I’ve seen questions about how to do the new blank row, and there’s plenty of questions about ComboBox renderers. I don’t have any examples for you, but hopefully others will jump, but you may have to wait until Monday. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas Spellman Sent: Friday, October 12, 2007 6:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [flexcoders] list with combo editor Hi All, I’ve been struggling to understand how to make a custom component that will behave like something I have in an Access GUI I did. The control allows you to add people to a “selected people” list by choosing from a list of people. It needs to be a list or one column datagrid that is bound to a “SelectedPeople” collection of Person objects (or PersonID ints). It will always have one “blank” entry to use as a starting place to add another person. When the user clicks on a “new” or existing row in the list, they get a combobox which allows them to choose (or optionally type with autocompletion) to select the next person to be added to the list. When they choose one, that Person object will be added to the “SelectedPeople” collection, a new blank entry gets added to the list. Here’s a screenshot from my existing Access GUI: I’ve been experimenting with ItemEditors and lists in Flex, but it’s just eluding me how to do this. I’ve got something sort of working, but it’s not sweet: HYPERLINK "http://thosmos.com/develop/bin/Tests.html"http://thosmos.-com/develop/-bin/ Tests.-html (right click for source) What I’m stuck on is 1. How to get the object from the combobox datasource passed back and added/updated in the data source for the selectedPeople list and make that the selected item. It seems to want to replace just the display field of the currently selected item, rather than the item itself. 2. when the user clicks on an existing selection, how to make the combobox start with that person selected rather than starting from the beginning. I realize this may be a vague question, but any kind of details, insight or general advice on an approach to take would be great. T No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
