[flexcoders] How to handle this DataGrid request

[Jonathan Miranda]

I’ve a tricky job with a datagrid request from an employer and wondering how I should tackle this. They want a datagrid that can do multiple selections by a checkbox in a row – not your normal shift-click. So you click on 3 checkboxes for 3 rows, and all 3 get selected.   How can I bind the checkbox click to the datagrid selectedIndices – is there an easy way to reference the datagrid through the cellrenderer dataObject? Having a hard enough time getting the checkbox to correctly sort and be remembered. I’m considering trying to “cheat” and make it so when you click anywhere in the row, it selects that row and checks/unchecks the checkbox – but even this is stumping me how I can bind the cell-renderer checkbox to the selectedindices array or something similar. I’ve actually ran this by and they’re fine with that, so how can I bind selecting a row in a datagrid to checking that row’s checkbox…and allowing normal clicks toggle what’s selected (not shift-click). Any of you Flex gurus got an idea on how to tackle this? It’s a Friday and my thinking process is thinking weekends. _________________________________________ Jonathan Miranda Flexible Master of the Web "In the game of chess, it's important to never let your opponent see your pieces." -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!
