Null Value Support

Since R1 2017 RadSpinEditor supports null value. In order to enable this functionality it is necessary to set the EnableNullValueInput property to true. Thus, when the text is cleared and RadSpinEditor looses focus, null value will be set. The default Value property is of type int and it cannot be set to null. A new property,called NullableValue, is introduced for this purpose and it can be set to null. The NullableValueChanged event is fired when the NullableValue property is changed.

Simple Data Binding

You can find below a sample code snippet demonstrating how to use the NullableValue property with simple data binding:

Simple data binding with null value

public void InitializeNullableSpinEditor()
{ 

    this.radSpinEditor1.EnableNullValueInput = true;
    this.radSpinEditor1.NullableValueChanged += radSpinEditor1_NullableValueChanged;
    Item item = new Item("Apple", 2);
    this.radSpinEditor1.DataBindings.Add("NullableValue", item, "Id", true, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged);
}
private void radSpinEditor1_NullableValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadMessageBox.Show("NullableValue is changed "+ this.radSpinEditor1.NullableValue);
}
public class Item : System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    private string _name;
    private int? _id;
    public Item(string name, int? id)
    {
        this._name = name;
        this._id = id;
    }
    public string Name
    {
        get
        {
            return this._name;
        }
        set
        {
            this._name = value;
            OnPropertyChanged("Name");
        }
    }
    public int? Id
    {
        get
        {
            return this._id;
        }
        set
        {
            this._id = value;
            OnPropertyChanged("Id");
        }
    }
    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
    protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
    {
        if (PropertyChanged != null)
        {
            PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
        }
    }
}

Public Sub InitializeNullableSpinEditor()
    Me.RadSpinEditor1.EnableNullValueInput = True
    AddHandler Me.RadSpinEditor1.NullableValueChanged, AddressOf radSpinEditor1_NullableValueChanged
    Dim item As New Item("Apple", 2)
    Me.RadSpinEditor1.DataBindings.Add("NullableValue", item, "Id", True, Windows.Forms.DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged)
End Sub
Private Sub radSpinEditor1_NullableValueChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    RadMessageBox.Show("NullableValue is changed " & Me.RadSpinEditor1.NullableValue)
End Sub
Public Class Item
    Implements System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged
    Private _name As String
    Private _id As System.Nullable(Of Integer)
    Public Sub New(name As String, id As System.Nullable(Of Integer))
        Me._name = name
        Me._id = id
    End Sub
    Public Property Name() As String
        Get
            Return Me._name
        End Get
        Set(value As String)
            Me._name = value
            OnPropertyChanged("Name")
        End Set
    End Property
    Public Property Id() As System.Nullable(Of Integer)
        Get
            Return Me._id
        End Get
        Set(value As System.Nullable(Of Integer))
            Me._id = value
            OnPropertyChanged("Id")
        End Set
    End Property
    Public Event PropertyChanged As PropertyChangedEventHandler Implements System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged.PropertyChanged
    Protected Overridable Sub OnPropertyChanged(ByVal propertyName As String)
        RaiseEvent PropertyChanged(Me, New PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName))
    End Sub
End Class
