FACT(s) (Environment):

Windows

FACT(s) (Environment):

Progress 9.x

SYMPTOM(s):

Using touch screen (no keyboard)

Has button that user can press to reset date field to unknown (?)

User types in an invalid date into a date field and leaves field then validation message pops up

User tries to use button that resets date field to unknown value but validation message continues to pop up

CAUSE:

The validation error continues to appear when the user tries to click the button which resets the date field to the unknown value. This happens because the clicking of the button moves focus from the date field to the button which causes the validation to happen (again and again) to the date field.

FIX:

Change all buttons on the window so that the NO-FOCUS option is turned on. This will allow the buttons to execute their designed behavior without causing focus changes to happen unexpectedly.
