Boolean

Defines whether the contents are optional (valid even if empty).

Boolean	Description
True	The control contents are optional.
False	The control contents are not optional and must be entered.

Comments

The AllowEmpty property defines whether the contents are optional (valid even if empty).

If AllowEmpty is set to False, the contents are considered invalid if the control is empty and the user has not entered any data.

The Contents.Valid and Contents.ValidMsg properties can be used to test the contents.

The ValidationError event occurs when invalid input is detected.
