Hi,
I have found a bug with the TelerikNumericTextBox in that it doesn't function correctly with nullable types (at least it doesn't with Nullable<int>). I have confirmed this is the case for both 2.28 and 2.29 versions of Kendo for Blazor.
If "TelerikNumericTextBox" is "@bind-Value" to a nullable int, the control exhibits some unusual behaviour. If you manually type 0 into the control, it is accepted and the value updates the view-model property. However, if you use either the down-arrow button or arrow keys to select 0 (on a fresh load so there is no existing value selected/set), it does not set/update the view-model property. However, it does work correctly if you select another value first (such as 1) and then select 0.
Unfortunately, this is confusing the end-users of my application and I believe it is a bug (I haven't noticed this when using the Kendo for Angular or Kendo for JQuery).
In my application, I need users to be able to set the value of 0 but we do not want to set an initial value for the NumericTextBox to be 0 as this could lead our customers on; the application in question is requiring the end-user to manually select the number rather than allowing them to just leave it as default. Therefore, the view-model property I am binding to has been put as "int?" so that the default value is null and validation will require the user to select a valid value if they just try and press save without making any changes. Please note, for our use case, the number 0 is a valid option!
Use the following razor HTML
The new value is: @TheValue
<TelerikNumericTextBox Format="D" Max="10" Min="0" Step="1" @bind-Value="@TheValue"></TelerikNumericTextBox>
@code {
public int? TheValue { get; set; }
}
Click into the control and either press "down" on the keyboard arrow keys or press the "down" icon next to the control, so the value is set to be 0. The number 0 will not be set/persisted to the view-model property even though the control shows a 0 value.
If you have multiple controls on the page, following the above steps will mean that as soon as you click into another control, 0 is deleted (I believe because the VM prop has not been set), this does not happen if you type 0 into the control.
HOWEVER
If you continue to use the same Razor code above and any of the following workflows, it will set the controls view-model property correctly:
I have attached a sample project where I have replicated the issue, it is just a simple NET5 WASM Blazor project (generated from the default template) and I have just added the latest Kendo for Blazor. Nothing else has been done except for demoing on the "index.razor" both binding approaches I have tried/been able to replicate this issue on.
I hope the above makes sense, let me know if you need any further clarification.
