                            </ext:Button>

Answer 1

There is a few options.

1. You can return false from a DirectEvent's Before handler or from the same Listener.

   protected void Submit(object sender, DirectEventArgs e) { X.Msg.Alert("Submit", "Submitted").Show(); }

   Ext.NET v2 Example

       <ext:FormPanel ID="FormPanel1" runat="server">
           <Items>
               <ext:TextField runat="server" AllowBlank="false" />
           </Items>
       </ext:FormPanel>
   
       <ext:Button runat="server" Text="Submit">
           <%--<Listeners>
               <Click Handler="return false;" /> it has the same effect as returning false from a DirectEvent's Before.
           </Listeners>--%>
           <DirectEvents>
               <Click OnEvent="Submit" Before="return App.FormPanel1.isValid();" />
           </DirectEvents>
       </ext:Button>
   </form>
   

2. Another approach is using FormBind. It automatically disables a component if a FormPanel is invalid. A component should belong to a FormPanel.

   protected void Submit(object sender, DirectEventArgs e) { X.Msg.Alert("Submit", "Submitted").Show(); }

   Ext.NET v2 Example

       <ext:FormPanel ID="FormPanel1" runat="server" Width="200">
           <Items>
               <ext:TextField runat="server" AllowBlank="false" />
           </Items>
           <Buttons>
               <ext:Button runat="server" Text="Submit" FormBind="true">
                   <DirectEvents>
                       <Click OnEvent="Submit" />
                   </DirectEvents>
               </ext:Button>
           </Buttons>
       </ext:FormPanel>
   </form>
   

3. You can listen a FormPanel's ValidityChange event to apply some custom actions.
