Note: if you try to clear the initial minimum value by pressing Backspace or Delete key, the editor value reappears. To reproduce: GridViewDecimalColumn decimalColumn2 = new GridViewDecimalColumn("Col2"); decimalColumn2.FieldName = "Number"; decimalColumn2.Minimum = -50; decimalColumn2.Maximum = 50; radGridView2.MasterTemplate.Columns.Add(decimalColumn2); radGridView2.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill; radGridView2.EnableFiltering = true; Workaround: private void radGridView2_EditorRequired(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.EditorRequiredEventArgs e) { if (e.EditorType == typeof(GridSpinEditor)) { e.EditorType = typeof(CustomEditor); } } public class CustomEditor : GridSpinEditor { protected override Telerik.WinControls.RadElement CreateEditorElement() { return new CustomElement(); } } public class CustomElement : GridSpinEditorElement { protected override decimal GetValueFromText() { if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.Text)) { return this.MinValue; } return base.GetValueFromText(); } }
