Prevent Validation from Triggering Automatically

[mboyleMember]

Hello,
Is there a way to specify the validation rules in such a way that they will ONLY trigger the validation rules when the $(‘#MyJqxValidator’).validate() function is explicitly called (i.e. prevent the validation rules from triggering via DOM events)? I tried setting the action property of the rule to null/blank, but it appears the action trigger will default to blur if no action is specified.

Thank you.

Hi mboyle,

A possible solution would be to use custom validation rules defined as callback functions as the one for the Date validation in our demo. Then you may validate the fields depending on some custom Boolean flag defined outside the functions and used inside the validation functions. If the flag’s value is true, then implement your validation logic, if it is false, then always return true. Set the boolean flag before calling the “validate” function.

Best Regards,
