GridView Excel like FilterBox - Translation

[Yves]

Hello,

i'm trying to translate the PopUp for filtering a column in RadGridView.

 

I am using "FilterPopupRequired(object sender, FilterPopupRequiredEventArgs e) " to manipulate the popup.

I got all Elements translated except of two:   (attached is a image that shows the two problematic elements)

- Textbox that shows "Search...":

      I tried:                    

foreach (var item in ((RadListFilterPopup)e.FilterPopup).Items)
{
    if (item as FilterMenuTextBoxItem != null)
    {
        var textBox = ((FilterMenuTextBoxItem)item).TextBox;
        //textBox.Text = "...";
        textBox.NullText = "NULL";

    }
}

If i set .ext i see it is the right control im changing but i want to set the text if the user did not enter any text so i tried NullText but it is not working. Any ideas?

 

- First Element in TreeView that shows "All":

   i tried to get the elements of the Treeview but i can't get them.

   Here is my code:

foreach (var item in ((RadListFilterPopup)e.FilterPopup).Items)
           {

               if (item as FilterMenuTreeItem != null)
               {
                   var items = ((FilterMenuTreeItem)item).Items; // here items count is 0
               }
           }

 

Thank you very much.

 

Best Regards,

Yves

Hello Yves,

Thank you for writing.

It is suitable to use a RadGridLocalizationProvider and specify the desired strings that you need to change:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.radGridView1.EnableFiltering = true;
    this.radGridView1.ShowHeaderCellButtons = true;
    this.radGridView1.ShowFilteringRow = false;

    RadGridLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = new MyRadGridLocalizationProvider();
}

public class MyRadGridLocalizationProvider : RadGridLocalizationProvider
{
    public override string GetLocalizedString(string id)
    {
        switch (id)
        {
            case RadGridStringId.FilterMenuSelectionAll:
                return "My All";
            case RadGridStringId.FilterMenuSearchBoxText:
                return "My Search...";
        }
        return base.GetLocalizedString(id);
    }
}

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.

Hello Dess,

 thank you for pointing me to this.

This is a very comfortable way for using own translations.

 

But i have another question:

Is there any predefinied translation for different languages delivered by telerik, that i could use out of the box? I found that you offer different resource dll's for WPF, but is there somthing similar for WinForms?

Best Regard,

Yves

Hello Yves,

Thank you for writing back.

In our Code Library >> Providers and Dictionaries section our community can exchange different localization providers for numerous controls from the UI for WinForms suite. Please refer to the following link: http://www.telerik.com/support/code-library/winforms/localization-providers.

I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.
