Hi I have created simple test case to identify the issue.
If i remove itemEditEnd then i have no issues with the focus. It works cleanly and focus moves from one column to another. But if add itemEditEnd then focus does not move from 1st column to 2 nd column. So event.preventDefault(); statement is the culprit. but i cannot remove this because in the real scenario i am using nested datafield. So how to make the focus move from colimn1 to column2. any pointers are higly appreciated. <?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- itemRenderers\inline\CBInlineCellEditor.mxml --> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.events.DataGridEvent; import mx.collections.ArrayCollection; [Bindable] public var ac:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection( [{dateString:"11/12/2006", contact:"ABD DEF", dt: new Date(2003,10,23)}, {dateString:"11/12/2007", contact:"GHI", dt:new Date(2004,11,2)}, {dateString:"10/10/2007", contact:"JKL MNOP", dt:new Date(2007,4,14)}, {dateString:"09/12/2007", contact:"QRSTUV W XY Z", dt:new Date(2006,1,1)}]); private function onitemEditEnd(event:DataGridEvent):void { event.preventDefault(); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:DataGrid id="myDG" dataProvider="{ac}" variableRowHeight="true" width="500" height="250" itemEditEnd="onitemEditEnd(event)" editable="true"> <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="DateString" dataField="dateString" width="120" itemEditor="com.DateEditor" editorDataField="text" /> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Date" dataField="dt" width="120" itemRenderer="mx.controls.DateField" rendererIsEditor="true" editorDataField="selectedDate"/> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Contact" dataField="contact" width="80"/> </mx:columns > </mx:DataGrid> </mx:Application> Source Code for com.DateEditor is at http://blogcode.flexmonkeypatches.com/__FMP_datagrid_datefield_editor_asString/srcview/index.html --- In [email protected], "Rajan" <ilikef...@...> wrote: > > I have put the following code in the datagrid and found that couple of times > 'itemEditorInstance' is null.So the focus does not move ahead. > > Any pointer.. > > override protected function keyDownHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void > { > // this is technically illegal, but works > //event.ctrlKey = true; > //event.shiftKey = false; > trace( 'Datagerid keyDownHandler itemEditorInstance ' + > itemEditorInstance); > trace( 'Datagerid keyDownHandler event.target ' + event.target > + '\n event.currentTarget ' + event.currentTarget + ( event.target != > event.currentTarget )); > //trace("Datagerid keyDownHandler " + event.keyCode + " " + > event.shiftKey + " " + event.ctrlKey); > super.keyDownHandler(event); > trace("Datagerid keyDownHandler gefocus" + getFocus()); > trace( 'Datagerid keyDownHandler itemEditorInstance > -------------------------------------------------------'); > } > > --- In [email protected], Alex Harui <aharui@> wrote: > > > > Add a focusIn handler on the app that displays the event.target and > > event.relatedObject.
