I have a Subclassed Devexpress TextEdit control, where I want a Numeric Field, displaying 2 decimal points. This does not show the decimal points mask, unless I Click into the control. If the value has zero init , it displays as 0  (Not 0.00). The minute I click into it , or Edit it, it displays correctly. I have tried the same thing with the Devex Control itself dropped on the form, and manually set the Properties (For which I have Code in the Subclass) , and it works fine.

Also, if I set the properties manually on the form in my subclassed control, it also shows the 2 decimals

My subclass code is as follows:

public class dxTextEdit2D : dxTextEdit
{
protected override void OnEnter(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnEnter(e);
this.Properties.Mask.UseMaskAsDisplayFormat = true;
this.Properties.DisplayFormat.FormatType = DevExpress.Utils.FormatType.Numeric;
this.Properties.EditFormat.FormatType = DevExpress.Utils.FormatType.Numeric;
this.Properties.EditFormat.FormatString = "###,####,###,##0.00";
this.Properties.DisplayFormat.FormatString = "###,####,###,##0.00";
this.Properties.Mask.MaskType = DevExpress.XtraEditors.Mask.MaskType.Numeric;
this.Properties.Mask.EditMask = "n02";
}
} // End dxTextEditN2

I have also attached a screen shot of whats happening

 

Trent, Edhy, thanks for replying.

I think the n02 is ok as it was working when I set focus on the control. I got a reply back from Devexpress who pointed me in the right direction , similar to Edhy's suggestion  as to where to put the Event code, so am now also over-riding the InitializeDefaultProperties event, and its working fine now.
