Re: [flexcoders] Re: problem with cell renderer in ComboBox

[Anatole Tartakovsky]

Bod,     We are actually supporting our DGComboBox as a standard object in our framework. As far as Flex 2, it is also supported - just implementation is different - listItemRenderer is dynamically created instead of grid. So there is no code change in the application - just internal implementation is different. However, if you are "starting fresh" with Flex 2  and do not want 3rd party components this will do:                <mx:ComboBox labelField="fname"                        dataProvider="{..}"                        width="200" >                      <mx:listItemRenderer >                            <mx:Component verticalGap="0"> <mx:HBox xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml" xmlns="*" verticalGap="0"    hScrollPolicy="off" vScrollPolicy="off" >           <mx:Label text="{dataObject.fname}" width="50%" /><mx:VRule height="20"/>                 <mx:Label text="{dataObject.lname}" width="50%"/>    </mx:HBox>                            </mx:Component>                      </mx:listItemRenderer>                </mx:ComboBox>     ----- Original Message ----- From: bhaq1972 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 10:21 AM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: problem with cell renderer in ComboBox --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Anatole Tartakovsky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > As far as I recall, dropdown object can be "dropped" and recreated when the data model and other things change. If you do not reassign cellrenderer at that time it will be gone. It would make sense to me to subclass the object and override getDropdown function to assign cellrenderer on each call or at least when dropdown was not defined at the time of the call. > Thank you, > Anatole i agree with you Anatole. infact this is what i'm doing for my subclassed combobox(flex1.5). i override the getDropdown() method. and instead of the dropdown being a List, it's a DataGrid (2 columns, no header). my use case for this kind of dropdown is i can show more information to the user. the only thing i don't like about this approach is its not supported. regards bod -- 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!
