Hi Frank,

 

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

 

We would like to let you know that we have already the Dashboard sample for localization(Filterbar CompareOperator and Custom,All,Empty). So that you can make use of the below sample,

Hello Neelakandan,

I've looked at the example, it looks very complex and seems complicated to me.

Is it really the only way, to change the text of an entry from for example 'Ends With ...' to 'Endet mit...'?

Best regards,

Frank

Hi Frank,

 

Thank you for your update.

 

The reported scenario can be achieved by customizing the localization class for FilterBar. And it is the best way to customize the language in FilterBar choices(both dropdown and CompareOperator).  Moreover you can simply change the text in dropdown list using TableControlCurrentCellShowingDropDown event. By using this event, you can customize the FilterBar dropdown item’s text. Please ensure that customization of FilterBar dropdown(Localization) need to be handled by customizing the GetLocalizedString method. Please find the attached sample,

 

Code Snippet:

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControlCurrentCellShowingDropDown += new GridTableControlCurrentCellShowingDropDownEventHandler(gridGroupingControl1_TableControlCurrentCellShowingDropDown);

 

void gridGroupingControl1_TableControlCurrentCellShowingDropDown(object sender, GridTableControlCurrentCellShowingDropDownEventArgs e)

{

GridCurrentCell cc = e.TableControl.CurrentCell;

if (cc.Renderer is GridTableFilterBarExtCellRenderer)

{

GridTableFilterBarExtCellRenderer filter = cc.Renderer as GridTableFilterBarExtCellRenderer;

//Customization of compareOperator Dropdown

if (filter.ListBoxPart.Items.Contains("Starts With..."))

{

//specify your needed item to be renamed

filter.ListBoxPart.Items[0] = "Renamed_Starts_With";

filter.ListBoxPart.SelectedValue = "Renamed_Starts_With";

}

//Customization of filterbar Dropdown items

if (filter.ListBoxPart.Items.Contains("(All)"))

{

//Specify your needed items to be renamed

filter.ListBoxPart.Items[0] = "Renamed_All";

filter.ListBoxPart.Items[1] = "Renamed_Custom";

filter.ListBoxPart.Items[2] = "Renamed_Empty";

}

}

}

 

Please let me know if you have any concerns.

        Dim cc As GridCurrentCell = e.TableControl.CurrentCell
        If (TypeOf cc.Renderer Is GridTableFilterBarExtCellRenderer) Then
            Dim filter As GridTableFilterBarExtCellRenderer = CType(cc.Renderer,GridTableFilterBarExtCellRenderer)
            'Customization of compareOperator Dropdown
            If filter.ListBoxPart.Items.Contains("Starts With...") Then
                'specify your needed item to be renamed
                filter.ListBoxPart.Items(0) = "Renamed_Starts_With"
                filter.ListBoxPart.SelectedValue = "Renamed_Starts_With"
            End If
            'Customization of filterbar Dropdown items
            If filter.ListBoxPart.Items.Contains("(All)") Then

Hello Neelakandan,

works, thanks for your support.

But I mean the theme 'filter' is perhaps improvable.
