ValidationText Property

See Also   Applies To

Sets or returns a value that specifies the text of the message that your application displays if the value of a CdbField object doesn't satisfy the validation rule specified by the ValidationRule property setting (Microsoft Jet workspaces only).

Syntax

VOIDSetValidationText(LPCTSTR pstr );

CStringGetValidationText(VOID);

Parameters

Type Argument Description
LPCTSTR pstr A pointer to a string that contains the text message.

Remarks

For an object not yet appended to a collection, this property is read/write. For a CdbRecordset object, this property setting is read-only. For a CdbTableDef object, this property setting is read-only for a linked table and read/write for a base table.

For a CdbField object, use of the ValidationText property depends on the object that contains the Fields collection to which the CdbField object is appended, as the following table shows.

Object appended to Usage
CdbIndex Not supported
CdbQueryDef Read-only
CdbRecordset Read-only
CdbRelation Not supported
CdbTableDef Read/write
