RadDropDownButton with TableSizePicker

[Licenses]

Hello,

I'm using a RadDropDownButton that contains a TableSizePicker. I would like the dropdown to collapse automatically when the user clicks on the TableSizePicker. Setting the 'KeepOpen' property of the RadDropDownButton to false didn't work. Any ideas?

Here is a code snippet. The element name 'richTextEditor' refers to a RadRichTextBox

<telerik:RadDropDownButton x:Name="btnTable" DataContext="{Binding Commands, ElementName=richTextEditor}" Command="{Binding Path=InsertTableCommand}" KeepOpen="False" >
     <Image Source="..." Style="..." ToolTipService.ToolTip="..."/>
     <telerik:RadDropDownButton.DropDownContent>
         <telerik:RadButton ClickMode="Press">
             <telerik:TableSizePicker DataContext="{Binding Commands, ElementName=richTextEditor}" Command="{Binding Path=InsertTableCommand}" />
         </telerik:RadButton>
     </telerik:RadDropDownButton.DropDownContent>
</telerik:RadDropDownButton>

I also would like to apply localization on the TableSizePicker. This control currently contains text like 'Insert Table' and 'a x b Table' (where a and b are the number of columns and rows selected by the user in the TableSizePicker). I would like to replace 'Insert Table' and the word Table in 'a x b Table' by my own translations. Is this possible?

Thanks
Sodi

Hi Sodi We,

By design, the TableSizePicker should be used with RadRibbonDropDownButton like so:

<telerik:RadRibbonDropDownButton  Width="120" Height="40" Background="Aqua"  >
    <telerik:RadRibbonDropDownButton.DropDownContent>
    <telerik:RadRibbonButton >
        <telerik:TableSizePicker  />
            </telerik:RadRibbonButton>
    </telerik:RadRibbonDropDownButton.DropDownContent>
</telerik:RadRibbonDropDownButton>

This way you will have the desired behavior of the button.
On the other hand the localization feature is  scheduled for Q1 2011.
Feel free to ask if you need further info.

Hello Petar,

I installed version 2011.1.315.1040 of the Telerik controls. Is the localization feature for the TableSizePicker control included in this version? If yes,  how can I replace 'Insert Table' and the word Table in 'a x b Table' by my own translations? (a and b are the number of columns and rows selected by the user in the TableSizePicker)

Thanks
Sodi

Hi Sodi We,
Localization is now supported on the TableSizePicker and all string that the rich text box uses.
You can refer to this forum thread for some information on localization in general and the default resource file.
There is also a small demo here (it is for WPF, but the resource files and the approach are pretty much the same).
The strings you would need to localize are:

• Documents_TableSizePicker_InsertTable
• Documents_TableSizePicker_TableSize

If you are using the table size picker in conjunction with a button that opens the InsertTableDialog
(like in the MS Word demo), you might also need to localize the strings in the InsertTableDialog:

• Documents_InsertTableDialog_Header
• Documents_InsertTableDialog_NumberMustBeBetween
• Documents_InsertTableDialog_NumberOfColumns
• Documents_InsertTableDialog_NumberOfRows
• Documents_InsertTableDialog_TableSize
• Cancel
• Ok

Best wishes,
