Public Property HintLocation As ValidationHintLocation?

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Nullable<ValidationHintLocation>	null	A ValidationHintLocation enumeration value that specifies the relative hint position.

Available values:

Name	Description
Default	A default location. This value is equal to ValidationHintLocation.Bottom.
Left	The hint will be displayed to the target UI element’s left.
Top	The hint will be displayed above the target UI element.
Bottom	The hint will be displayed below the target UI element.
Right	The hint will be displayed to the target UI element’s right.

Remarks

A ValidationHint object can display apply two visual effects for its target UI element:

• a colorized border around the UI element (see the ValidationHintBaseDefaultProperties.ShowBorder property);
• a hint next to the UI element (see the ValidationHintBaseDefaultProperties.ShowHint property).

This hint can display both a text string and an image specific to the current UI element’s validation state. To set the relative position of this hint, use the HintLocation property. This property overrides a global ValidationHintBaseProperties.HintLocation property, accessed through the parent manager’s AdornerUIManager.ValidationHintProperties group.
