Occurs when the in-place editor needs to validate the new value.
Declaration

| Result | Boolean |
Description
When an in-place editor of a custom keyword test operation displayed in the Keyword Test editor is about to close and the HasChanges event handler reported that changes were made, the Validate event is then raised. When handled, it validates the new value. For example, if the in-place editor is supposed to accept numbers only, the Validate event handler should check if the inputted value corresponds to a number.
The default event handler used by TestComplete always returns True. You can create your own event handler to perform custom validation.
Parameters
The event has the following parameter:
Data
Return Value
True if the value in the editor is valid; otherwise False.
Remarks
If the Validate event handler returned True, the ApplyChanges event then occurs in order for the operation to save the changes made via the in-place editor.
If the event handler returned False, the ValidationMessage event occurs to obtain the description of the validation error that has occurred.
