Saving empty (or null) Date

I find that if the HighlightType property is set to “Character”, then you will be able to delete the selected date.
Please try to disable the Highlight feature or set the HighlightType to “Character” and let us know whether it helps or not.

The default value for Nullable property is true, so setting it to true did not do anything.

Anyway, what does this property "ShowCheckBoxForNullInput" do? I want to be able to use delete/backspace key to delete the date selected using the calendar poupup. It is as simple as that. How do I do it?

WebInput has Nullable property. This property indicates if control can contain null value and the default value is false.
Please try to enable the Nullable property and let us know whether this helps or not.

WebInput version we are using is 3.0.7200.213

I am trying to set empty or null data for a control and I can't use any key (like delete, backspace) to delete the date that is already entered into the control. This is driving me crazy.. so please help

Here is the sinpet of code I am using to add webInput dynamically in my form.

	WebInput ctrl = (WebInput) foundation;
	ctrl.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Inset;
	ctrl.BorderWidth = 1;
	ctrl.DateTimeEditor.IsEnabled = true;

	ctrl.HighLight.IsEnabled = true;
	ctrl.HighLight.Type = HighLightType.Phrase;

	ctrl.DisplayFormat.IsEnabled = true;
	ctrl.DisplayFormat.Format = 		Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern;
	ctrl.DateTimeEditor.MinDropDownYear = 1900;
	ctrl.DateTimeEditor.MaxDropDownYear = 2100;

I tried adding the following 2 lines, it DID NOT help, I have no idea where the heck is checkbox is to set null (as per the code below)

ctrl.ShowCheckBoxForNullInput = true;ctrl.EditFormat.MaskInfo.SaveBlanks = true;

 
 
Anyway I am sure you can help me here.
 
Thanks
