Customize the edit dialog in Angular Grid component

The edit dialog in the Syncfusion Angular Grid can be customized for appearance and behavior using the actionComplete event. Use the requestType property within this event to determine if the dialog is opening for beginEdit or add operations.

In the example below, dialog properties such as header text, showCloseIcon, and height are customized for both editing and adding records.

Additionally, localization for the Save and Cancel buttons is achieved by overriding default locale strings. For a full list of adjustable Grid text, see the Grid Default text documentation.
