Description

Previously, in a previous tutorial of this series I had shown how to apply validations using the UNO Service through the Dispatcher. Actually, that procedure only called the dialog box and the user had to fill in the parameters of the validation.

In the present tutorial we will explore the use of validations in a deeper way. We will assign each of the parameters directly in the range object. Within this learning session we will make use of the following services, properties and enumerations.
