Column Titles from DB / variables

[harsh]

Hi guys,
Is it possible to use variables for titles in Grids.I am trying to do internationalization so that Title can come from DB / CMS system .

editable : "inline",
columns : [
{
field : "OrderID",
title : '$T_OO1', <--------instead of "Order ID"
filterable : true,
width : '20%'
},

[harsh]

All,
Just an update.I was able to get the handle of the title variable/attribute by the following code but it is not reflecting in UI,Any hints ?


$("#grid").ready(function(){
  $test=$("#grid").find('.k-header:nth-child(4)');
  console.log($test.attr('data-title'));
  $test.attr('data-title','');
  $test.attr('data-title','aaaaa');
  console.log($test.attr('data-title'));
});

Found the solution

$("#grid thead [data-field=Freight]").text("ABC");

Hello  Harsh,


Regarding the variable question, if it is evaluated during page load, there should not be any problem in using it. For example in an ASP.NET MVC environment you could set it like this:

field: "OrderDate",
title: "@ViewBag.Title"

As for the solution from the last post, it will cause issues when the filter/column menu is enabled as it will remove the filter icon.
