Enum InputField.CharacterValidation

The type of characters that are allowed to be added to the string.

Namespace: UnityEngine.UI

Syntax

public enum CharacterValidation

Remarks

Note that the character validation does not validate the entire string as being valid or not. It only does validation on a per-character level, resulting in the typed character either being added to the string or not
