PagerTextFormat is ignored

[Karen]

Hi

My page style is the following

<PagerStyle Mode="NumericPages" PagerTextFormat="Pages: {4}"></PagerStyle>

The pager looks like this "1 2"

If I put

<PagerStyle PagerTextFormat="Pages: {4}"></PagerStyle>

The pager looks like this "Pages: < >"

What do I do wrong? When I set Mode="NumericPages" it completely ignores the PagerTextFormat, if  I remove Mode it considers PagerTextFormat but doesn't show page numbers only image arrows.

Hello Karen,

Please elaborate a bit on the desired functionality in order to give you more to-the-point answer.

In the meantime I suggest you to take a look at the following article:
Using PagerTextFormat

Short quotes from the mentioned document:

"You can set the format of the text that appears in the Pager (when Mode is "NextPrev" or "NextPrevAndNumeric") using the PagerTextFormat property. The value of this property is an ASP.NET string formatting string."

"{4} indicates where the next and previous page buttons appear. "

The default mode is NextPrev. I hope this helps

Hello

thanks for your answer,

the desired view of pager I want to achieve is the following

Pages: 1 2 3 4 5

But I got Either "1 2 3 4 5" or "Pages: < >"

[Karen]

The problem is narrowed to question how to remove next and prev buttons if I want to use PagerTextFormat ?

Hello Karen,

You may test this approach (combined with Mode="NumericPages"):

C#

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    Label label1 = new Label();
    label1.ID = "label1";
    label1.Text = "Pages: ";
    if (e.Item is GridPagerItem)
        e.Item.Cells[0].Controls[0].Controls.AddAt(0, label1);
}

VB

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridItemEventArgs)
    Dim label1 As New Label()
    label1.ID = "label1"
    label1.Text = "Pages: "
    If TypeOf e.Item Is GridPagerItem Then
        e.Item.Cells(0).Controls(0).Controls.AddAt(0, label1)
    End If
End Sub

Hi guys,

After upgrading to Q1 2009, and using slider for pagermode, I get a new itemcounter in the right side of the footer. Which is fine, but once I try to translate the message it disappears.

So this: grid.PagerStyle.PagerTextFormat = "Liðir {2} til {3} af {5}" equals empty message while this: grid.ClientSettings.ClientMessages.PagerTooltipFormatString = "Síða {0} af {1}" still works.

Hello DJ,

Test the following:

RadGrid1.ClientSettings.ClientMessages.PagerTooltipFormatString = "Síða {0} af {1}";
RadGrid1.PagerStyle.PagerTextFormat = "{4}Item {2} to {3} of {5}";

Let me know whether this helps.

Hi Daniel,

Works perfectly, was a bit clumsy approach at my end obviously.
