Dear All

I hope all are OK.

I am new to ZK and I want to implement a field validation such that if the value entered in the filed is not valid, an error message should be displayed and the focus is not transferred to the next field e.g. the focus remains on the filed with incorrect value, and what is the best approach to use, constraints or onChanged event. In case if the constraints is advised, how to implement and call custom constraints implemented in a Java class. I have also another issue , I want to implement an edit mask such that the value entered by a user is formatted before the user leaves the field e.g. if the user is submitting an amount,the entered amount should look like this 123,456.789 even if the filed has the focus and the user did not leave the field.

For your information, I have a legacy PowerBuilder financial application which I am trying to migrate to java. The above mentioned issues were easy to implement in PowerBuilder and I am trying to have the same behavior using ZK.

Best regards;
