Modifying FilterMenu item texts programatically

[DrKawashima]

Hi,
I need to modify the item texts of a radgrid's FilterMenu ( for example changing "Order by", "Contains" and "Does not contain" to something else)

My attempted solution is to add a RadMenuEventHandler  to the FilterMenu.ItemCreated event, so that when a filtermenu item is created, my method FilterMenu_ItemCreated will fire and replace the necessary texts.

However the FilterMenu_ItemCreated  method never fires. And I'm not sure why

 I've have previously been successful when using the same approach for modifying texts inthe HeaderContextMenu. I just added an event handler for the ItemCreatedEvent (like this: grid.HeaderContextMenu.ItemCreated += new RadMenuEventHandler(HeaderContextMenu_ItemCreated); ) and that worked perfectly fine. 

So I'm confused why the same approach doesn't work for the FilterMenu

Below is some code:
----------------------


This is basically how the grid is set up. The event handler is added on the last line

RadGrid grid = new RadGrid();
grid.ID = "radgrid1";
....
grid.MasterTableView.AllowFilteringByColumn = true;
grid.MasterTableView.EnableHeaderContextFilterMenu = true;
grid.HeaderContextMenu.ItemCreated += new RadMenuEventHandler(HeaderContextMenu_ItemCreated);
grid.FilterMenu.ItemCreated += new RadMenuEventHandler(FilterMenu_ItemCreated);

A simplified version of the method which should fire during the ItemCreated event.

void FilterMenu_ItemCreated(object sender, RadMenuEventArgs e)

        {

  

            string newHeader = RadGridHelper.GetLocalizedTextForFilterMenuItems(e.Item.Text);

            if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(newHeader))

                e.Item.Text = newHeader;

    #if DEBUG

            LogUtil.Log(String.Format("GetLocalizedTextForFilterMenuItems {0}", e.Item.Text));

#endif

        }

 

public static string GetLocalizedTextForFilterMenuItems(string text)

        {

 

            switch (text)

            {

                case "Between": return "Mellan" ;

    }}

Hi,

I suppose you want to localize the RadGrid FilterFunction text. Following is the sample code.

C#:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    GridFilterMenu menu = RadGrid1.FilterMenu;
    foreach (RadMenuItem item in menu.Items)
    {    //change the text for the "StartsWith" menu item
        if (item.Text == "StartsWith")
        {
            item.Text = "your_custom_localized_string";
        }
    }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.
