Specify when validation occurs

You can set the point at which validation occurs—when the user clicks outside the widget, as the user types, or when the user tries to submit the form.

  1. Select a Validation Text Area widget in the Document window.
  2. In the Property inspector (Window > Properties), select the Validate On option that indicates when you want validation to occur. You can select all of the options or none of them.

    Validates whenever the user clicks outside the text field.

    Change
    Validates as the user changes text inside the text field.

    Submit
    Validates when the user tries to submit the form.
