RadTimePicker Localization Close Button Text

[Peter]

Hi,

I use the RadControls for WinForms Q1 2012 SP1. I've localized my RadTimePicker Strings in C# exactly as you recommended it here. But the close button doesn't change to the localized string. Can you help me? 

Best, 

Peter

Hi Peter, 

Using version 2012.1.321.40 this all seems to be working as expected. If you are not on the latest version, I would suggest upgrading. Can you please try this sample. 

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    RadTimePickerLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = new MyTimePickerLocalizationProvider();
}

class MyTimePickerLocalizationProvider : RadTimePickerLocalizationProvider
 {
     public override string GetLocalizedString(string id)
     {
         switch (id)
         {
             case RadTimePickerStringId.HourHeaderText: return "Hours (local)";
             case RadTimePickerStringId.MinutesHeaderText: return "Minutes (local)";
             case RadTimePickerStringId.CloseButtonText: return "Close (local)";
             default: return string.Empty;
         }
     }
 }

If this resolves your issue, please remember to mark as answer. If you need further help, please let me know

The Mistake was to do it like this: 

static Form1()
{
    RadTimePickerLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = new MyTimePickerLocalizationProvider();
}

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
}

Also this doesn't work (close button doesn't get localized):

public Form1()
{
    RadTimePickerLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = new MyTimePickerLocalizationProvider();
    InitializeComponent();
}

Just this version works fine (everything localized):

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    RadTimePickerLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = new MyTimePickerLocalizationProvider();
}

Thank you for your help.

Best,

Peter

Hello Peter,

That is correct. You need to set the localization provider after the InitializeComponent call because before this call the control is not yet initialized.

I hope this helps.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for contacting Telerik support.

We are aware of this issue and we provided a fix for it in our latest internal release (v2012.1.517)
As a workaround in your version you can set the localization provider after the InitializeComponent method, for example:

public partial class Form1 : Form
   {
       public Form1()
       {
           InitializeComponent();

           RadTimePickerLocalizationProvider.CurrentProvider = new MyRadTimePickerLocalizationProvider();
       }
   }

I hope this helps. Greetings,

Is there any way around upgrading the controls?  We are at a point in our dev cycle where it is not feasible. 

I was able to translate content in the CellEditorInitialized event for a RadDateTimePicker.   Is there a way to do the same with the RadTimePicker. 

I am on version v2012.1.12.215
        

RadDateTimeEditorElement editorElement = (RadDateTimeEditorElement)editor.EditorElement;
RadDateTimePickerCalendar calenderBehaviour = (RadDateTimePickerCalendar)editorElement.GetCurrentBehavior();
RadCalendar calendar = (RadCalendar)calenderBehaviour.Calendar;
calendar.TodayButton.Text = LocSystemLabels.GetString("Today");
calendar.ClearButton.Text = LocSystemLabels.GetString("Clear");

[Stefan]

Hello Matthew,

Yes, there is a way. Here is how to do that:

void radGridView1_EditorRequired(object sender, EditorRequiredEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.EditorType == typeof(RadDateTimeEditor))
    {
        e.Editor = new RadTimePickerElement();
    }
}

void radGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    RadTimePickerElement el = e.ActiveEditor as RadTimePickerElement;
    if (el != null)
    {
        el.PopupOpened -= new EventHandler(el_PopupOpened);
        el.PopupOpened += new EventHandler(el_PopupOpened);

    }
}

void el_PopupOpened(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadTimePickerElement el = sender as RadTimePickerElement;
    el.PopupContentElement.HoursTable.TableHeader.HeaderElement.Text = "your text here";
    el.PopupContentElement.MinutesTable.TableHeader.HeaderElement.Text = "your text here";
    el.PopupContentElement.FooterPanel.ButtonElement.Text = "your text here";
}

I hope this helps.

Great, thanks Stefan.  That does help, although I am experiencing a little different behaviour when changing this code.  When using the TimePickerEditor I am able to use the arrow keys to change the time without loading the TimePicker.  Is there a way to have the best of both worlds?

void radGridView1_EditorRequired(object sender, EditorRequiredEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.EditorType == typeof(RadDateTimeEditor))
    {
        //e.Editor = new RadTimePickerElement();
        e.Editor = new TimePickerEditor();
    }
}

[Matthew Compton]

You can disregard this.  I am overloading the timepicker already and moved the localization code in there.   thanks for your help.
