ContentControlBase.Validated Event

public:
 event EventHandler ^ Validated;

event EventHandler Validated;

member this.Validated : EventHandler 

Event Validated As EventHandler 

Event Type

Examples

The following code example demonstrates event handlers for the Validated and Validating events. After the value of the content control is validated, the event handler for the Validated event displays a message box to the end user.

This example assumes that the document contains a PlainTextContentControl named plainTextContentControl1. To use this code, paste it into the ThisDocument class in your project. For C#, you must also attach the event handlers to the Validated and Validating events of plainTextContentControl1.

This example is for a document-level customization.

void plainTextContentControl1_Validating(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.PlainTextContentControl control =
        sender as Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.PlainTextContentControl;

    if (control != null)
    {
        System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex regex = new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(@"\d");
        if (regex.IsMatch(control.Text))
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Invalid name. Names cannot contain integers.");
            e.Cancel = true;
        }
    }
}

void plainTextContentControl1_Validated(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("The name is valid.");
}

Private Sub plainTextContentControl1_Validating(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) _
    Handles PlainTextContentControl1.Validating

    Dim control As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.PlainTextContentControl = _
        TryCast(sender, Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.PlainTextContentControl)

    If control IsNot Nothing Then
        Dim regex As New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("\d")
        If regex.IsMatch(control.Text) Then
            MessageBox.Show("Invalid name. Names cannot contain integers.")
            e.Cancel = True
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub plainTextContentControl1_Validated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
    Handles PlainTextContentControl1.Validated

    MessageBox.Show("The name is valid.")
End Sub

Remarks

Handle the Validated event to run code after the content control has been successfully validated.

To validate the content control, handle the Validating event. When you validate a content control, you make sure that the text in the control meets certain conditions. For example, if you have a content control that contains a phone number, you can verify that it contains only the appropriate characters (numbers, parentheses, hyphens).
