I am using the message queue to set messages on some fields.
Now I need to use it also in a Web List, in particular I want to set these messages on a column cell depending on the input (using it to provide explanations if the input check fails).
At present, message handling doesn't support assignment to a list cell. It will likely be made available when we fully address contextual messages and allow OAM generated messages to be assigned to fields.
In the meantime, try using a reusable part for the columns that need to show errors. You could publish the edit/field as a property. This would give you access to the control so that the error could be assigned directly to it.
So, in the reusable part you'd have something like
Your last reply has confused me a little. You'd only need to do this for those fields that you want to edit in a list cell, and I would hope that would be very few. There are of course exceptions to the rule, but in general, editing data in a "grid" is not particularly user friendly.
Can you tell me a little more about the style of application that you're building please.
Now I am trying to avoid as much as possible editing directly on the list.
In this way I can use one or more views containing my fields in which use the message queue.
