ValidateCell (windowRef, listRef, rowNum, columnNum, cellValueString)

A script handler you can implement to override standard MoneyWorks behaviour.

Automatically called:  When a cell in an editable list (such as the detail line entry list) is about to be exitted. Row and column numbers are zero-based. Return 0 if the cell value is not acceptable: this will keep the focus in the cell. IMPORTANT: If you do this you should provide an explanation to the user via an alert or coachtip. Users will be very unhappy if they don't know why they can't exit a cell!

Use for:  Validating the content of a cell.

Return value:  Boolean

Specific Naming You can and should implement an ValidateCell handler that is specific to the particular window ID, itemID and possible column name of interest. e.g. ValidateCell:<WindowId>:ListItemID:ColumnName.
