Hi Background: I have created a control which displays a DataGrid with a header and footer show simple information such as a title and a time stamp. It is possible to scroll the grid and print each row of data held in the grid. (Resizing of the grid is not possible as it messes up the printing).
I am now trying to create the same control at runtime, this control is NOT a "visible" UI component that can be view in the application, its purpose it to be a print format control. This print control is a VBox containing a HBox, DataGrid and an other HBox, inturn each HBox contains 2 lables (making a total of four labels). To build this control at design time is very straight-forwards, however, I am trying to accomplish this, in memory, at runtime essentially a non-visual control, and then send it to print. Is this at all possible in flex? --- In [email protected], Manish Jethani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > AC wrote: > > > I have three Objects; 2 HBoxes which are populated with children at > > runtime, and a DataGrid.
