How do I allow the user to select multiple rows (by holding down CTRL
or SHIFT) and when they are done making selections, fire an event to
execute a filterfunction within the same ADG?
I'm trying to allow the user to filter down a grid data to only show
all the rows they just selected.
With the ADG selectmode=multipleRows and allowMultipleSelection =true,
this works fine in the ADG without the event.
If I use the change event, it filters the data down to only the first
row selected. I need it to wait until all row selections are made...so
change doesn't appear to be the correct event to use.
I've tried the ADG's keyUp KeyboardEvent
keyUp="myKeyUpHandler(event)"
public function myKeyUpHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
if (event.ctrlKey || event.shiftKey)
{
filterSelected();
}
But, event.ctrlKey being released always traces as false and it never
runs my filter???
Is using the keyboardevent on keyup the best way to do this? Why
doesn't it detect ctrlKey or shiftKey release?
I thought there might be a built-in ADG way to filter down a
dataProvider to only show the selected rows. Don't know.
In my case, The user runs reports but wants to only show selected
items in the report. My filter below works, but I need to pass all
selectitems items to it when the user is done.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Don
public function filterSelected():void {
riskDP.filterFunction = processSelectedFilter;
riskDP.refresh();
}
public function processSelectedFilter(item:Object):Boolean {
var result:Boolean=false;
for ( var i:int=0; i <
riskDG.selectedItems.length; i++ ) {
if(item.Number ==
riskDG.selectedItems[i].Number){
result = true;
}
}
return result;
}
