These flags specify the behavior of the media locator.
| Constant | Value | Description |
| SFN_VALIDATEF_CHECK | 0x01 | Check the validity of file names. You must set this flag to validate file names. If not, the other flags have no effect. |
| SFN_VALIDATEF_POPUP | 0x02 | If a file is not located, display an Open File dialog box for the end user. |
| SFN_VALIDATEF_TELLME | 0x04 | If a missing file is located, briefly display a message box with the name and location of the file. This flag is mostly useful for testing purposes; the message box is probably not suitable for a retail product. |
| SFN_VALIDATEF_REPLACE | 0x08 | If a missing file is located, update the name of the source object. (Only valid in the IAMTimeline::ValidateSourceNames method.) |
| SFN_VALIDATEF_USELOCAL | 0x10 | Always use a local file, even if a version of the file exists on the network. |
| SFN_VALIDATEF_NOFIND | 0x20 | Do not search for missing files. File names are still validated if you set the SFN_VALIDATEF_CHECK flag. |
| SFN_VALIDATEF_IGNOREMUTED | 0x40 | Ignore muted source objects. (Only valid in the IAMTimeline::ValidateSourceNames method.) |
