[Solved] Filter translation and items removal, RadMenu Filter

[Ino]

I had a hard time to find a solution to RadMenu filter in RadGrid and made the code myself so i wanted to share it if anyone else needed it.
Maybe someone could point out stuff i could have done better... i used it here to translate to danish...

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
   gridview2.HeaderContextMenu.ItemCreated += HeaderContextMenu_ItemCreated;
    base.OnLoad(e);
}

protected void HeaderContextMenu_ItemCreated(object sender, RadMenuEventArgs e)
{
    switch (e.Item.Value)
    {
        case "SortAsc":
            e.Item.Text = "Sortere ascending";
            break;
        case "SortDesc":
            e.Item.Text = "Sortere descending";
            break;
        case "SortNone":
            e.Item.Text = "Fjern sortering";
            break;
        case "GroupBy":
            e.Item.Remove();
            break;
        case "UnGroupBy":
            e.Item.Remove();
            break;
        case "ColumnsContainer":
            e.Item.Text = "Vis/Fjern Kolonner";
            break;
        case "FilterMenuParent":
            e.Item.Text = "Filter";
            break;
        case "FilterMenuContainer":
            var btnClearFilter = e.Item.FindControl("HCFMClearFilterButton") as Button;

            var lcShowRows = e.Item.Controls[1] as LiteralControl;
            var lcAnd = e.Item.Controls[4] as LiteralControl;
            var btnFilter = e.Item.FindControl("HCFMFilterButton") as Button;

            if (btnClearFilter != null) btnClearFilter.Text = "Fjern filter";
            if (lcShowRows != null) lcShowRows.Text = "<label class=\"rgHCMShow\">Vis rækker der følger disse regler:</label>";
            if (lcAnd != null) lcAnd.Text = "<label class=\"rgHCMAnd\">Og</label>";
            if (btnFilter != null) btnFilter.Text = "Tilføj filters";

            foreach (var combo in e.Item.Controls.OfType<RadComboBox>())
            {
                var i = 0;
                while (i < combo.Items.Count)
                {
                    switch (combo.Items[i].Text)
                    {
                        case "NoFilter":
                            combo.Items[i].Text = "Intet Filter";
                            i++;
                            break;
                        case "Contains":
                            combo.Items[i].Text = "Indeholder";
                            i++;
                            break;
                        case "EqualTo":
                            combo.Items[i].Text = "Er Lig Med";
                            i++;
                            break;
                        case "GreaterThan":
                            combo.Items[i].Text = "Større End";
                            i++;
                            break;
                        case "LessThan":
                            combo.Items[i].Text = "Mindre End";
                            i++;
                            break;
                        default:
                            combo.Items.Remove(i);
                            break;
                    }
                }
            }
            break;
    }
}

Hi Ino,

A help article that demonstrates how to localize the filtering menu options in radgrid is available here:

Didnt get that one to Work for the builtin Context Radmenu for Radgrid... it only Works if i use the row with filters inside grid

Hi Ino,

Indeed you are right and the article I sent you demonstrates how to localize the basic filtering options only. The approach you implement to translate context menu items is correct and it could be used by anyone else.

However, the most convenient way would be to use global resource files:
