Re: [evolution-patches] Patch for integrating exchange x-c-s with mailer.

["Sushma Rai" <rsushma novell com>]

Hi Michael,

I think I can not do that from page validate 
function. Right now I am using page check
plugin and also listen on page next
signals to do this. But getting the 
required values from connector is the problem.

I discussed the issue with JP on IRC and 
he suggested to move the plugin into connector.
Also to commit that API temporarily, and then 
remove it once the plugin is moved out.
As, moving the plugin into exchange connector
needs some header files to be public.

Yes, we can discuss about it once you see the 
code, if I can handle it using validate page
function.

Thanks,
Sushma.

Hi Sushma,

Can you just use the validate page function to do this?  It will get
called whenever a value changes.  If you have an incomplete uri or if
the user hasn't pressed some button to activate it, then this will cause
the 'next' button to be greyed out.  There shouldn't be any need to add
any other special api to be able to listen to this from the plugin?

(i only just saw your message on irc, and haven't checked the code yet,
so take above with a grain of salt - i'll have a proper look in the
morning).

Regards,
 Michael
