Kinda hard to tell from what you've sent. If you see whole XML nodes it implies that dataField is not set correctly. It has to be "@attributeName" for XML attributes.
What does the XML look like? ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lex Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2007 6:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Need help with validation in a DataGrid Nobody knows? :( Should be straightforward to all the Flexmasters out there! :) ----- Original Message ----- From: Lex <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2007 7:09 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Need help with validation in a DataGrid I'm having a hard time putting a CurrencyValidator inside of a DataGrid. The breakpoints would indicate that the data binds properly, but I get an unfortunately XML mess with big scrollbars in the datagrid instead of what I'd expect. Here's the GenericDollarFormatItemRenderer.mxml that intuition built: ________________________________ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:HBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn; public var dataField:String; [ Bindable] private var dataString:String; public function newInstance():* { return new GenericDollarFormatItemRenderer(); } override public function set data(value:Object):void { if( value != null ){ super.data = value; if( !(value is DataGridColumn) && dataField != null && value[dataField] != null ){ dataString = value[dataField]; obj:Object; } } } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:CurrencyValidator id="pnV" source="{ti}" property="text" trigger=" {ti}" triggerEvent="change" required="true" /> <mx:TextInput id="ti" text="{dataString}" updateComplete="dataString=ti.text;" change="dataString=ti.text;"/> </mx:HBox> ________________________________ I'm adding it to my DataGrid as follows: ________________________________ [Bindable] private var cf1:ClassFactory = new ClassFactory( GenericDollarFormatItemRenderer ); ... cf1.properties = { dataField: 'price' }; ... <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="price" textAlign="right" editable="true" itemRenderer="{cf1}" /> ________________________________ The data source for the data grid is e4x XML drawn from an HTTPService. Any experts out there can elucidate this one? Thanks Alex
