**ValidatePage event**

Wizard Control Pages can be validated using [ValidatePage event](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/windowsforms/Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.WizardControlPage.html#Syncfusion_Windows_Forms_Tools_WizardControlPage_ValidatePage). In this event, data validation can be performed and traversing to the next page can be canceled, if the validation fails.

If the user does not want to validate a page while moving back (pressing BackButton), then it can be done by setting [BackButtonCausesValidation](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/windowsforms/Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.WizardControl.html#Syncfusion_Windows_Forms_Tools_WizardControl_BackButtonCausesValidation) property to `false`.
