How to change syncfusion datagrid language ( localization)

Question

When grouping columns in Syncfusion Datagrid winforms its appears like : "column name" : record - 10 items. how can change [items] language or can i change it to another word ?

Answer 1

The word you mentioned is defined as the default group caption format in string type. It does not have a localization resource key, so we cannot change this word using localization. However, your requirement to change the word in GridCaptionFormat in SfDataGrid can be achieved by customizing the DrawCell event. Refer to the below code snippet,

//Event Subscription
sfDataGrid1.DrawCell += OnDrawCell;

// Event customization
private void OnDrawCell(object sender, DrawCellEventArgs e)
{
      //Here customize based on your requirement
      if (e.DataRow.RowType == RowType.CaptionCoveredRow)
      {
           // Check language and change the text accordingly
           if (Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.Name == "fr-FR")
               e.DisplayText = e.DisplayText.Replace("Items", "Unid");
      } 
}
