Enum ValidationStrategy

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<ValidationStrategy>

org.netbeans.validation.api.ui.ValidationStrategy

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<ValidationStrategy>, java.lang.constant.Constable

public enum ValidationStrategy
extends Enum<ValidationStrategy>

Determines what event on the component will trigger running validation. For example, if validation of a text component's content involves expensive calculation which could slow down the UI, you may want to use ON_FOCUS_LOSS; however ON_CHANGE_OR_ACTION (reacting every time a key is typed) provides more satisfactory user experience.
