[FNR] Change the language of PagingToolBarMessages

[Iron Bull]

Hi,

I'm using a PagingToolBar and I have to change the language of the messages, but setMessages(PagingToolBarMessages messages) don't actualize them.

GXT 2.1.1

IMHO the PagingToolBar can't be translated without extending/overriding the class (bug). The constructor uses a "fresh" object of PagingToolBarMessages:

public PagingToolBar(final int pageSize) {
    this.pageSize = pageSize;
    msgs = new PagingToolBarMessages();

    first = new Button();

All elements, which are not updated later, won't recognize, that setMessages was used to store your own PagingToolBarMessages object. This applies to all elements created in the constructor only and not updated in onLoad, especially all tooltip messages and beforePageText ("Page").

Workaround:
You may override the onLoad method with code that updates all tooltip messages and labels. Or set the not-updated texts "from the outside". e.g.:

PagingToolBar toolBar = new PagingToolBar(50);
		PagingToolBarMessages toolBarMessages = toolBar.new PagingToolBarMessages();
		toolBarMessages.setAfterPageText("von {0}");
		toolBarMessages.setBeforePageText("Seite");
		toolBarMessages.setDisplayMsg("Zeige {0} - {1} von {2}");
		toolBarMessages.setEmptyMsg("Keine Teilnehmer");
		toolBarMessages.setFirstText("Erste Seite");
		toolBarMessages.setLastText("Letzte Seite");
		toolBarMessages.setNextText("Nächste Seite");
		toolBarMessages.setPrevText("Vorherige Seite");
		toolBarMessages.setRefreshText("Aktualisieren");
		toolBar.setMessages(toolBarMessages);
		
		// Now fix text
		if (toolBar.isShowToolTips()) {
			// 0: First
			((Button)toolBar.getItem(0)).setToolTip(toolBarMessages.getFirstText());
			// 1: Prev
			((Button)toolBar.getItem(1)).setToolTip(toolBarMessages.getPrevText());
		    // 2: Separator
			// 3: BeforePage (no tooltip, see below for text fix)
			// 4: Textbox (no tooltip)
		    // 5: After (no tooltip, text updated by onload)
		    // 6: Separator
			// 7: Next
			((Button)toolBar.getItem(7)).setToolTip(toolBarMessages.getNextText());
			// 8: Last
			((Button)toolBar.getItem(8)).setToolTip(toolBarMessages.getLastText());
		    // 9: Seperator
			// 10: Refresh
			((Button)toolBar.getItem(10)).setToolTip(toolBarMessages.getRefreshText());
			// 11: Fill
			// 12: Display text (no tooltip, text updated by onload)
		}

		// Allways fix beforePage text
		((LabelToolItem)toolBar.getItem(3)).setLabel(toolBarMessages.getBeforePageText());

Fixed the problem for me. Note, that the numbers may change with never GXT versions/more elements in the PagingToolBar class (this code has been tested with V2.1.2).

There has to be a better way...clearly the architect felt it necessary to have this customizable.
