RE: [flexcoders] Creating calculated columns inside of DataGrid

[Dustin Mercer]

The labelFunction on the DataGridColumn should do what you are asking.  Here is an exerpt from the docs @ http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/mx/controls/dataGridClasses/DataGridColumn.html   labelFunction property   labelFunction:Function  [read-write] A function that determines the text to display in this column. By default the column displays the text for the field in the data that matches the column name. However, sometimes you want to display text based on more than one field in the data, or display something that does not have the format that you want. In such a case you specify a callback function using labelFunction. For the DataGrid control, the method signature has the following form: labelFunction(item:Object, column:DataGridColumn):String Where item contains the DataGrid item object, and column specifies the DataGrid column. A callback function might concatenate the firstName and lastName fields in the data, or do some custom formatting on a Date, or convert a number for the month into the string for the month. This property can be used as the source for data binding. Implementation     public function get labelFunction():Function     public function set labelFunction(value:Function):void       From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Anderson Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2006 4:24 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Creating calculated columns inside of DataGrid   Hello All, Are there any tutorials or examples, that demonstrate Grid Columns which possess the ability to take the contents of other Grid Columns, and perform calculations? The clearest example of this, would be an order form - where there would be a Product and it's related price, and then a blank for Quantity - then finally, the Total blank - which shows the result of the multiplied values. Could any of you point me in the right direction, as how to do this?
