Control Properties - Validation Tab

This tab is used to define a set of rules used to check the validity of the values of the control and to respond in case of an invalid value. If the user enters a value that is defined here as invalid, the error message defined for that condition and value is displayed.

Use the table of this tab to define a set of conditions corresponding to the appearance of a value and create an error message. Note that the order of the conditions can be important.

Use the buttons at the right of the table as follows:

Button	Description
(Add)	Add a style
(Delete)	Delete the selected style
(Move Up)	Move the selected style up one row in the table
(Move Down)	Move the selected style down on row in the table
