verify

The verify property indicates whether the user is prompted to retype the same value after trying to exit the field. The following values are valid:
NO (the default)
EGL does not issue a special prompt.
YES
When the user tries to leave the ConsoleField, EGL performs the following actions:
  • Clears the displayed field, keeping the cursor there.
  • Displays a message for the user to repeat the entry.
  • Compares the two input values when the user tries to leave the field again.

If the values match, the bound variable receives that value and processing continues. If the values do not match, the field content reverts to the value that preceded the first of the two user inputs, and the cursor remains in the field.

The property is a BOOLEAN type. The default value for this property is NO. You cannot update the property at run time.
