RE: [flexcoders] Custom DataGridColumn Component?

[Iko Knyphausen]

Ok, here we go. It’s a little bit of a trial and error fiddle, but this custom DataGridColum will actually accept an additional DataProvider, call an inline itemEditor, select the current datagrid cell value in the combobox upon  creation, and return any desired data after a combobox selection change. Hope it helps someone... -Iko   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:DataGridColumn xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" editorDataField="selectTest">             <!-- Extended Properties of DataGridColumn -->       <mx:ArrayCollection id="dataProviderEdit"></mx:ArrayCollection>         <!-- Dataprovider for combobox itemEditor  -->       <mx:String id="returnField"></mx:String>                                      <!-- Name of the data field that the combobox returns -->       <mx:String id="labelFieldCombo"></mx:String>                                  <!-- Name of the labelField for the combobox -->         <mx:itemEditor>             <mx:Component> <mx:ComboBox dataProvider="{outerDocument.dataProviderEdit}" labelField="{outerDocument.labelFieldCombo}" creationComplete="selectThis()" >                   <mx:Script>                         <![CDATA[                         private function selectThis():void                         {                               var index:int = -1;                                                           for(var i:int=0;i<this.dataProvider.length;i++)                               { if(this.dataProvider[i][labelField] == parentDocument.dataProvider[parentDocument.selectedIndex][outerDocument.dataField])                                     {                                           index = i;                                           break;                                     }                               }                               this.selectedIndex = (index == -1) ? 0 : index;                         }                           public function get selectTest():String                         {                               return this.selectedItem [outerDocument.returnField];                         }                         ]]>                         </mx:Script>               </mx:ComboBox>             </mx:Component>         </mx:itemEditor>   </mx:DataGridColumn> From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Gordon Smith Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 7:13 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Custom DataGridColumn Component?   I think it should be possible to write an MXML component based on <mx:DataGridColumn>, although I've never tried it.   - Gordon   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of iko_knyphausen Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 6:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Custom DataGridColumn Component?   I am trying to make a custom DataGridColumn that would take a few more attributes/properties than the standard DataGridColumn. The purpose would be to pass it a second dataProvider that would be used to populate an itemEditor, which in turn would be implemented as an inline Component in the custom Component. Can it be done as a custom component (mxml), or do I need to go a different route?
