Hello,

>> i want to show any custom error message to the user

You can try to use the following method:

function my_error_handler(type, name, data){
  alert("My error handler \n"+name+"\n Status:"+data[0].status);
}
dhtmlxError.catchError("LoadXML",my_error_handler);

>> Also is there any way to attach some exception handling code for any component

There is not built-in feature for that.

>> There are some text in Layout (Collapse/Exapnd) which are hardcoded with english String

Unfortunately, layout doesn't provide public method to localize the tooltips. We'll add them in one of the next builds.  In current version it's necessary to modify the dhtmlxlayout.js file. Please let us know if you need details.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

1a. Could you please provide me the link of the documentation related to dhtmlxError component where i can get the full details of this class like modes of error (like LoadXML, ALL etc), some example of error handling to find what the three parameters (type, desc, erData) are?

1b. On same page i have initialized multiple components. So, will just one call be sufficient for error handling of all the components? If so, is there any way to get handler for each component in separate methods? like, for grid i want to write gridLoadErrorHandler(), for Tree i want to have treeLoadErrorHandler() etc.

3. Please let me know the way by which i can localize these tooltips for the hardcoded texts.

Thanks,

Vibhav Agrawal

Hello

the details to dhtmlxError are http://dhtmlx.com/dhxdocs/doku.php?id=dhtmlxtree:error_handling

The second element of the third parameter is object where an error occured:

function my_error_handler(type, name, data){

    /*some code here*/

    var obj = data[1]; /*an object of a component*/

}
dhtmlxError.catchError("LoadXML",my_error_handler);

You can create some locale array for layout. For example:

layout.loc = {"en":{"collapse":"Collapse", "expand":"Expand"}, "ru":{"collapse":"Ñâåðíóòü", "expand":"Ðàçâåðíóòü"}};

Where layout is layout object

in the dhtmlxlayout.js you can locate the following lines:

this.polyObj[obj._idd].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[4].title = "Expand";

this.polyObj[obj._idd].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[4].title = "Collapse";

and replace them with 

this.polyObj[obj._idd].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[4].title =  this.loc[this.loc_a]["expand"];

this.polyObj[anyExp].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[4].title = this.loc[this.loc_a]["collapse"];

The property loc_a defines the locale:

layout.loc_a = "en";
