[flexcoders] AdvancedDataGrid custom cell renderer problem

[thomas nordahl]

Hi

I have a huge problem.

I am making a type of a ganttChart and im trying to do it like this.

I get an Array from server containind calendar data.
then i get a array from server containing info about projects.

then I create an Advanced datagrid and compare the two arrays and if there
is a mach in day.id and project .id I want to ad an UIComponent in that
cell.

is this possible?

here is the function for creating the grid

& the itemRenderClass

private function createGrid():void{
            gridArray = modelLocator.currentArray;

            var projectGroup:Array = new Array();
            var weekGroups:Array = new Array();
            var weekGroup:TrafficGridColumnGroup;

            var projectsGroup:TrafficGridColumnGroup
            var projectColumn:TrafficGridColumn;

            projectsGroup = new TrafficGridColumnGroup();
            projectsGroup.editable = true;
            projectsGroup.headerText = ("Username: ");
            projectsGroup.minWidth = 140;

            projectColumn = new TrafficGridColumn();
            projectColumn.headerText = "Projects";
            projectColumn.dataField = "name";
            projectColumn.width = 140;
            projectColumn.editable = true;

            projectsGroup.children.push(projectColumn);
            weekGroups.push(projectsGroup);

            for each (var week:Array in gridArray){
                weekGroup = new TrafficGridColumnGroup();
                weekGroup.headerText = ("Uke: "+week[0].week);
                weekGroup.editable = true;
                weekGroup.minWidth = 50;
                weekGroup.children = [];
                weekGroups.push(weekGroup);

                for(var i:uint = 0 ; i < week.length; i+=2){

                    dayName = getShortVersionOfDayname(week[i].dayname);

                    if(dayName != "Lør" && dayName != "Søn"){

                        dayColumn = new TrafficGridColumn();
                        var
dayDescription:AdvancedDataGridRendererDescription = new
AdvancedDataGridRendererDescription();
                        dayDescription.rowSpan = 1;

                        dayColumn.editable = true;
                        dayColumn.itemEditor = new ClassFactory(TextInput);
                        dayColumn.headerText = dayName;
                        dayColumn.minWidth = 35;
                        dayColumn.id = week[i].id;
                        //dayColumn.labelFunction = displayPersonInfo ;
                        dayColumn.itemRenderer = new
ClassFactory(ProjectRender);
                        dayColumn.styleFunction = myStyleFunction;
                        dayColumn.labelFunction = dayColumn.setLabel;

                        weekGroup.children.push(dayColumn);
                    }
                }
            }
             trafficGrid.groupedColumns  = weekGroups;
        }
