Localization - Make it possible to have chart and pivot grid settings based on a specified culture

created 11 years ago

Currently, when using the PivotGrid and Chart modules, you can customize the control layout and other settings via designers at runtime and design time.
However, you cannot make these customizations per culture without writing code. Helpful real-life scenarios where this would be helpful include, but are not limited to:
- providing localized chart titles;
- creating different pivot grid layouts due to different size of fields/text in different languages.

We have implemented the functionality described in this ticket. It will be included in our next update(s).

Please check back and leave a comment to this response to let us know whether or not this solution addresses your concerns.

Additional information:

The Settings property of the IModelChartSettings and IPivotSettings interfaces was made localizable so that you could customize it under different cultures in Model Editor.
Alternatively, it is always possible to implement a ViewController that will access a required ListEditor directly and customize its underlying pivot grid or chart controls every time they are shown in the UI. The idea is to use control-specific solutions to implement this task exactly as you would do in a regular non-XAF application. For more information on this, refer to the Access Grid Control Properties and List Editors help articles as well as the documentation on the XtraPivotGrid and XtraCharts Suites. If you have questions on these control-specific solutions, please create tickets for the corresponding control/product in the Support Center so we can assist you further.
