Property Value
| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Display | Static | One of the Display enumeration values. |
Available values:
| Name | Description |

|
| None | No error message is displayed. |

Remarks
Use the Display property to control the manner in which the error message is displayed along the editor. Settings this property value to None hides the error message. The other values of this property affect the layout differently, depending on the ValidationSettings.ErrorDisplayMode property value.
If the ValidationSettings.ErrorDisplayMode is set to None (the error frame mode), the Display property controls the way in which the error frame is displayed around the editor.
- In Dynamic mode, the frame is displayed at the editor’s position, shifting the editor itself.
- In Static mode, the error frame is displayed around the editor, preserving its position.
- In all other cases (when the ValidationSettings.ErrorDisplayMode property is set to ImageWithText, ImageWithTooltip or Text), the Display property value doesn’t affect the actual layout. The only difference is that in Static mode, a space for the error message is initially rendered along with the editor, while in Dynamic mode it is generated dynamically when necessary.
Note
When a grid-based control is in Batch Edit mode, set the Display property to Dynamic, so as not to render the empty space (the validation error element) near the edit cell.
