Display Error Messages

[ka4niv]

I have an interactive app that needs to display an error message on the error line at the bottom of the screen. I am sure there is a function to do this, but cant seem to find one.

Does anyone have a clue how to do this?

(ps. Tried to post this via email, but didnt to work. Sorry if it duplicated.)

Thanks

Hi Maurice,

Have a look at system function "Set Status Bar Text", grouped under Control. It accepts a DD alias as input which will correspond to your error message.

I believe what you are looking for is the System Function "Set Control
Error".

Hi Maurice,

Use the:
Set Control Error
Clear Control Error
Set Grid Cell Error
Clear Grid Cell Error
System functions from the Control and Grid category.

Another hint: Check the "How to access OneWorld On-Line help" topic on the Tips & Traps board of the Forum. You will find useful after you browsed through the Events and System Function folders in the On-Line help.

Our honorable Listers showed already the main directions.
Allow me to add my Canadian 2¢:
Before you can use an error message, you may need to a) choose or b) define it
That is, you go into the Work with Data Dictionary Items and:
a) click the Glossary Data Item from the Form exit bar, and select whichever you feel it suits the application. Or,
b) click the ADD button, and specify you want a glossary data item.
The rest is pretty obvious.
