About Control object
The Control object allows you to work with the edit controls. Control object is available in the JavaScript OnLoad event of the appropriate page.
Before you start working with the edit controls, you need to get those controls.
Use the getControl() method to get the controls by the field name and page ID:
Syntax
var ctrl = Runner.getControl(pageid, fieldname);
Example
var ctrl = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'Make');
controls.ControlManager.getAt(tableName)
To get all the controls of the table, you need to pass only the table name as the argument:
Syntax
var ctrlArr = Runner.controls.ControlManager.getAt(tableName);
Example
// Get all the controls for the 'Cars' table
var recCtrlsArr = Runner.controls.ControlManager.getAt('Cars');
// loop through all controls on the page making them all required
for(var i=0;i<recCtrlsArr.length;i++)
{
var ctrl = recCtrlsArr[i];
ctrl.addValidation("IsRequired");
}
