Set this property to false to prevent the edit control from validating its contents when the control loses the focus.
| Caution: Be careful when setting this property to false, because data validation is turned off and invalid data is then allowed in the control. In this case, the invalid color and option settings specified by the InvalidColor and InvalidOption properties have no effect. |
What makes a character valid depends on the control and its property settings.
If the CanValidate property is set to true and a control contains an invalid character or a value otherwise considered invalid when it loses the focus, an InvalidData event occurs, the control displays the color specified by the InvalidColor property, and it displays the invalid data as specified by the InvalidOption property. The control does not format the invalid value. If the value is valid, the control formats it, adding the defined symbols, such as a currency symbol, as specified by the related property settings.
Controls can also validate data as it is provided to the control. The UserEntry property specifies whether the control either blocks invalid characters from being provided to the control or lets the user or code provide any value. If the UserEntry property is set to UserEntry.Formatted, the control validates every character when it is provided to the control. The control blocks any character that does not fit its criteria for valid characters, and a UserError event occurs.
