XAF and the Secret Validation Information

Ever seen the XAF validation dialog?

Yeah of course you have. Ever double clicked on the text in the “Description” column? Nope, me neither until recently, try it now:

Whoah, what happened there?! DevExpress secret sauce happened! Well okay, not so secret now I’ve told you. What it is, is a dialog that will give you all kinds of handy information about the validation that was just executed. Information that will help you if your validation isn’t working just how you think it should.

Pretty cool eh? Right, I’m off before the XAF team finds out I’ve spilled the beans. :-)

And is there a way to disable this behaviour? I can imagine that this behaviour is too complex for the end-user...

@Leon

Why would you want to disable it?

Personally I also like this new screen. However, I like to know how to disable it in the case that a customer requests me to disable it. Every screen that's in your app needs to be described for the end-user documentation.

L.V. Meijer , you are absolutely right, the second screen is a bit to complex for the end user.

He or She will probably call you (tech Support) thinking there is something wrong with the application.
