How to set initial/default value for RadNumericTextbox?

[JD.]

Hi,

After I added DbValue property, the default/initial value "0"  disappears.  

<telerik:RadNumericTextBox ID="RadNumericTextBox1" Runat="server"
CssClass="AlignRight" Culture="en-US"
Value="0" DataType="System.Decimal"
DbValue ='<%# Bind( "RateValue") %>'
LabelWidth="64px" Width="160px">
<NumberFormat ZeroPattern="n"></NumberFormat>
<DisabledStyle HorizontalAlign="Right" />
</telerik:RadNumericTextBox>

Regards

Hello J,

The described behaviour is expected since, you're passing it a null value, which the control accepts. I would suggest handling the client-side load event and set the default value accordingly. Like so:

function OnLoad(sender, args) {
    if (sender.isEmpty()) {
        sender.set_value(0);
    }
}

I hope that helps.
