Event when a form's validation status changes?

[Jeff]

I have a RadDataForm, and need to be informed when the form's validation status changes.

What I thought I could do was to listen to RadDataForm.ValidationSummary.Errors.CollectionChanged, but unfortunately, even as late as RadDataForm.Loaded, RadDataForm.ValidationSummary is null.

Is there some event that RadDataForm fires when its validation status changes?

Or some event that RadDataForm fires after its ValidationSummary has been created?

Hello Jeff,

There is no such event introduced that you can handle. Subscribing to the CollectionChanged of the Errors collection seems applicable and I have successfully subscribed to it in the Loaded event of the RadDataForm. Please check the attached sample.  Please share more details regarding your setup so I can advise you as I am not able to reproduce such behavior. How is the validation set at your end? Can you provide a sample?

I put handlers on pretty much every event, to see when the ValidationSummary first appears. It was null in Loaded, and most of the others.

The first event in which it was not null was in GotFocus, so I'm setting up a handler on Errors.CollectionChanged in the GotFocus handler. It's not ideal, but it solves my problem.

Hello Jeff,

I am not sure of your exact setup, but in the sample provided attaching to the CollectionChanged in the Loaded event works as expected. However, I am glad to hear that you have managed to find a solution.
