Namespace: CNClrLib.Control.MaskedTextBox
public
 function ValidateText: Olevariant;

Return Value

Type: Olevariant

If successful, an Object of the type specified by the ValidatingType property; otherwise, null to indicate conversion failure.

The ValidateText method attempts to convert the formatted string contained in the Text property to an instance of the type that is specified by the ValidatingType property. Prompt characters are ignored in the formatted string, but literals are handled in accordance with the current value of the TextMaskFormat property.

ValidateText raises the OnTypeValidationCompleted event after the conversion is attempted, regardless of its success.
