ProcessNewValueEventArgs.PostponedValidation Property

Gets or sets whether to postpone edit value validation.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Editors

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Core.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Core

Declaration

public bool PostponedValidation { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Description
Boolean

true to postpone edit value validation; otherwise, false.

Remarks

When an end-user presses the Enter key or moves focus to another control, and the editor cannot find an item that matches the text entered by an end-user within the edit box (ProcessNewValueEventArgs.DisplayText), the LookUpEditBase.ProcessNewValue event occurs. Handle this event, to manually validate a new value, and if required, add the corresponding record to a data source.

If you want to show a floating container, allowing an end-user to specify other values for a new record, set the event parameter’s PostponedValidation property to true. In this case, a new value will be validated after a floating container is closed.
