I tried your suggestion (using selectedItems, since selectedIndices
is all but meaningless in a tree-view AdvancedDataGrid). Now the
problem is even stranger. I add a bunch of items from the
dataProvider into a new array. Then I assign the array to
selectedItems. By the next line of code, selectedItems is down to
just the clicked item, and the first item that was programmatically
selected.
// On click of a top-level item:
private function onGridClick(event:ListEvent):void
{
...
var items:Array = new Array();
// Preserve currently clicked items
for (var idx:int=0; idx<grid.selectedItems.length; idx++)
items.push(grid.selectedItems[x]);
// Add all of the clicked item's children to the list
var children:ArrayCollection = gridData[clickedItemIdx].children;
for (idx=0; idx<children.length; idx++)
{
items.push(children[x]);
}
// Overwrite selectedItems
grid.selectedItems = items;
// BUG: At this point, both "grid.selectedItems" and "items" contain
// only two elements: the clicked item, and the first of the item's
// children.
}
