Nevermind...I got it working with this...
[unless there is a more elegant way?]
keyUp="myKeyUpHandler(event)"
public function myKeyUpHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
if (!event.ctrlKey && !event.shiftKey)
{
filterSelected();}
}
public function filterSelected():void {
riskDP.filterFunction = processSelectedFilter;
riskDP.refresh();
}
public function processSelectedFilter(item:Object):Boolean {
var result:Boolean=false;
for ( var i:String in riskDG.selectedItems) {
if(item.Number == riskDG.selectedItems[i].Number){
result = true;
}
}
return result;
}
