javascript - Validate function works on ValidationTextBox but not on FilteringSelect. Why? -

i'm having rather strange behaviour , don't know if it's because i'm not doing right.

i trying customize dojo filteringselect in application show invalid messages @ will. looking @ api, found way it. way works fine validationtextbox.

code switch validation state:

var originalvalidator = textbox.validator; textbox.validator = function() {return false;} textbox.validate();   textbox.validator = originalvalidator;

any suggestions appreciated!

dijit/form/filteringselect indeed inherit dijit/form/validationtextbox, overrides isvalid (source). isvalid calls validator function in validationtexbox.

you compose own filteringselect uses same method validationtextbox uses isvalid, or whatever wanted or needed use.
