instance.NullColor = value

Property Value

Color object containing the background color of the edit control

Remarks

This property indicates to the user that the control contains the null value. The background color of the control changes to the specified color when the control loses the focus.

When the AllowNull property is set to true, the control accepts null values, and the user can provide a null value in the following ways:

  • Press F2.
  • Delete the contents of the control.
  • Call the SetNull method.
  • Call the ClearAll method.
  • Select the contents of the control and call the Clear method.

This property is available from the SuperEditBase class.

The AllowNull property must be set to true for the NullColor property to work correctly.

You can return whether a control contains the null value by calling the IsNull method.

Example

C#Copy Code
private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   control.NullColor = Color.Coral;
   control.AllowNull = true;
   control.CausesValidation = true;
   control.Text = "";
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   control.ResetNullColor();
}
