changethe text from a GridGroupPanel in a RadgridView

[Diego Velandia]

Hello, I'm using RadControls for Winforms Q3 2009 to build an Winforms application. I have a RadgridView in there. I want to change the text "Drag a column here to group by this column".

I tried to do this, through the option edit UI elements, it changes the text for a moment, but when I execute the application the text doesn't change

 

thanks for the help

Hi Diego Velandia,

To change the default text in RadGridView, you need to create a custom RadGridLocalizationProvider:

public partial class GridForm : Form
{
    public GridForm()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        RadGridLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = new GridViewLocalization();

        this.radGridView1.DataSource = DataTableDumper.GenerateEmployees();
    }
}

public class GridViewLocalization : RadGridLocalizationProvider
{
    public override string GetLocalizedString(string id)
    {
        if (id == RadGridStringId.GroupingPanelDefaultMessage)
            return "Hello World";
        else
            return base.GetLocalizedString(id);
    }
}

You can find more information about the localization in RadControls in this article.
