OK, so here's a question for Ely or some chart experts. Let's say you wanted to create an editable chart, like a Gantt chart that let you drag the regions. Is there any obvious way to go about doing this using the chart classes?
I've done this for a scheduling tool in Flex 1.5 and porting to 2.0 now. I didn't using charting at all though. Just create a component to rep the 'bar' you drag and add mouse events capturing coords and such. I actually layed VBox components on top of a Grid wher the GridItems that made the rows had a backgroup image set on them. Not the most elegant way, but worked well. What I'm thinking is using Andrew Trice's idea of a DataGrid with custom
renderers. That way you can have a custom itemRenderer to display the data, then use a custom itemEditor to actually allow the user to slide the region and adjust the data. I haven't seen that type of support for itemEditor stuff in the charting components. Is that true, or am I just overlooking it? Doug Nate Pearson wrote: I think that's it! thanks so much!
