Hello,
I would like to localize the default watermark content ("Enter date") of the RadDateTimePicker control. I didn't find it in resources files (I use Q2 2010 librairies).
Is it an oversight or am I missing something ?
Cordially,
Stephane.

Hi Kakone,

Thank you for contacting us.
You could use LocalizationManager class to load resources. You need to create your own resource file and get the value from there and set it to DateTimeWatermarkContent property.
Attached you can find a sample project I made for you.
I hope this helps. I will be glad to assist you further.

Hello,
I know I can set the DateTimeWatermarkContent property but I want to localize your default watermark content. I don't want to set the DateTimeWatermarkContent property for each RadDateTimePicker instance in my application. So, I created a subclass of the RadDateTimePicker class like this :
It would be nice if I could do this without implement a subclass. To localize the rest of your controls, I created my own resource file and I set the DefaultResourceManager like this :

class
MyDateTimePicker : RadDateTimePicker

DateTimePicker()

DateTimeWatermarkContent = MyResources.DateTimeWatermarkContent;

LocalizationManager.DefaultResourceManager = MyResources.ResourceManager;
It's perfect for me. So, generally, I think it would be nice if we could localize easily all the texts in your controls (including the default texts - I have the same problem with the BusyContent default value on the BusyIndicator control for example). Could you put the default watermarkcontent property value in your resource file instead of hardcode it ?Cordially,
