LOTUSSCRIPT/COM/OLE CLASSES

Examples: IsValidDate property
This exiting script checks the string testdate which the user entered in the Date/Time field dtField. Testdate is used to create the new NotesDateTime object dt. The date is automatically converted to the string found in dt.LocalTime. If it is not a valid date, a message box tells the user to enter a new date.

Sub Exiting(Source As Field)
 Dim workspace As New NotesUIWorkspace
 Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument
 Dim testdate As String
 Set uidoc = workspace.CurrentDocument
 testdate = uidoc.FieldGetText ( "dtField")
 Dim dt As New NotesDateTime(testdate)
 If Not dt.IsValidDate Then
   Messagebox "Please enter a new date." , , "Invalid date"
   Call uidoc.GotoField ( "dtField")
 End If
End Sub
