Interface Validated

All Known Implementing Classes:
MFXComboBox, MFXDatePicker, MFXFilterComboBox, MFXLegacyComboBox, MFXPasswordField, MFXStepperToggle, MFXTextField
public interface Validated
Interface that defines the public API every control needing validation should implement.

Note that this interface just tells the user that the control already offers a MFXValidator instance if needed.

Also defines a PseudoClass, ":invalid", that can be used in CSS to style the control according to the validator' state. Note that the PseudoClass is not managed automatically but it must be activated/deactivated by the user, you can use updateInvalid(Node, boolean) to do this.
