'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function ValidateText( _

   ByVal text As String _

'Usage
 
Dim instance As TextBoxArea

Dim text As String

Dim value As Boolean

 

value = instance.ValidateText(text)

public bool ValidateText( 

   string text

)

Parameters

text

A string representing the text to validate.

Return Value

text must be passed as though the mask were applied to it. For example, if ">@9@-9@9" is used as the mask, then "J4L-4C3" would be valid, but "J4L4C3" would not.

If no mask is used, Validate will always return true.
