Wizard prevent next step [message #991811]

Hi,

I have a wizard with multiple steps (every step with its own form). I want the user only to be able to go to the next step if he has filled in a particular field on a form. How to do that.

Regards Bertin

Set "getConfiguredMandatory()" of that field to "true". Then, when the form is stored in the execDeactivate() method of your step, the form is validated automatically and a message is shown to the user. Technically, a VetoException is thrown which stops the wizard from advancing one step.

If you do not want to store the form (yet), as I assume by your last question, call the validation manually:

  @Override
  protected void execDeactivate(int stepKind) throws ProcessingException {
    if (stepKind == IWizardStep.STEP_NEXT) {
      getForm().validateForm(); // may throw a VetoException
    }
  }
