To reproduce: use the following code: public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); this.radDataEntry1.DataSource = new Employee() { FirstName = "Sarah", LastName = "Blake", Salary = null, }; } private class Employee { public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } public Nullable<int> Salary { get; set; } } private void radDataEntry1_EditorInitializing(object sender, EditorInitializingEventArgs e) { if (e.Property.Name == "Salary") { RadMaskedEditBox radMaskedEditBox = new RadMaskedEditBox(); radMaskedEditBox.MaskType = MaskType.Numeric; radMaskedEditBox.Mask = "c"; radMaskedEditBox.NullText = "$0.00"; radMaskedEditBox.TextMaskFormat = MaskFormat.IncludePromptAndLiterals; radMaskedEditBox.MaskedEditBoxElement.StretchVertically = true; e.Editor = radMaskedEditBox; } } private void radDataEntry1_BindingCreated(object sender, BindingCreatedEventArgs e) { if (e.DataMember == "Salary") { e.Binding.Parse += new ConvertEventHandler(Binding_Parse); } } void Binding_Parse(object sender, ConvertEventArgs e) { Nullable<int> salary = int.Parse(e.Value.ToString(), NumberStyles.Currency); e.Value = salary; } 1. Focus the RadMaskedEditBox. 2. Enter some value and press Tab key. 3. The value will be reset to its initial state. Workaround: public class CustomRadDataEntry : RadDataEntry { public override string ThemeClassName { get { return typeof(RadDataEntry).FullName; } } protected override RadScrollablePanelElement CreatePanelElement() { return new CustomRadDataEntryElement(); } } public class CustomRadDataEntryElement:RadDataEntryElement { protected override Type ThemeEffectiveType { get { return typeof(RadDataEntryElement); } } protected override Binding CreateBinding(Control control, string propertyName, string dataMember) { Binding binding = null; object bindObject = null; if (this.Manager is CurrencyManager) { bindObject = (this.Manager as CurrencyManager).List; } else { bindObject = this.Manager.Current; } BindingCreatingEventArgs args = new BindingCreatingEventArgs(control, propertyName, bindObject, dataMember); OnBindingCreating(this, args); if (args.Cancel) { return binding; } binding = new Binding(args.PropertyName, bindObject, args.DataMember, true, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged); OnBindingCreated(this, new BindingCreatedEventArgs(control, args.PropertyName, bindObject, args.DataMember, binding)); return binding; } } Resolution: You need to subscribe to the BindingCreating event and set the FormattingEnabled property to true. Here is the code snippet: void radDataEntry1_BindingCreating(object sender, BindingCreatingEventArgs e) { if (e.DataMember == "Salary") { e.FormattingEnabled = true; } }
