Set Placeholder text in Grid MultiSelect

[Ove Moland]

Hi,

I have a Telerik UI Grid with a filterable column set to Multi, and Search set to True. Default placeholder text is "search".

How do I change this text?

Hi Ove,

You can achieve the desired functionality by subscribing to the FilterMenuInit event:

.Events(e => e.FilterMenuInit("filterMenuInit"))

and then providing this event handler:

function filterMenuInit(e) {
    setTimeout(function () {
        e.container.find('.k-textbox input').attr('placeholder', 'Suche...')
    });
}

In yellow is the text that will be shown in the search input.

Thanks Venelin,

Will you consider updating the Api to make this task easier?

eg.

.Filterable(f => f.Multi(true).Search(true).Messages(m=> m.SearchPlaceholder ="search for ..."):

(SearchPlaceholder is new)

Also make the placeholder aware of localized kendo.messages.js modifications.

Hello Ove,

Thank you for your suggestions. You can share them in our feedback portal: http://kendoui-feedback.telerik.com/forums/127393-telerik-kendo-ui-feedback so more people could see them. However I think the "SearchPlaceholder" idea and the search text localization are two separate things and should be in different items.
