Hi all,  
I have a numeric entry field with minimum value set to 0.  
I want to update the value to 0 or a default value while I'm entering a negative value.  
Currently this is happening only when I go out of focus of the component.  
Is this possible?

You cannot.

The event to change the value only occurs with a 'enter key' press or change of focus for the value to update.
