Re: [Springframework-rcp-dev] Optional error validation overlay

[Peter De B. <pet...@gm...>]

Andy,

Just to make sure we're on the same track:

1. there are some custom components that you want exclude from the overlay
mechanism
2. there are certain (type of) constraints that you always want to exclude
from the overlay mechanism -> do you still want the error message to show at
the top of the dialog??

That would be difficult. The validation message is just that: a message.
