XMLNode.ValidationStatus (Word)

Returns a WdXMLValidationStatus constant that represents whether an element or attribute is valid according to the attached schema. Possible return values are wdXMLValidationStatusCustom, wdXMLValidationStatusOK.

This property can return either of the two following WdXMLValidationStatus constants. | wdXMLValidationStatusCustom|Indicates that the SetValidationError method was used to set ValidationErrorText property to a custom text string.| | wdXMLValidationStatusOK|Indicates an XML element or attribute is valid according to the attached schema.| While these are the only two named constants the ValidationStatus property allows, there are many more unnamed values that come from the MSXML 5.0 component included with Microsoft Word. For a more complete list of possible values and their corresponding meaning, refer to the Microsoft Word XML schema reference on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Web site.
