Bug: refresh() does not respect null values

[lqbwebParticipant]

I was having a strange issue while playing with your numeric component and angular2, and I think I came up with a bug affecting, not the angular2 implementation, but the jqxnumberinput itself (in “simple” mode).

The thing is, you have this bit here:

            a.jqx.utilities.resize(this.host, function() {
                f._render()
            })

which is causing a refresh to happen in my angular code and a call to this._parseDecimalInSimpleMode();. This also happens if you call the public method refresh().

Now, in the implementation of that method you have var e = this.ValueString; which never returns an empty string when I have set a “null” value in the component (as you do in other parts of the code). Instead, it resets the component to 0.00.

The way to reproduce this myself in angular2 is, in a template like:

    <angularNumberInput [(ngModel)]="value" #numericInput>
    </angularNumberInput>

And this in the component:

    value : any = null;
    numericInputSettings:    jqwidgets.NumberInputOptions = { width: '250px', height: '25px', spinButtons: false, spinButtonsStep: "0", inputMode: "simple", allowNull: true, placeHolder: "Null Value"};

    ngAfterViewInit(): void
    {
        this.numericInput.createWidget(this.numericInputSettings);
	var self = this;
	setTimeout(function(){ self.numericInput.widgetObject.refresh(); }, 3000);
    }

I have fixed the problem by adding:

this.ValueString = "";

in line 2853, on the _setDecimal function. Although it does not respect the symbol
