BaseEdit.InvalidValueBehavior Property

Gets or sets a value that specifies the editor’s response to an invalid value. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Editors

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Core.v19.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public InvalidValueBehavior InvalidValueBehavior { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property InvalidValueBehavior As InvalidValueBehavior

Property Value

Type	Description
InvalidValueBehavior	One of the InvalidValueBehavior enumeration values.

Available values:

Name	Description
AllowLeaveEditor	This mode allows you to switch to another editor, and re-enter a value for this editor later.
WaitForValidValue	This mode locks the entire application until a correct value is entered.

Remarks

If the InvalidValueBehavior property is set to InvalidValueBehavior.AllowLeaveEditor, an end-user can switch to another editor, and re-enter a value for this editor later. Setting the InvalidValueBehavior property to InvalidValueBehavior.WaitForValidValue locks the entire application until a correct value is entered. The InvalidValueBehavior property works only if an internal editor’s validation fails.

If an editor is used in-place within a container control (e.g., GridControl), setting the InvalidValueBehavior property has no effect.
