BackgroundColor and message in InputView

Hey Syncfusion Team,

- We would like to change the background of the sfChat to transparent, however setting any color to the property BackgroundColor has no effect

- Also, we are developping a localized application, and we would like to change the message "Type in message" in the InputView . Why is this not possible as far as we can see ?

Thanks.

Hi Rjuken, 
 
Thank you for using Syncfusion products. 
 
We have analyzed the reported queries from our side. Please find the query response below. 
 
Query 1: Unable to set BackgroundColor for SfChat control 
 
We would like to let you know that currently SfChat doesn’t have support to change the BackgroundColor. So we have considered to implement this support and logged feature request for the same. We will implement this feature in our 2020 Volume 1 release which is scheduled to roll out by the end of March 2020.  
  
You can also communicate with us regarding the open features any time using our Feature Report page.    
  

If you have any more specification/suggestions to the feature request, you can add it as a comment in the portal and cast your vote to make it count.  
 
  
Query 2: Need for Localization in SfChat 
 
We would like to let you know that SfChat uses the following static text that can be localized in application level: 
 
* Today 
* Type a Message 
 
We have prepared a simple sample to showcase localization in SfChat and you can download it from the below link. 
 
 
Please let us know if you require further assistance. 
 
Regards, 
G.Muthu kumaran.

Hey syncfusion team,

Thanks for the update. Also please consider adding this to the documentation of the SfChat this would avoid someone else to seek it ! 

However I am already using my own .resx files, and loading them with a xaml extension. I will open a feedback proposing to expose a TypeMessageTextProperty at least and maybe another mechanism to localize grouping. 

Regards

We already plan to add the localization for SfChat in our User Guide, it will reflect in our UG document on 20th March 2020. We will let you know once the changes have been reflected.

We provided the localization support for static property like TypeMessageTextProperty, because there is no need to change that property. Could you please share the your exact requirement for another mechanism to localize?
