Ok, I have made progress. I found the data in the component that triggered an event in the "currentTarget" property, not the "Target" property where I had been hunting for it.
So I now have 90% of the application working using events and all that. Yippee. I have one follow up architectural type question. I have a data grid listing all events. When a user selects an event from the grid, the view is changed to a from where the data of the event can be modified and comments can be added. There are two types of comments and there can be 0-N of each type associated with an event record. With the potential for there to be a fair amount of text in the comments associated with each event, I am currently not pulling that data into the ArrayCollection to populate the datagrid. In the form control, I create an object data model that contains all the fields of the event and any associated comments to it. Is this a good way to do this? Is there another concept I could apply here to better effect? My issue is that currently there is no connect between the selected item in the datagrid and the form data object. And I am unclear on the best way to synchronize them. Putting all the data with all the comments into the datagrid dataprovider array collection seem bulky and problematic. Making a new call to the backend CFC for the rest of the data is what I am planning on doing, but when and where do I do this? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 by Adobe® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.
