Stuff like that is being considered for the next release. If you want HTML Table, you should check out mx.containers.Grid. It doesn't do data-driven rows though, but you can do things with repeater, depending on how many rows you have.
There are some advanced datagrids available on these forums as well. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alberto Albericio Sent: Friday, March 09, 2007 1:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcomponents] Extending Datagrid Headers For me, a a good ( solid, loosly coupled ) approach would be something like this ( in the example of my first mail ): <mx:Datagrid <mx:headers> <mx:DatagridRow> <mx:DatagridColumnGroup columns="2" /> <mx:DatagridColumnGroup columns="2" label="Personal data" backgroundColor="#FFFFFF" sortable="false" click="..." /> </mx:DatagridRow> <mx:DatagridRow> <mx:DatagridColumnGroup columns="1" label="name" sortable="true" ... /> <mx:DatagridColumnGroup columns="1" label="value" sortable="true" ... /> <mx:DatagridColumnGroup columns="1" label="age" sortable="true" ... /> <mx:DatagridColumnGroup columns="1" label="money" sortable="true" ... /> </mx:DatagridRow> ... </mx:headers> <mx:columns> .... </mx:columns> </mx:Datagrid> So the idea is to separate the definition of the headers from the columns and tie columns with headers so that you can stretch them together etc Thats a first idea.... sounds like an html table? mmmmm Alberto Alex Harui escribió: > > You can draw in a background gradient by copying code from DataGrid, > but I would put a different kind of border around it.
