RE: [flexcoders] rowCount = {dataProvider.length}

Thanks Benoit, That is better than entering the dataProvider twice. I'm being nitpicky, but I'd rather have a self-reference - so that I don't have to change either the id or the dataProvider string twice if I reuse or change the code. Something like event.target for events.   But id is less likely to change than the dataProvider, so this is a step in the right direction.   Thanks for the suggestion, Derek     -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Benoit Hediard Sent: Friday, September 29, 2006 10:31 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] rowCount = {dataProvider.length} You can do it like this: <mx:ComboBox id="myCombo" dataProvider="{myDataProvider}" rowCount="{myCombo.dataProvider.length}"/> Benoit Hediard -----Message d'origine----- De : [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com] De la part de flex-guitar Envoyé : vendredi 29 septembre 2006 15:57 À : [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com Objet : [flexcoders] rowCount = {dataProvider.length} Hello everyone, I'm trying to set several ComboBoxs to show their dropdown without scrolling. There are a few posts in the archive suggesting to set the rowCount to the dataProvider.length : <mx:ComboBox id="MyCombo" dataProvider="{MyDataProvider}" rowCount="{dataProvider.length}"/> but I get an compile error ("undefined property 'dataProvider'") This makes sense, since dataProvider isn't a property of my app, just of this component. But I'd rather not type in the dataProvider name again, I'd rather reference it. Do components have a self-reference that can be used in their own bindlings? i.e.: rowCount ="{thisCompont.dataProvider.length}" or do I have set each one directly: rowCount="{MyDataProvider.length}" Thanks, Derek -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
