LookUpEdit - The FieldName property of LookUpColumns is marked as localizable

created 6 years ago

As you might know, when we try to add columns to an DevExpress.XtraEditors.LookUpEdit control, it will add LookUpColumnInfo per each column. Constructor of this class have many parameters (some optional parameters also), one of them is fieldName. This parameter is not a designTime property (that it should be) so it cause an issue. whenever we try to create resource file, it generate an entry for fieldName in resource file. (not as a designTime properties, with “>>” ( >>) in front of its name).
FieldName is an identical value that referts to name of field in datasource then it should be a designTime property.

It is critical for us to solve this issue. Is that possible for you to correct it (using the DesignerSerializationVisibility for this parameter could be a solution)

    Hello Jess,

    Thank you for your patience.
    I discussed this behavior with my team and here are our results. Currently, there is no easy way to change the behavior since it might result in a breaking change for other customers. Nevertheless, we will keep it in mind to see if it is possible to improve the current behavior in the future.
    As for now, to avoid the shortcoming, I suggest that you consider using our GridLookUpEdit editor instead.
    Please check it out and let me know if you need further assistance.
