  • Find out whether the value returned by the control is NULL if its content is empty.
  • Configure the value returned by the control if its content is empty.

Example
EDT_MinPrice.NullIfEmpty = True
EDT_MaxPrice.NullIfEmpty = True
REQ_Find.ParamMinPrice = EDT_MinPrice
REQ_Find.ParamMaxPrice = EDT_MaxPrice
HExecuteQuery(QRY_Find)
