Hi, I'm running into two difficulties using the Advanced DataGrid, both related to Grouping. Maybe I should post them separately, but I'll put them together here and see.
First, I can find no documentation or examples on how to format information in a Summary Row. The data for the row is being SUMmed correctly. But I'd like to apply a currency formatter to the data. I haven't been able to discover how to access the value in order to format it. Does anyone know? Second, since the GroupingCollection doesn't react automatically to a change in the underlying dataProvider (as a DataGrid normally does), the docs suggest adding "initialize='gc.refresh()'" to the ADG tag. Unfortunately, because of timing issues, this doesn't always do the trick, since the data may not be ready at the time. In my case, the dataProvider is an ArrayCollection which is populated from server data. So I hoped that by listening for a COLLECTION_CHANGE event on the AC, and calling a refresh after that Event, I could make it work. However, even though the AC is created as an empty AC initially, then populated, the COLLECTION_CHANGE event does not seem to fire. In my debugging, I have confirmed that the listener for the event is created. But the function attached to the event never runs. I can also see that the data actually does arrive, and populates the AC. And by refreshing the GroupingCollection manually, from a button click, the ADG displays the data correctly. Can anyone see what I'm missing? Or has anyone worked through a similar problem? I can certainly post code, if it will be helpful. Thanks in advance for suggestions on either or both issues. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560
