[Solved] Why RadGrid date picker filter isn’t localized?

[Alex R.]

Hello.

I try to localize date picker used in RadGrid filter.
The properties I want localize are:
CancelButtonCaption(Button “Cancel” in Calendar popap),
OkButtonCaption (Button “OK” in Calendar popap)
TodayButtonCaption (Button “Today” in Calendar popap)

I’ve tried two solutions:
1. Localize it on Grid ItemCreated event;
2.Localize it on Grid DataBound event.
Code below:

/// <summary>
/// First solution: Fired when item created.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="sender"></param>
/// <param name="e"></param>
public void Grid_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e) {
  if (e.Item is GridFilteringItem) {
    GridFilteringItem filter = (GridFilteringItem)e.Item;
    GridColumn[] renderColumns = e.Item.OwnerTableView.RenderColumns;
    foreach (GridColumn column in renderColumns) {
    if (column is GridDateTimeColumn) {
      RadDatePicker picker = (RadDatePicker)filter[column.UniqueName].Controls[0];
      picker.Calendar.FastNavigationSettings.CancelButtonCaption = Resources.GlobalRes.Cancel;
      picker.Calendar.FastNavigationSettings.OkButtonCaption = Resources.GlobalRes.OK;
      picker.Calendar.FastNavigationSettings.TodayButtonCaption = Resources.GlobalRes.Today;
    }
    }
 }
}

//---------------------------------------------------------------

/// <summary>
/// Second solution: Is triggered when grid has data bound.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="sender"></param>
/// <param name="e"></param>
protected void Grid_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e){
GridFilteringItem filteringItem = null;
//Get grid filter item.
if (this.Grid.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.FilteringItem) != null
&& this.Grid.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.FilteringItem).Count() >0) {
  filteringItem = (GridFilteringItem)this.Grid.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.FilteringItem)[0];
}
if (filteringItem != null) {
//Get filter control.
foreach (GridColumn column in this.Grid.MasterTableView.RenderColumns) {
  if (column is GridDateTimeColumn) {
  RadDatePicker picker = (RadDatePicker)filteringItem[column.UniqueName].Controls[0];
picker.Calendar.FastNavigationSettings.CancelButtonCaption = Resources.GlobalRes.Cancel;
picker.Calendar.FastNavigationSettings.OkButtonCaption = Resources.GlobalRes.OK;
picker.Calendar.FastNavigationSettings.TodayButtonCaption = Resources.GlobalRes.Today;
                    }
                }
            }
        }

But this does not help.
Could you help me and give an approach to localize date picker in grid filters?
 
Best regards,
Alex.

Hello Alex,

To get the RadDatePicker instance on ItemCreated event handler (or ItemDataBound respectively) I would suggest you to use the following code:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridFilteringItem)
        {
            GridFilteringItem item = e.Item as GridFilteringItem;
            RadDatePicker picker = item.FindControl("RadDatePicker1") as RadDatePicker;
        }
    }

Please review the following link for more information about the major differences between ItemDataBound and ItemCreated events:
