I don't think so. I changed the format to ZK and then switch the value property of the textbox back to default and then I can see in debug that the type is character.

>>I have a textbox where I want the default type to be numeric. I know I can put a 0 in the value property of the textbox, but I don't want the zero to be displayed in the textbox initially. Is there another way to make the textbox numeric? or is there a way to not show the zero initially?
