Hi, You might actually look at the Grid component, it can use colspan.
As for as 'how easy' it is to port data into a grid and griditems, well never really tried. I could see creating a middle man transformer/interpreter for the data that would make creating grids as easy as the DataGrid allows for. Peace, Mike On 1/17/07, missgiggygirl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello, I know DHTML and am learning Flex, trying to port some of our Web Apps over to a Flex environment. Many of the HTML tables we use to display data have irregular headers, where 3 Headings might themselves be under one heading (using colspan=3"), for instance, and various other non-standard groupings. If need be I can provide a link to illustrate. How would this be accomplished using a Datagrid? (Or is there another "data table" component I should be using?) I love how easy it is to tie a Datagrid to XML and have Flex do all the work for me, but sometimes I need to format the headers (and even a column or two) in an "non-standard" manner. Thanks for any insight you can give. :) Sincerely, Ann
