Return value of a Method Call Validator

I have been trapped on this more than one time.  In order for a method call validator to work, the return value has to be bigger than 5.  This is clearly state in the WinStudio document: “If the method returns a value less than 5, WinStudio passes the validation. Otherwise, WinStudio fails the validation. The values 1 through 4 are used for warnings.”

All the standard Syteline Validators are using return value 1, so you would naturally copy that logic, and have it kept pumping on your face.  The value 1 through 4 are reserved for system use.  For customization developer like you and me, we have to be taller than 5.

Today I have waste two hours on this.  I knew it can not be 1, because I was trapped on this about a year ago.  But I forgot what the exact value benchmark is.  I was putting a value 4 on it.  And keep searching other area for error.  Finally I checked back into the document and found out again the magic number 5.  What a fool.
