We are using the GridViewMaskedInputColumn in RadGridView with MaskType="Numeric".
The binded value is type of nullable integer, so is there any method to accept empty or a numeric value in the gridview column.

Update: it is supported by default, I have checked a different column.

But my question has a change, how to avoid default value 0 on cell edit.

Hi,

I am not sure what default value you will expect instead of zero.

Generally you can avoid committing zeroes by subscribing to the CellEditEnded event. During this event you can check if the new data is 0 and if it is, you can apply your own custom logic there. More information about the edit events can be found at the following link in our online documentation.

For your convenience, i have attached a sample project demonstrating this solution.

If I have somehow misunderstood you and your requirement is different, would you please explain it in more details?

Hello Hristo,

Thank you for the response.
I will explain the problem in detail.

I am using radgridview, and the columns are bind to observable collection of entityframework auto generated class.
There are certain properties in class which are nullable integers (because they are nullable in database).
Everything work proper. But when I click on the column which is of type nullable int (?int) in the editmode, it adds 0.
Which is not desired. Hope you got my issue.

I have modified your sample to showcase the issue I am facing.
But couldn't attach it, So I am posting the code snippet I have changed.

I have modified the StadiumCapacity to nullable integer, then removed the cell edit end event from code behind.
And in xaml with radgrid I have enable new row position.

           public int? StadiumCapacity
        {
            get { return _stadiumCapacity; }
            set
            {
                if (value != _stadiumCapacity)
                {
                    _stadiumCapacity = value;
                    OnPropertyChanged("StadiumCapacity");
                }
            }
        }

When I am running the app, I am able to add new rows.
And if I dont click or focus(using keyboard) on the Stadium capacity column, the data will be empty.
But if I click on it, it sets as 0.

Hello Reyas,

When you click on the cell, the default value is 0, because the GridViewMaskedInputColumn's mask type is numeric . There are two possible solutions to your issue:

The first one is to make changes in the setter of the property. Basically, you would have  to check the value and if it is 0, to can change it to null during in the property's setter.
For example with the property StadiumCapacity you can use the following snippet:

public int? StadiumCapacity
       {
           get { return stadiumCapacity; }
           set
           {
               if (value != stadiumCapacity)
               {
                   if (value==0)
                   {
                       stadiumCapacity = null;
                       OnPropertyChanged("StadiumCapacity");
                       return;
                   }
                   stadiumCapacity = value;
                   OnPropertyChanged("StadiumCapacity");
               }
           }
       }

The second solution is to change the GridViewMaskedInputColumn's mask type to different value, for example Standard.
