Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	**false**	true, if the RepositoryItemTextEdit.NullValuePrompt is displayed when the editor is focused; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Even if the ShowNullValuePromptWhenFocused property is enabled, the RepositoryItemTextEdit.NullValuePrompt is not displayed for text editors in the following cases:

• When the text editor is focused by clicking it with the mouse.
• When any key is pressed while the editor has focus.
• When the text editor’s value is cleared while the editor has focus (even if the RepositoryItemSearchControl.NullValuePromptShowForEmptyValue is set to true).

These restrictions do not apply to editors that forbid editing their values directly in the edit box.
