RadCombobox in FilterTemplate RadGrid

[Benny]

Hi,

I've added a RadComboBox in the FilterTemplate of a RadGrid.

<FilterTemplate>
<telerik:RadComboBox
ID="filterNationalities"
DataSourceID="dbNationalities"
DataValueField="ID"
DataTextField="description"
AutoPostBack="false"
runat="server"
AppendDataBoundItems="true"
SelectedValue='<%#((GridItem)Container).OwnerTableView.GetColumn("NationalityID").CurrentFilterValue %>'
OnClientSelectedIndexChanged="FilterByNationality"
OnItemCreated="TranslateNationalities"
Width="75"
ZIndex="10000000">
<Items>
<telerik:RadComboBoxItem />
</Items>
</telerik:RadComboBox>
<telerik:RadScriptBlock  ID="scriptFilterNationality"  runat="server">
<script type="text/javascript">
function FilterByNationality(sender, args) {
var tableView = $find("<%# ((GridItem)Container).OwnerTableView.ClientID %>");
tableView.filter("NationalityID", args.get_item().get_value(), "EqualTo");
}
</script>
</telerik:RadScriptBlock>
</FilterTemplate>

This RadCombobox is bound to a <asp:SqlDataSource ID="dbNationalities" runat="server" />.
Everything works fine but I want to translate the items of the RadCombobox.
I'm using OnItemCreated:

protected void TranslateNationalities( object sender, RadComboBoxItemEventArgs e ) {
        RadComboBoxItem dataItem = e.Item;
        dataItem.Text = "translate text";
}

But this doesn't work. Can I change the text of the items if this is bind to a datasource?
Thanks!

Hello,

I believe, if you have tried the code in ItemDataBound event than ItemCreated, you could have got this working.
