Title: RE: [flexcoders] Sort arrows in DataGrid





Hi
 
sorry 
, i though there is a general problem that i missed here is the 
code..
 
ChangesGrid.mxml

 
 
 
  
 

 ChangesGridViewHelper.as -  it does not matter where i placed 
the following code , i tried putting it in grid initialize /helper 
constructor/ WS populating method .
.
 
function initGrid(){
 
    view.RFCViewer.sortArrow._visible = 
true;    view.RFCViewer.sortDirection  =  
"ASC";    view.RFCViewer.sortItemsBy("createdTimeStamp", 
"ASC")    
view.RFCViewer.placeSortArrow();
}
 
thanks
 
Shlomi

Actually, the sortDirection

Please check livedocs
(http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/asdocs_en/). In DataGrid docs
you will find the "sortArrow" property. I think, FlexBuilder's
documentation also have Flex 1.5 ASDocs.
 
Sorry, you are having trouble. But most of these things have been
discussed in past, not sure why archives are not showing. But you can
also search yahoo groups archives.
 
We appreciate your feedback on our products and documentation. Please

My project's deadline is coming up way too fast, and the holes in the
documentation cost me many hours each week!

I'm just hoping things continue to improve... I know it is only version

Hi,

You can get the reference of sort arrow using:
dataGridInstance.sortArrow

To hide arrow: 

dataGridInstance.sortArrow._visible = false;

To show arrow: 

dataGridInstance.sortArrow._visible = true;

You can use dataGridInstance.placeSortArrow(..) method to show
arrow on
column that is the current sortIndex.


To sort a column( or set the sortIndex) you can call:

dataGridInstance.sortItemsBy(fieldName, order) :  Void 


To determine current sorting order,  use
dataGridInstance.sortDirection
property. It returns either 'DESC' or 'ASC

Subject: [flexcoders] Sort arrows in DataGrid

Is there a way to set the sortIndex of a datagrid manually, or
to  
manually clear the sort arrow? I have a DataGrid which allows
things  
to be dropped in to it at arbitrary locations, which would
change it  
to unsorted, but I can't figure out how to remove the sort arrow
in  
the header to reflect the unsorted state.

Also, is there a way to determine what the current sort order of
a  
column is? It seems like each column keeps its own sort
direction  
separately, so I've had luck just keeping my own array for sort
order  
flags, but there is a chance that the two separate records will
get  
out of parity, given the above case.

Keep in mind that I'm doing entirely custom sorting of the
datagrid's  
provider on the headerRelease event. (by setting  
sortableColumns="true" on the grid, and sortable="true" and  
sortOnHeaderReleas

RE: [flexcoders] Sort arrows in DataGrid

2005-07-02 Thread Abdul Qabiz
Hi,

You can get the reference of sort arrow using:
dataGridInstance.sortArrow

To hide arrow: 

dataGridInstance.sortArrow._visible = false;

To show arrow: 

dataGridInstance.sortArrow._visible = true;

You can use dataGridInstance.placeSortArrow(..) method to show arrow on
column that is the current sortIndex.


To sort a column( or set the sortIndex) you can call:

dataGridInstance.sortItemsBy(fieldName, order) :  Void 


To determine current sorting order,  use dataGridInstance.sortDirection
property. It returns either 'DESC' or 'ASC

All these things have been discussed in past. Please search the archives
with appropriate keywords to find those threads.

Subject: [flexcoders] Sort arrows in DataGrid

Is there a way to set the sortIndex of a datagrid manually, or to  
manually clear the sort arrow? I have a DataGrid which allows things  
to be dropped in to it at arbitrary locations, which would change it  
to unsorted, but I can't figure out how to remove the sort arrow in  
the header to reflect the unsorted state.

Also, is there a way to determine what the current sort order of a  
column is? It seems like each column keeps its own sort direction  
separately, so I've had luck just keeping my own array for sort order  
flags, but there is a chance that the two separate records will get  
out of parity, given the above case.

Keep in mind that I'm doing entirely custom sorting of the datagrid's  
provider on the headerRelease event. (by setting  
sortableColumns="true" on the grid, and sortable="true" and  
sortOnHeaderRelease="false" on the columns)

Thanks,
Sean
