I also just discovered that if I store the openItems (to keep the
hierarchy open where it was) then the filtering doesn't show until it
is closed and opened again.
public function doUpdates() : void {
DAO.getInstance().searchText=search.text;
var openItems:Object = testGrid.openItems;
testGrid.dataProvider = new
HierarchicalData(DAO.getInstance().structuredLists);
testGrid.openItems = openItems;
}
Is there a way to get the AdvancedDataGrid to refresh it's list (and
keep the list open where it was?).
cheers,
Paul
