New detail tab not emptying fields when null.... (7.5) Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I added a new tab to the account entity. Nothing fancy, just 10 or so fields after I extended the Account table. Three checkboxes and a bunch of numeric fields.

Data is saved correctly.

However, when I use the VCR buttons and go to the next record, any field that previously had a value in it (on the old record) stays on the screen IF the new record I browsed to has null in the database for that field.

Almost like it's not bound to the AccountID field - except that it works correctly if there is a data vale in that field - then it's refreshed properly. As far as I can tell this only effects the integer fields - not the boolean checkbox fields or the one text field (those fields are cleared properly when the data is null).

Is this a bug somewhere? Can anyone else reproduce this? Or is this just me and my inexperience missing a step creating this form / property / control....

The only way around this that I've found is to simply not use the 'Numeric' control.

I checked out what Sage was doing with the 'Employees' field on the Details tab and it's a textbox with a little bit of C# - that's it.

So, all I did was convert my numerics to textboxes and whalla - it works perfectly...

So, beware of using the 'Numeric' controls is all I can say.....

Yes. I have seen some funny things happen with the numeric field. The text box is great for most uses.

Numeric field has exactly the same beaviour in 7.2.2

It's a bug in the Text set property. There is a if (String.IsNullorEmpty(value)).

So the Text property is not set if the value you provide is null...

You can use a textbox as Sage did (wisest choice) or manually set the formattedText property for the numeric control in the onload script. Either case you have to write down a small amount of code.

I found also that the numeric control has trouble firing onchange events (I can't say if this is due to the configuration I was using or what...).

So probably the better choice is not to use it.
