Hi there

I have a style that changes the Foreground property of my editor in case a NullText is being displayed:

        <Style.Triggers>
          <!-- change foreground when displaying null texts -->
          <Trigger Property="igEditors:XamTextEditor.Text"
                   Value="">
            <Setter Property="Foreground"
                    Value="#FFABABAB" />
          </Trigger>
        </Style.Triggers>

Now strange enough, if the text of the editor is being set programmatically during initialization, the trigger kicks in, and the real text is displayed in grey as well. However, as soon as I select the editor, the Foreground is being adjusted to the correct value and also stays that way if the editor loses focus - looks like a bug to me.

...and as a sidenote: Use NullTexts is somewhat of a pain and pretty inconsistent:

• Just clearing the text editor sets the underlying property to an empty string, which doesn't cause the NullText to be displayed. Do I really have to write a converter or is there a way to have the NullText displayed for empty strings on an editor?
• As you can see in the snippet above, I have to trigger the foreground if the Text is an empty string rather then testing for {x:Null} although the bound property is null. Strange as well...

Cheers,

Philipp
