Never mind - variable row heights is the way to go here. -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Battershall, Jeff Sent: Thursday, April 24, 2008 7:12 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] PopUpButton as ItemEditor for DataGrid
I'm pushing the envelope in terms of how many editable fields are going to fit within the available horizontal space. The issue is basically how to open an itemeditor that is not constrained by the width of the column. So I've been investigating having a text field popup when in editmode that gives the user more space to edit, that will not be constrained by the column width. I've tried using a PopUpButton as the itemEditor and having the text field in there, but what I'm seeing is that if you doubleclick on the cell too quickly, an exception is thrown in PopUpButton.as - it appears that the _popUp isn't yet defined. If you click more slowly, there's no issue. I'm not that happy with the PopUpButton solution as the first thing the user sees is the button and has to click again to open. What I'd prefer is simply to have the itemEditor popup on its own without further user interaction. Ironcially, I've got a another column working perfectly when editing a list of items. But for some reason, my TextField editor popup is buggy and I haven't been able to identify exactly why.
