Is there a way to make AB flag an invalid option when there really is not one? Also, it might be a useful tool to add pop up messages to users in a future version of AB. That way they would have to look at the notes that you deem very important to read. Maybe make them click OK to clear the pop up. Just and ideal Rob.


Thanks,

Keith

You can flag a pop-up when new rosters are created, or you can
specify messages on every printout for a certain race...
Check the info: race attribute

If you use an Augment rule to augment the xx race, you can apply one
info: attribute to all races...
If you have special information that you think should be popped up
before the user chooses a race, you can use the lnch: race attribute.

Is that why you want to flag a validation message? These two
mechanisms may be what you're really after.

Cheers,
Russell

Hmm, fair enough - you wont get that with the current version of AB.
You could insert an option that immediately flags a validation error
as soon as the unit is added to the roster. The user then has to
unselect (or select depending on how you want it setup) the option
to indicate they have read the "pop-up".

You could do this with a type: option attribute and a tloc: unit
attribute like this...
Option:
id=oFlagErr name="Warning Message" attributes=type:FlagError

Unit:
link to oFlagErr=free
internal attributes=dflt:oFlagErr
external attributes=tloc:is=FlagError-msg=feMsgId

Messgae:
id=feMsgId text="You should really know xyz about the unit you have
just selected, unselect the Warning Message option for ^u to clear
this message"

Or you could switch it around so the option is not selected by
default (remove the dflt: attribute) and change the tloc to be "not"
instead of "is".
Just an option :-)

Cheers,
Russell

Thanks for all the help. You've given me a few things to try out.


Thanks,
