How to rename default Grid labels

[Anoop]

I want to rename "Drag a column here to group by this column","Click here to add a new row"
Is it possible ?

Hi,

Try the following code snippet to achieve your scenario.

C#:

this.radGridView1.TableElement.GridViewElement.GroupPanelElement.Text = "add a new row";

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hello guys,

There are two approaches to achieve the desired behavior in this case:

1.To set the text of the elements like Shinu already showed. Also you can read more about this approach in the following forum thread: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/gridview/radgridlocalizationprovider-custom-groupingpaneldefaultmessage.aspx

2. Or to use custom grid localization provider that inherits RadGridLocalizationProvider. For example:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        DataTable listTable = new DataTable();
        listTable.Columns.Add("Name");
        listTable.Columns.Add("Busy");
        listTable.Columns.Add("Id");

        listTable.Rows.Add("Saraha", "No", 1);
        listTable.Rows.Add("Joe", "No", 2);
        listTable.Rows.Add("Lisa", "Yes", 3);
        listTable.Rows.Add("George", "No", 4);
        listTable.Rows.Add("Mary", "Yes", 5);
        listTable.Rows.Add("Janet", "No", 6);

        this.radGridView1.DataSource = listTable;

        RadGridLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = new CustomLocalizationProvider();
    }
}

public class CustomLocalizationProvider : RadGridLocalizationProvider
{
    public override string GetLocalizedString(string id)
    {
        switch (id)
        {
            case RadGridStringId.AddNewRowString:
                return "Your Add new Row Text";
            case RadGridStringId.GroupingPanelDefaultMessage:
                return "Your Grouping Panel Default Message Text";
        }

        return base.GetLocalizedString(id);
    }
}

 
I hope this helps. Do not hesitate to write back if you have further questions.
