You can create a validator that compares string values.
A validation error occurs if the value does not match the specified conditions. You can also create an action, such as displaying an icon in the cell, that lets the user know the value is invalid.
Use the CompareStringValidator class to create the string validator. Specify a notification type such as IconNotify. Then use the AddValidators method to add the validator to a cell range.
The following image displays an error icon with a text tip.
The following example displays an icon if you type a string that does not contain "Test".
