[Solved] Localize standard filter dialog without resource files

[uku]

Hello,

is it possible to programmatically do the localization of the standard filter dialog within the grid view. I'm not using resource files. All texts are taken dynamically from the database and exposed to the screen via properties in my view model.
Everything works fine besides the filter dialog. I don't know if and how it's possible to bind my text properties of the view model to the resource texts in the filter dialog.

If it's not possible to localize the filter dialog by binding it to my view model I guess I have to create custom filters.

Any ideas and help would be appreciated.

Hello Uku,

I can not think of a proper way to localize the filtering control without using resource files. If you open the control template of the FilteringControl you will see how all texts are obtained using the localization manager. One possible way to change this would be to edit the whole control template and change all places where the texts are obtained with your specific logic. I am not really sure how you will be able to specify them at runtime though. Creating custom filters would be the fastest and cleanest way to go in your particular case.
