Force validation on bound controls in WPF
- by Valentin Vasilyev
Hello.
I have a WPF dialog with a couple of textboxes on it.
Textboxes are bound to my business object and have WPF validation rules attached.
The problem is that user can perfectly click 'OK' button and close the dialog, without actually entering the data into textboxes. Validation rules never fire, since user didn't even attempt entering the information into textboxes.
Is it possible to force validation checks and determine if some validation rules are broken?
I would be able to do it when user tries to close the dialog and prohibit him from doing it if any validation rules are broken.
Thank you.
