Nullable Decimal in GGC

[Michael Keller]

Hello,

I use a ggc with customer defined business objects. There are some columns that allow null values (defined as Nullable in the business object). By setting the NullString property of the GridCurrenyInfo these values are displayed correct in the grid.

When the user enters a value everything works fine, BUT how can the value be set to "null" by the user. When the users marks the content of the cell and presses the DEL key a zero comes up.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion Products.

From your update, it seems you are setting the celltype of those Nullable defined columns as 'Currency'. With this celltype set, even when the cellvalue is deleted completely, '0' will be the cellvalue. When this celltype is not set, the delete key operation will mark the cellvalue as null by default.

Hello Rajadurai,

yes it is correct what you say. I use the celltype "Currency". because it is a price, but it is an optional price and the user should be able to "delete" this price. No price is different from a price of zero in this case.

Using "not the celltype Currency" is not the solution because it is a currency value and I need the features (e.g. currency symbol).

It is not possible to set a cell with the celltype Currency to "null"?

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your update.

With 'CurrencyCell' celltype in gridgroupingcontrol, it is not possible to display empty cellvalue. If you would like to achieve this along with the currencycell feature, you can handle the TableControlDrawCellDisplayText event and TableControlCurrentCellKeyDown event in such a way giving functionality similar to CurrencyCell celltype. Here is a minimal sample for your reference in which this has been implemented.
