50<span class="uicontrol">Properties</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Validation</span></span> from
51the project's pop-up menu and specifying the maximum number of error messages
52allowed. You might have to select the <span class="uicontrol">Override validation preferences</span> check
53box in order to enable the <span class="uicontrol">Maximum number of validation messages</span> field</p>
