| Nullable<ValidationHintLocation> | null | A ValidationHintLocation enumeration value that specifies the relative hint position. |
Available values:

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.
See the Adorner UI Manager article to learn more.
