ExtJS 4 > Row Editor Grid > How to Change "Update" Button Text

Question

Is there any way to change the text of "Update" button in ExtJS-4 Row Editor Grid ?

Answer 1

Good question, I had a look through the source code and whilst there is nothing inside the RowEditing plugin, in the class it extends 'RowEditor.js' there is the following:

Ext.define('Ext.grid.RowEditor', {
    extend: 'Ext.form.Panel',
    requires: [
        'Ext.tip.ToolTip',
        'Ext.util.HashMap',
        'Ext.util.KeyNav'
    ],

    saveBtnText  : 'Update',
    cancelBtnText: 'Cancel',
    ...
});

So I'd assume you'd just need to override the 'saveBtnText' in your instance of 'Ext.grid.plugin.RowEditing' as it calls the parent constructor with callParent(arguments) in the RowEditing class

Not that easy and not without hacking in undocumented areas. The problem is, that the Ext.grid.plugin.RowEditing directly instantiates the Ext.grid.RowEditor without allowing you to pass in configuration options. So in general you have to override the initEditor() method in the plugin and instantiate your own row editor:

// ...
plugins: [{
    ptype: 'rowediting',
    clicksToEdit: 2,
    initEditor: function() {
        var me = this,
            grid = me.grid,
            view = me.view,
            headerCt = grid.headerCt;

        return Ext.create('Ext.grid.RowEditor', {
            autoCancel: me.autoCancel,
            errorSummary: me.errorSummary,
            fields: headerCt.getGridColumns(),
            hidden: true,

            // keep a reference..
            editingPlugin: me,
            renderTo: view.el,
            saveBtnText: 'This is my save button text', // <<---
            cancelBtnText: 'This is my cancel button text' // <<---
        });
    },
}],
// ...

For ExtJS 4

Ext.grid.RowEditor.prototype.cancelBtnText = "This is cancel";
Ext.grid.RowEditor.prototype.saveBtnText = "This is update";
