Changing NewRow default text

[Pit Pet]

Hi,

how can I change default text of the InsertRow in RadGridView for WPF? The default text is "Click here to add new item".
I also tried to change style of this row. I inserted button to insert row but after clicking this button nothing happened...

regards

Hi Pit Pet,

You may create your own CustomLocalizationManager and predefine the text for that particular key:

public class CustomLocalizationManager : LocalizationManager
    {
        public override string GetStringOverride(string key)
        {
            switch (key)
            {
                case "GridViewAlwaysVisibleNewRow":
                    return "MyOk";
            }
            return base.GetStringOverride(key);
        }
    }

Afterwards, you need to set this CustomLocalizationManager as the default one for the grid:

public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            LocalizationManager.Manager = new CustomLocalizationManager();
        }

thanks a lot.
This solution solved the problem.
But what when I override default style of NewRow - for example I will put there button. What have I do in Click event of this button to force InsertMode like when I click button with text "Click here to add new item"?

Hi Pit Pet,

You may take advantage of the built-in command - BeginInsert. For further information you may refer to our online documentation and demos.

Hi Nagasree,

I am afraid that the localization is performed on application level. Localizing a given control explicitly is not supported.

Not to sound unappreciative of this solution, but I'm a little disappointed by it. Localization is more about supporting multiple languages, and it feels silly for me to create a localization manager for the sake of customizing the text of a single element in the GridView control.

What would be the proper procedure for me to formally request a feature for the GridView that allows developers to override the NewRow text via a new DependencyProperty?

Hello Alex,

Thank you for your feedback.

I've taken the liberty of creating a new feature request in our feedback portal on your behalf regarding such a property. If this item accumulates enough votes, we will consider implementing it in a future release. You can follow the item to get notified about any changes in its status.

I do hope you find the suggestion proposed by my colleague earlier applicable for the time being.

If I can further assist you in any way, please let me know.

Thank you for creating the feature request for me. 

For the time being, I've actually used a different approach from another thread on this forum.
