Gets/sets the kind of action that is taken to notify the end user when a validation session fails.
The following code sample demonstrates how to use the MessageBoxIcon property in conjunction with some of the NotificationSettings properties to customize the way the end user is notified of a failed validation:
Imports Infragistics.Win
Imports Infragistics.Win.Misc
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D
Private Sub SetMessageBoxProperties(ByVal ultraValidator As UltraValidator)
' Set the MessageBoxIcon property to 'Information' so that
' failed validations are not quite as alarming as they are
' with the 'Error' setting.
ultraValidator.MessageBoxIcon = MessageBoxIcon.Information
' Get a reference to the NotificationSettings instance which determines
' how notifications are handled for all controls associated with this
' UltraValidator instance.
Dim notificationSettings As NotificationSettings = ultraValidator.NotificationSettings
' Set the Action property to 'MessageBox' so that a MessageBox
' is used to notify the end user of failed validations.
notificationSettings.Action = NotificationAction.MessageBox
' Use the product name for the MessagBox's Caption
notificationSettings.Caption = Application.ProductName
' Use the 'Asterisk' system sound for the audio notification
notificationSettings.Sound = System.Media.SystemSounds.Asterisk
End Sub
