Hi Pierre,

Thank you for this question.

Yes, it is possible to change the "Add new row" text in RadGridView. You merely need to set the AddNewRowMessageString property of the LocalisationSettings property of the RadGridView.

Let us know if you have other questions.

I have the same question  as Pierre. I want to change the add row text. I followed the suggestion from Jack and set the LocalizationSettings/AddNewRowMessageString to simply "Add New Row...". When i run the form, the gridview add row still has the default text.

i am using Q1 2008.

any help is appreciated.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for this question.

In Q1 2008, we introduced a new localization system in RadGridView. Now you are able to customize all strings in the grid using the RadGridLocalizationProvider class. There is a localization example under the RadGridView branch in the Examples application that comes included with our product.

Consider the following code snippet:

class MyLocalizationProvider: RadGridLocalizationProvider
{
    public override string GetLocalizedString(string id)
    {
        if (id == RadGridStringId.AddNewRowString)
        {
            return "My custom add new row string goes here.";
        }

        return base.GetLocalizedString(id);
    }
}

RadGridLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = new MyLocalizationProvider();

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Is it possible to have a different AddNewRowString for different levels of hierarchy?  See my example below.

* Click here to add a new Job
+ Job1
+ Job2
-  Job3
    * Click here to add a new contractor                     
    + Contractor1
    + Contractor2


Thanks,


John

Hello Mike,

You can handle the ViewRowFormatting event to solve this issue. Please consider the code snippet below:

void radGridView1_ViewRowFormatting(object sender, RowFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    GridViewNewRowInfo newRowInfo = e.RowElement.RowInfo as GridViewNewRowInfo;
    if (newRowInfo != null)
    {
        if (newRowInfo.DataRowInfo != null || e.RowElement.Children[1].Visibility == ElementVisibility.Visible)
        {
            e.RowElement.Text = "";
        }
        else if (newRowInfo.ViewInfo.ParentRow != null)
        {
            e.RowElement.Text = "Click here to add a new contractor";
        }
        else
        {
            e.RowElement.Text = "Click here to add a new Job";
        }
    }
}

I hope this helps.

Thanks Jack.  This code solves my problem......almost.  What is happening now is that after I click on Add Contractor and get a new row, the text Add Contractor is written over the top of the cells in the row.  This makes it hard to tell what you are looking at in the row.  Once you are done with the row and add another one, then the text is not written there any more, but it does show up on the "new" row.  I have changed the AddNewRowPosition to PinnedRowPosition.Bottom.   Would that be causing this problem?

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John
