I dont think it is possible using TIB_Edit. The field is blank when
not focused, 0 when focused - which means it is operating as designed.
Perhaps you could using an EditMask, but then you get '_' showing up
instead of zero.

If you ask Marco Menardi really nicely then he may consider adding a
property to IB_Currency to support blank on zero (if it is not
possible at already). I would suggest my Enhanced components but I am
not certain that it will give you exactly what you want either. I can
experiment if you are at all interested.
