Thanks for your help Manish. We decided on going after the first
approach and making the data grid disabled when the search window is
visible.
Now, another issue I'm having is that when a preview panel is
displayed, the search window gets cut off, even though it's width is a
percentage. You'll see what I mean if you run the following app,
select the first row to cause the preview panel to show, then click
"Search Options". Any idea on why the search box is taking up more
than 100% of the Box width and how to confine it to the width of the
box?
Here's the updated Application:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mx:Application pageTitle="Canvas Test" width="100%" height="100%"
creationComplete="initObj();"
xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
var testData:Array;
function initObj() {
testData = new Array();
testData.push({NAME: "testObj", TIER:"testTier",
PARENTNAME:"parentObj", PARENTTIER:"parentTier"});
pnlProductDetail.width = 0;
}
function toggleSearch() {
filterSearch.visible = !filterSearch.visible;
}
function restoreMyWidth(event) {
event.target.width="100%";
}
function restoreMyHeight(event) {
event.target.height="100%";
}
function toggleEnabled() {
dgProducts.enabled = !dgProducts.enabled;
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
