No localization, no toolbar-modifications, no ...

[Heiko]

I now discovered that the messages for Spreadsheet are only available in English. Also, there is still no way to customize the toolbars other than showing and hiding them. After having much trouble with the Spreadsheet component in the last few days I get the impression that this will not be further developed. Although the response to the component has not been very great, it should at least work identically on all platforms, which is definitely not the case. 

Hey, Telerik, what's going on? Will this component be updated in the foreseeable future and brought to an acceptable level?

Hello Heiko,

We are constantly working on improving the Spreadsheet, providing new features and fixes for priority items. That being said, you are indeed correct that inconsistent configuration across suites mvc/core should be treated as an issue and logged accordingly in our Feedback portal.

In general, messages that are available in the messages localization files could be extended as described in the following section of the documentation:

• https://docs.telerik.com/aspnet-core/globalization/localization#creating-new-localization-files

The full list of available messages that can be customized for the Spreadsheet Toolbar can be observed in the en-us localization file for reference.

In terms of Toolbar modifications - could you elaborate in further details what exactly are you trying to achieve and what issues have you stumbled upon so that I can investigate further?

Hello Dimitar,

and thanks for your reply. In terms of functionality, here is some JS-code from documentation:

<script>
    $("#spreadsheet").kendoSpreadsheet({
        toolbar: {
            home: [ ["bold", "italic"], "format" ]
        }
    });
</script>

 

I didn't find a similar possibility to modify some of the buttons in the toolbar when using ASP.NET MVC/Core spreadsheet component.

I have now done the localization for spreadsheet for de-DE but I am wondering why this component is not translated, that's why I am asking.

Regards
Heiko

Hello Heiko,

If I can understand correctly, you would like to change the default configuration of tools for the Spreadsheet 'Home' tab in the Toolbar. If that is indeed the case, then this can be achieved by utilizing the following configuration:

@(Html.Kendo().Spreadsheet()
    .Name("spreadsheet")
    .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width:100%" })
    .Toolbar(t => {
        t.Home(ht => ht.Clear().Bold().Italic().Format());
    })
  ...
)

Hello Dimitar,

that was the thing I was looking for, thanks! Maybe a good point to add to documentation?!

Have a nice day, even if today is Friday the 13th. :-)

Hello Heiko,

I have logged an internal documentation issue for expanding the ASP.NET Core documentation with an additional article regarding the Spreadsheet Toolbar configuration.
