  Hello,

  I am using c1 numeric box inside a template row of c1datagrid.

  My requirement is to show the numeric box blank when null is assigned .

  However, it always shows 0 even if the value is null.

  I also have set “Allow Null” property.

  Is there any other setting has to be done?

  Thank you…

  Hello Mayur,

  I am sorry but I cannot observe this behavior. At my end, just setting the AllowNull property to true makes the C1NumericBox to remain blank. See attached video showing the same.
  
  So, I would like to ask you what ComponentOne version are you using? If you are using any version older than 2018v2, then I would suggest you to kindly upgrade and try testing the issue using the latest version. You may download it from: http://prerelease.componentone.com/dotnet40/c1wpflibrary/2018-t2/C1WPFBasicLibrary.4_4.0.20182.595.zip

  Thanks,

  Hi Mayur,
  
  I checked the issue with 2017v1.549 also and AllowNull property seems to be working correctly at my end.
  
  Could you please test the attached sample at your end and share your observations.

  Hello,

  Attaching a sample here with Numeric Box.

  When I select the number in numeric box within a Data Grid Row, it gives me an error. (Attaching Error Screenshot)

  Is there any way so that deleting the number is accepted without any error.

  Thank you.Demo.zip[img]https://gccontent.blob.core.windows.net/forum-uploads/file-cc1a69d2-fa85-4a09-ac3d-0c517af2d45a.JPG[/img]

  Hello Mayur,

  Thank you for the sample. The error shown in the screen-shot is validation error.
  
  To hide this error message upon deleting the value, you may do any of the following:

  1. Change binding Mode for Value from TwoWay to default/OneWay
  2. Access the C1ValidationDecorator from C1NumericBox’s Template and modify its Style or set its Visibility to hidden.
     
     Refer attached sample
  3. Or you may convert the values manually using a binding converter.

  Thanks,

  Hello,

  It worked as I did not get the warning box again.

  However I have few queries –

  1. In the attached sample, when the default value of the property bound to numeric box is set to null, numeric box still displays 0.

  2. When I press delete key on the numeric box I do not get the property change notification even though binding mode is two way.

  Is this the default behaviour of box.

  Thank you.

  Hello Mayur,

  Thank you for sharing the application.
  
  Yes, both these are by-design. However, you can workaround them to meet your requirements using a Converter.

  1. For showing a blank/empty cell when C1NumericBox’s value is set to null, then you need to define Convert method of IValueConverter, as follows:

  public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
         {
             if (value == null)
                 return double.NaN;
  
             return value;
         }
  

  2. To get notified upon pressing Delete key on C1NumericBox, you need to define IValueConverter’s ConvertBack method, as follows:

  public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
          {
              if(double.IsNaN(System.Convert.ToDouble(value)))
              {
                  return null;
              }
              return value;
          }
  

  Then in XAML, sjust use this converter while binding C1NumericBox’s Value.
  
  Attached is modified sample application for reference.

  Thank you,
