Adding Format Custom Checks

1.Add a column changed event (if missing) in AddDataHandlers method.

Public OverridesSub *AddDataHandlers(**ByRefEfd* As *EarthSoft.EDP.**EddFormatDefinition)*

AddHandler Efd.Tables.Item(**"Subfacility_v1").ColumnChanged,AddressOf Me. CheckSubfacility*

End Sub

Private SubCheckSubfacility(*ByVal **sender As Object*,* ByVal e As{*}System.Data.**DataColumnChangeEventArgs)*

End Sub

2.Create a custom check that will add or remove the error/warning.

''' <summary> if accessyn = y then ReasonforNonAccess must be empty. If accessYN ='N' then ReasonForNonAcess must be populated.

''' Applies to:

''' <list type="bullet">

''' <item>Subfacility_v1.ReasonForNonAccess</item>

''' <item>Subfacility_v1.Accessyn</item>

''' </list>

''' </summary>

Private Sub ERR06(ByVal e As System.Data.DataColumnChangeEventArgs)

With e.Row

If .Item("accessyn").ToString.ToUpper = "Y" AndAlsoNot .IsNull("ReasonForNonAccess")Then

Me.AddError(e.Row, e.Row.Table.Columns.Item("ReasonForNonAccess"),EddErrors.CustomError16)

ElseIf.Item("accessyn").ToString.ToUpper = "N" AndAlso.IsNull("ReasonForNonAccess") Then

Me.AddError(e.Row, e.Row.Table.Columns.Item("ReasonForNonAccess"),EddErrors.CustomError16)

Else

Me.RemoveError(e.Row, e.Row.Table.Columns.Item("ReasonForNonAccess"),EddErrors.CustomError16)

End If

End With

End Sub

3.Add a custom error message (max number of custom messages allowed is 63).

Public Overloads Overrides FunctionErrorMessage(ByVal err AsEddErrors) AsString

Select Case err

Case EddErrors.CustomError16

Return"If accessYN = y then ReasonforNonAccess must be empty. If accessYN ='N' then ReasonForNonAcess must be populated."

Case Else

ReturnMyBase.ErrorMessage(err)

End Select
End Function

4.Call the check from the column changed event.

Private SubCheckSubfacility(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e AsSystem.Data.DataColumnChangeEventArgs)

Select Casee.Column.ColumnName.ToLower

Case "accessyn", "reasonfornonaccess"

ERR06(e) 'If accessyn = y then ReasonforNonAccess must be empty. If accessYN ='N' then ReasonForNonAcess must be populated.

End Sub

5.If the error is dependent on more than one column, update the cell to create cell coloring when the error is added or removed in the user interface.

Public OverridesSub Grid_AfterCellUpdate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Object, ByVal edp As Object)

Select CaseCType(e.cell.row.listObject, System.Data.DataRowView).DataView.Table.TableName

Case "Subfacility_v1"

Subfacility_Refresh(sender, e, edp)

End Select

End Sub

Private Sub Subfacility_Refresh(ByValsender As Object,ByVal e As Object, ByVal edp As Object)

Select Case e.Cell.Column.Key.ToLower

Case "accessyn"

edp.AfterCellUpdate(sender, e.Cell.Row.Cells.Item("reasonfornonaccess")) 'ERR06

End Select

End Sub

6.To create a warning instead of an error, add the error to the Err property.

Public OverridesProperty Err() AsEddError

Get

Return MyBase.Err

End Get

Set(ByVal Value As EddError)

Me._Err = Value

Me._Err.SetStatus(EddErrors.CustomError16, EddError.ErrorStatus.Warning)

End Set

End Property
