[FNR] PagingToolBar and PagingToolBarMessages

[mnilson]

There is a minor bug in the PagingToolBar in regards to how it handles the PagingToolBarMessages. PagingToolBar exposes a public void setMessages(PagingToolBarMessages messages) method, but the messages are used in the constructor of the toolbar and there is effectively no way to override the default behaviour of the toolbar displaying 'Page'. This should be a fairly simple refactor and would be appreciated.

thanks,
Michael

Same issue exists with most of the widgets as well. (DatePicker, if needed to name one) There is no easy to override methods, which deals with translations. You have to prepare a translation file to override existing translations most of the time. There should have been an easier way to override the translations programatically.

In this case we aren't changing it due to translation, it is because the word 'Page' doesn't make sense in the given context. We would still want the word 'Page' to be displayed on other forms in the app. IMHO the current design of the paging toolbar wouldn't prevent a quick refactoring that would make the widget more flexible while not breaking existing use of it. I am not familiar enough with the other widgets to comment on their refactorability.

but this overwriting the translation file also not work :-(
(copy XMessages_de.properties with the same structure to my project - this overwrites the messages only in Hosted Mode. the GWT Compiler ignore this :-( )

in this case you can hide only the word with css. make an additional css entry and then add this special style to the pagingtoolbar or grid.

Can you help me hide the word "Page", I'm not good at css, I don't know how to do it ,Thanks a lot

[wangying95599]

if I hide the text "Page" by css, the part of "of x" also hidden, I just hope "Page" is disappered .

Has there been a solution to this? It seems like a horrible gap in functionality....clearly the authors felt it was necessary and desirable to let the developer have control over these messages.

There has to be a better way (or a bug fix).

I have this on the list for 2.2 and already a patch pending.

[robertlight]

I've patched it in my world.... can you publish your patch...at least if I use your patch, then it will be closer (or the same) when 2.2 comes out.

Thanks!
