Localizing the GroupbyHeader Text

[Daniel Mettler]

How can i localize the GroupbyHeadertext?

i have a grid with this settings:

<GroupByExpressions>
                <telerik:GridGroupByExpression>
                    <SelectFields>
                        <telerik:GridGroupByField FieldName="DueDate" HeaderText="Due Date" />
                    </SelectFields>
                    <GroupByFields>
                        <telerik:GridGroupByField FieldName="DueDate" HeaderText="Due Date" />
                    </GroupByFields>
                </telerik:GridGroupByExpression>
            </GroupByExpressions>

and now i want to localize the Duedate text. (see image)

Hi Daniel,

You can change the text that shown in the groupheader by setting the FieldAlias property as shown below.

          <telerik:GridGroupByField FieldName="DueDate" HeaderText="Due Date" FieldAlias="MyText" />

Checkout the documentation if you want to Customizing GridGroupHeaderItem

Thanks,

Thank you, that was what im im looking for.

but now, the group item in top of the grid is not localized, i think its the <SelectField>.

How does it work for that?

see the image how it looks now

thanks

Hi Daniel,

I think that the text you are talking about is actually set by the headerText property of the column. So why don't you try change this property and see how it works.

I hope this helps.

Hello Daniel,

Here's a help document on localizing the grid headers. Take a look at it and see if it helps:
Localizing the grid headers

Thanks

I don't get it!

Its the SelectField of <GroupByExpressions> <telerik:GridGroupByExpression>

how can i acces that?
i tried it in ItemDataBound event as well as ItemCreated and ColumnCreated.

Please don't post links, post a real solution! thanks :)

Hi Daniel

You can set the header text directly in the markup:

<GroupByExpressions>
                <telerik:GridGroupByExpression>
                    <SelectFields>
                        <telerik:GridGroupByField FieldName="DueDate" HeaderText="My localized text" />
                    </SelectFields>
                    <GroupByFields>
                        <telerik:GridGroupByField FieldName="DueDate" />
                    </GroupByFields>
                </telerik:GridGroupByExpression>
</GroupByExpressions>

I hope this helps.
