Hello Andres,

In order to do that you have to use a custom localization provider.
For localization of the RadGridView, filtering and other strings displayed in the grid please take a look at this help article, it provides an in depth sample on how to achieve this.

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,

Best Regards,

Hi:
I need change the text displayed only.
The help article link is broken.

Thanks.

Hello again Andres,

Sorry for the broken link, i swear it was working when i posted it :(, anyway this is the right link ( i will update the other post also ).

Because of virtualization, the grid reuses it's cells, and recreates them when needed, so you cannot just change a property to change that text, this has to be done with a custom localization provider.

*Update: As an example you can use this to set the custom localization:

RadGridLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = new CustomLocalizationProvider();

And for the CustomLocalizationProvider part:

public class CustomLocalizationProvider : RadGridLocalizationProvider
{
    public override string GetLocalizedString(string id)
    {
        switch (id)
        {
            case RadGridStringId.GroupByThisColumnMenuItem:
                return "My custom group by this column text";
        }

        return base.GetLocalizedString(id);
    }
}

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,

Best Regards,

Hello,

Once you have created your own RadGridLocalizationProvider class for example: MyEnglishRadGridLocalizationProvider, you simply need to set

RadGridLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = New MyEnglishRadGridLocalizationProvider()

as per the documebtation that Emanuel provided.
For reference, the documentation on how to localize the RadGridView is here

Hope that helps
Richard
