If I set AllowNumericNullValue and Text to '' when EditType is etNumeric all seems fine at design time however it appears these settings are ignored at runtime.
etNumeric edit type means the user can only enter numeric characters, i.e. no letters like A...Z
That is what I expected but that is not what happens, the edit is pre-populated with zero's, in the case of int '0' and real '0.00', when the cursor enters the edit these zeros do not disappear they have to be selected and deleted. The user does not enter a leading zero the edit does it.
If the edit text is preset with any value , be it 0 or another value, the 'text' or rather number won't disappear or be cleared when the control gets focus. This behavior is just like any other edit controls
I am not pre-setting the text! Please read the post, I do not wish to waste your time or mine on things like this. The editor sets the value "0" for integer type and "0.00" for a real, I do not enter any text into the control. How do I prevent this default action as I assumed setting AllowNumericNullValue and Text to '' would accomplish this requirement?
With little exact/precise details , it is hard to try to understand what you are trying to explain.
Do you mean that you do have Text = empty at design time and see a 0 or 0.00 at runtime? If so, this problem will be fixed in the next update.
