Peter De Bruycker commented on RCP-488:
---------------------------------------

so now you can do the following:

<snip>
...
dia.setInputConstraint(new Constraint() {
    public boolean test(Object argument) {
                final String name = (String) argument;
                boolean found = ... check if the name already exist
                if (found) {
                    dia.setMessage(new DefaultMessage("not unique", Severity.ERROR));
                }
                return !found;
    }
});
...
</snip>

> I'm trying to use the InputApplicationDialog and I think that a private method should be made public: getValidationReporter().
> Some basic rules are created for string length for instance but I would like to validate the input once the user tries to press enter (e.g. check the DB/Server).
> I wanted to use the setInputConstraint(Constraint c) and it works fine, the server detects a duplicate and returns false so the dialog cannot be closed via OK, however how could I notify the user in the error reporting area?
> If the method getValidationReporter() was public, one could simply do it like this:
> final InputApplicationDialog dia = new InputApplicationDialog(nameModel, "name");
> dia.setTitle(getMessage("xxxx.title"));
> dia.setInputLabelMessage("Enter a query name");
> dia.setInputConstraint(new Constraint() {
>     public boolean test(Object argument) {
>                 final String name = (String) argument;
>                 boolean found = ... check if the name already exist
>                 if (found) {
>                     dia.getValidationReporter().setMessage(
>                                     new DefaultMessage("not unique", Severity.ERROR));
>                 }
>                 return !found;
>     }
> });
> dia.showDialog();
>  
> So, may I suggest that this method is made public?
> Of course, there may be a better way... could someone enlighten me?
> Thanks
