Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true, to display null text in the focused editor; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The TextEdit descendants can display a prompt text (null text). The null text is hidden by default when the editor is focused. The null text visibility is specified by the BaseEdit.ShowNullText property.

Set the ShowNullTextIfFocused property to true to display null text in the focused editor. In this case, the null text is hidden when an end user enters any value or the BaseEdit.EditValue property is set.
