Definition

Namespace:
System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:
System.Windows.Forms.dll

Occurs when MaskedTextBox has finished parsing the current value using the ValidatingType property.

public:
 event System::Windows::Forms::TypeValidationEventHandler ^ TypeValidationCompleted;
public event System.Windows.Forms.TypeValidationEventHandler TypeValidationCompleted;
public event System.Windows.Forms.TypeValidationEventHandler? TypeValidationCompleted;
member this.TypeValidationCompleted : System.Windows.Forms.TypeValidationEventHandler 
Public Custom Event TypeValidationCompleted As TypeValidationEventHandler

Event Type

TypeValidationEventHandler

Examples

The following code example attempts to parse the user's input as a valid DateTime object. If it fails, the TypeValidationCompleted event handler displays an error message to the user. If the value is a valid DateTime, the code verifies that the date supplied is not prior to today's date. This code example requires that your Windows Forms project contains a MaskedTextBox control named MaskedTextBox1 and a ToolTip control named ToolTip1.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    maskedTextBox1.Mask = "00/00/0000";
    maskedTextBox1.ValidatingType = typeof(System.DateTime);
    maskedTextBox1.TypeValidationCompleted += new TypeValidationEventHandler(maskedTextBox1_TypeValidationCompleted);
    maskedTextBox1.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(maskedTextBox1_KeyDown);

    toolTip1.IsBalloon = true;
}

void maskedTextBox1_TypeValidationCompleted(object sender, TypeValidationEventArgs e)
{
    if (!e.IsValidInput)
    {
        toolTip1.ToolTipTitle = "Invalid Date";
        toolTip1.Show("The data you supplied must be a valid date in the format mm/dd/yyyy.", maskedTextBox1, 0, -20, 5000);
    }
    else
    {
        //Now that the type has passed basic type validation, enforce more specific type rules.
        DateTime userDate = (DateTime)e.ReturnValue;
        if (userDate < DateTime.Now)
        {
            toolTip1.ToolTipTitle = "Invalid Date";
            toolTip1.Show("The date in this field must be greater than today's date.", maskedTextBox1, 0, -20, 5000);
            e.Cancel = true;
        }
    }
}

// Hide the tooltip if the user starts typing again before the five-second display limit on the tooltip expires.
void maskedTextBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    toolTip1.Hide(maskedTextBox1);
}

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Me.MaskedTextBox1.Mask = "00/00/0000"
    Me.MaskedTextBox1.ValidatingType = GetType(System.DateTime)

    Me.ToolTip1.IsBalloon = True
End Sub

Private Sub MaskedTextBox1_TypeValidationCompleted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As TypeValidationEventArgs) Handles MaskedTextBox1.TypeValidationCompleted
    If (Not e.IsValidInput) Then
        Me.ToolTip1.ToolTipTitle = "Invalid Date"
        Me.ToolTip1.Show("The data you supplied must be a valid date in the format mm/dd/yyyy.", Me.MaskedTextBox1, 0, -20, 5000)
    Else
        ' Now that the type has passed basic type validation, enforce more specific type rules.
        Dim UserDate As DateTime = CDate(e.ReturnValue)
        If (UserDate < DateTime.Now) Then
            Me.ToolTip1.ToolTipTitle = "Invalid Date"
            Me.ToolTip1.Show("The date in this field must be greater than today's date.", Me.MaskedTextBox1, 0, -20, 5000)
            e.Cancel = True
        End If
    End If
End Sub

' Hide the tooltip if the user starts typing again before the five-second display limit on the tooltip expires.
Private Sub MaskedTextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As KeyEventArgs) Handles MaskedTextBox1.KeyDown
    Me.ToolTip1.Hide(Me.MaskedTextBox1)
End Sub

Remarks

The MaskedTextBox control will optionally validate user input against the type defined by its MaskedTextBox.ValidatingType property. When this property is not null, the following series of events occurs:

  1. The validation sequence begins when one of the following occurs:

  2. Any of these events result in a call to the Parse method of the type specified with the ValidatingType property. Parse is responsible for the conversion of the formatted input string to the target type. A successful conversion equates to a successful validation.

  3. After Parse returns, the TypeValidationCompleted event is raised. The event handler for this event is most commonly implemented to perform type or mask validation processing. It receives a TypeValidationEventArgs parameter containing information about the conversion; for example, the IsValidInput member indicates whether the conversion was successful.

  4. After the event handler for the TypeValidationCompleted event returns, the standard validation event, Validating, is raised. A handler can be implemented to perform standard validation, perhaps including canceling the event.

  5. If the event is not canceled in step 3, the standard control validation event Validated is raised.

If the Cancel property is set to true in the TypeValidationCompleted event handler, the event will be canceled and the MaskedTextBox control retains focus, unless the subsequent Validating event sets its version of the CancelEventArgs.Cancel property back to false.
