The validated value.

validationGroup

Specifies the validation group the editor will be related to.

Selector: validation-group
Type:

String

Generally, the editors that are associated with dxValidator objects are validated on each value change. But you can combine several editors into a group so that they are validated together (e.g., on a button click).

The validationGroup property should be specified for the associated dxValidator object to indicate the validation group within which the editor will be validated. Assign the same validation group name for those editors that should be validated together.
