[Solved] Boolean Filter Template

[Mac]

Hi, Is there a way to change the Filter display to change True/False to Yes/No for Booleans?

I know the Column Template can be done with the following:

.ClientTemplate("<#= BooleanField? 'Yes' : 'No' #>")

However, if you do that and enable filtering, then the language is out of sync on the Grid.

This question was asked a year and a half ago, but no answer:

Thanks,

Hi Calvin,

One way to achieve this is to use custom localization and change the display message for FilterBoolIsFalse and FilterBoolIsTrue. 

Another way to do this is to bind a javascript function to the click event of the filter icon and change the values of the labels manually.
e.g.

...
.ClientEvents(e => e.OnLoad("onLoad"))
)



<script type="text/javascript">
    function onLoad() {
        $(this).find("th .t-grid-filter").click(function () {
            setTimeout(function () {
                $('div.t-filter-options label[for="GridPersonsMalefalse"]').html('is female');
                $('div.t-filter-options label[for="GridPersonsMaletrue"]').html('is male');
            }, 10);
        });
    }
</script>

All the best,

Thanks for the info, Petur.  It would be great if we could configure the filter settings fluently.
