I'm trying to specify the width of some datagrid columns.... and failing!
The MXML code will follow my message....
the specific problem I'm having is with two simple columns that just
contain text data... I'm trying to specify a width of 30 and they
columns just won't shrink down to that size. they look fine in design
view but render as if the minWidth was set to 70 (for the Status
column) and 80 (for the type column).
<mx:DataGrid variableRowHeight="true" id="dgResults"
doubleClickEnabled="true"
doubleClick="mx.core.Application.application.launchDetailsWindow(dgResults.selectedItem.ENTITYID);"
width="100%" height="100%" click="Alert.show(dgc1.width.toString(),
'width', Alert.OK);">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="" width="30" dataField="ENTITYID">
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:Canvas width="30">
<mx:Image source="/include/info-icon.gif"/>
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:DataGridColumn>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Entity ID" width="80"
dataField="ENTITYID">
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:Label text="{data.ENTITYID}" selectable="true"/>
</mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:DataGridColumn>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Status" minWidth="30"
width="30" dataField="RECORD_STATUS"
dataTipField="RECORD_STATUS_DESC"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Type" minWidth="30" width="30"
dataField="RECORD_TYPE" dataTipField="RECORD_TYPE_DESC" id="dgc1"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Entity Details" dataField="PRSRTNAM">
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:Text htmlText="{data.DETAILS}"/>
</mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:DataGridColumn>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Preferred Address"
dataField="PRSRTNAM" sortable="false">
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:Text htmlText="{data.ADDRESSINFO}"/>
</mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:DataGridColumn>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
