Hello,
I am trying to change what comes from a database field, that I know it is a fixed set of text values, each one is one of my "translation key", and I want to change them for its translations, so in BeforeShowRow event I do:
global $locale;
global $CCSLocales;
$state = $Component->state_name->GetValue();
$state_translation = $CCSLocales->GetText($state, ' ') ;
$Component->state_name->SetValue($state_translation);
It do not make the translation, it keeps the original value from the DB field, but if I manually change
GetText($state, ' ') for the name of one of the translation key: GetText('state1_trans_name', ' ') it works.
1.- Does this function only accept text and do not accept variables?
2.- How can I do this?
3.- Where I can find the detailed documentation for all CCS4 functions?
Thanks a lot
Best regards

If the variable contains a string, the function must accept it. Anyways, PHP is a untyped language, so no matter if you pass 1, '1', or $myvar = 1
Anyways, try this line:
$state_translation = $CCSLocales->GetText("$state", ' ') ;
AND this another:
$state_translation = $CCSLocales->GetText(" '$state' ", ' ') ;
// please note: you must remove spaces between single and double quotes.
// The above can also be:
$state_translation = $CCSLocales->GetText(" \"$state\" ", ' ') ;
// revove spaces too
If you enter a $var inside a double quotes as "$var" it's value is exploded inside. inserting the single quote ' inside the double quote " will pass the value with the quotes.
$var = "Melvyn";
echo $var;
=> Melvyn
echo " '$var' ";
=> 'Melvyn'
echo " \" $var \" ";
=> "Melvyn"

Thanks a lot for your help Melvyn, it works half.
I tried all your recommendations and something strange happens. The rows with background color blank are translated, but those alternate rows with the alternative background color (a light green with my style) do not change, it seems they do not carry out the event instructions, they only shows the database field text, not the corresponding translation.
What can be the problem? it looks like something is in conflict between "Alternate Records" and the execution of this code inside BeforeShowRow event.
Does anybody knows what is happening, or what am I doing wrong?
Best regards

Hello,
Thanks to Melvyn and finally to Yes Support that explained to me that: "the controls in alternative row has different names, like alt_state_name. You can check it in Project Explorer window. In case different controls are used you need to change the values of state_name or alt_state_name control depending on grid's row."
So I repeated the above instructions for alt_state_name control also, and it worked perfect.
Best regards
