Code block for data validation

Attribute: EXPORTED
Data type: Code block | NIL
Description

The instance variable :validate contains an optional code block for data validation. self is passed to this code block. It must return a logical value indicating whether the data in the edit buffer is valid (.T.) or invalid (.F.).

Within the validation code block, the method :editBuffer() must be used to read the current value in the edit buffer of the Xbase Part. The method :getData() cannot be used at this point, since this method also performs an assignment via :dataLink. If :getData() is used and the validation fails, invalid data will be improperly assigned.
