Most (if not all) of the UI controls you mention implement the
mx.core.IDataRenderer interface, so you could just do
var currentData:Object = IDataRenderer(uiControl).data;

of a UIComponent.
If that's the total set, I'd just write the if statement. If
you want extensibility, then I'd subclass each one and add a property
that tells you which property to pull and what its type is. You could
even do that as an interface so other components can be added later.

Subject: [flexcoders] Dynamically retrieving the input data of a
UIComponent.
In one of my components I save a DateField, TextInput,
NumericStepper,
etc. as a UIComponent which is displayed on the screen. I need a
way
of retrieving the data that the user inputs into this
UIComponent, but
my component doesn't know whether it should retrieve the "text"
property (TextInput, TextArea), the "value" property
(NumericStepper),
or the "selectedDate" property (DateField). I could write a long
conditional statement to check for the existence of each input
and
then use the correct property, but I am looking for a more
efficient
solution.
Thanks in advance! :-)
