validation controls...usel ess when form has multiple buttons?

D
Most of my web forms have multiple buttons (Proceed, Back, link buttons for
various screens, etc.)

It looks like, say a required field validator for example, gives me an error
message no matter which button is pushed. Well, the user simply wants to
navigate to a different screen without filling out the form.

So is there a way to tie validation controls to specific buttons?

Thank you to Yang (Is that your first name?) and Andy for your suggestions. I am 99% of the way there but now cannot get the "Reset" button to work. I have included the whole of my code and would appreciate it if someone could explain where I am going wrong. TIA Roger

I am developing a web application that utilises multiple grids, panels, validation controls etc on the same page. I have added the appropriate code to pop up dialogs to confirm delete in datagrids using the ItemCreated event, template colums and the Button.Attributes.Add ("onclick", "return confirm('Are you sure you wish to delete this row?');"). This works fine in some instances when you click on the delete button but not always.

Hi there, I have a problem related with validation of a container control, containing other container controls.

Hi, I want to have confirmation(Yes/No) on a button of the webform in which there are many validation controls. I want all the validation controls to be triggered first and then Yes/No confirmation message. By adding just an confirm attribute for 'onclick' event of the button doesn't work with validation controls. Is there any short way to go around this. Thanks Nedu

Hi, I have a validation control in my page that upon any invalid data, it disables all buttons in the page. basicly i don't have any postback in the page if the validator finds any error. How can have the validator just disable certain control's postback and other part of page continue their functionality. Thanks,

Source code attached indicates my problem with validation and a button bar save button. Fill the Textbox with some text then tab off the control. The message box will display the text in the textbox from the Validating event. Now put the focus back on the textbox click the button bar button. Nothing happens. The form causes validation is true, so is the button bar and the control.

VB v7.1.3088 NET v1.1.4322 SP1 My mate has a strange problem regarding the ESC key and validation. When he hits the Cancel button on his form, the form does not validate. This is correct behaviour of course. However, he also wants this same behaviour when hitting ESC on the keyboard. It was my understanding that when you assign a button to a form's CancelButton property you automatically gained this functionality. However,

I have a form which contains two different groupings of controls and buttons. If it were asp I would post to separate processing pages. My code works fine except for the validation. I need to disable the validation for some controls depending on which button is pressed. The grouping of controls are in placeholders. It would be nice to say ignore the validation for placeholder1 when button x is pressed. How do I do this this. Regards, Chris.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
