Hi,
I am wondering if it is possible to stop accepting a Dialog. Before saving the data I would like to check them and if there is an error I want to stay on the Dialog page. The documentation tells me that onDone is executed before onAccepted but how do I manage to stay on the page?
Thanks

Okay I figured it out. The canAccept is the right tool but I had placed it wrong. I am not sure what the onDone feature was planned for but it is no help in checking the user input. To make sure the user can only accept a Dialog the canAccept needs to be placed right in the Dialog element and be connected to your check routine.
Dialog { id: userInput canAccept: checkFunctionBool() || inputFiel.text != "" ... }

One way to do it is use onDone (called before onAccepted or onRejected), validate input and set canAccept property accordingly.

What I did is setting canAccept = false when my check logic returns an error. I guessed that is the way to do it. Is there another way?

Atleast usable with validator checks in TextField (acceptableInput)
