[Solved] Multiple language support for grids

[BOS]

I'm looking for an easy way to loop thru and address all texts in a grid to create multiple language support by fetching texts in users language from DB:
- AddNewRecordText in CommandItemSettings
- CancelText, UpdateText and InsertText in EditColumn
- EditText in GridEditCommandColumn
and HeaderText in all columns.

For all other controls on the page, I loop thru the controls like this: 
    protected void Page_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (Control ctrl in Page.Controls)
        {
            findCtrl(ctrl);
        }
    }

    protected void FormView_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (Control ctrl in FormView.Controls)
        {
            findCtrl(ctrl);
        }
    }

    public void findCtrl(Control ctrlTry)
    {
        if (ctrlTry.HasControls()) // if the control contrains other controls
        {
            if (ctrlTry.ID != null && ctrlTry.ID != "") // control has a ID-name
            {
                Response.Write(ctrlTry.ID + "<BR>");
            }

            foreach (Control lastCtrl in ctrlTry.Controls)
            {
                findCtrl(lastCtrl);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            if (ctrlTry.ID != null && ctrlTry.ID != "")
            {
                Response.Write(ctrlTry.ID + "<BR>");

            }
        }
    }
and use the controls ID to fetch the text from the DB.
But this approach doesn't work on texts in a grid.

Any ideas for multiple language support in grids using lookup i DB?

Hi,

To see more information along the lines of the requested functionality, please refer to the following topic:

http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grdlocalizationforgridheaders.html

This topic is part of the Localization/Accessibility section, which contains information on localizing all sections of the control, in different ways.
I hope this gets you started properly.

Kind regards,
