I have two classes (shown below) and I think the AdvancedDataGrid can
display it properly. Basically there can be EmployeeGroups inside of
EmployeeGroups..nested as much as you want. Each group also contains
Employees. I'd like to display these columns:Name (of group/employee) |
Dept (of employee) any help to get started would be great. [Bindable]
public class Employee { public var name:String; public var
dept:String; public function Employee(name:String, dept:String):void {
this.name = name; this.dept = dept; } } [Bindable] public class
EmployeeGroup { public var name:String; public var
parent:EmployeeGroup; public var employees:ArrayCollection; public var
groups:ArrayCollection; public function EmployeeGroup(name:String,
parent:EmployeeGroup=null) { this.name = name; this.parent = parent;
employees = new ArrayCollection(); groups = new ArrayCollection(); }
} Here is some sample data: var group1:EmployeeGroup = new
EmployeeGroup("Group 1"); var group11:EmployeeGroup = new
EmployeeGroup("Group 1.1"); var group2:EmployeeGroup = new
EmployeeGroup("Group 2"); var emp1:Employee = new Employee("Bob", "IT
Developer"); var emp2:Employee = new Employee("Bill", "IT Developer");
var emp3:Employee = new Employee("Jim", "IT Admin"); var emp4:Employee
= new Employee("Todd", "IT Admin"); var emp5:Employee = new
Employee("Bryan", "Sales"); var emp6:Employee = new Employee("James",
"Sales"); group1.employees.addItem(emp1);
group1.employees.addItem(emp2); group11.employees.addItem(emp3);
group11.employees.addItem(emp4); group2.employees.addItem(emp5);
group2.employees.addItem(emp6); // configure subgroups
group1.groups.addItem(group11); group11.parent = group1; groups =
new ArrayCollection(); groups.addItem(group1); groups.addItem(group2);
The output in the tree would look something like:
Name | Department
Group 1
Bob | IT Developer
Bill | IT Developer
Group 1.1 |
Jim | IT Admin
Todd | IT Admin
Group 2
Bryan | Sales
James | Sales
I've tried doing this so far to setup the AdvancedDataGrid:
groupColl = new GroupingCollection();groupColl.source = groups;var
gfield:GroupingField = new GroupingField("name");var grouping:Grouping =
new Grouping();grouping.fields = [gfield];groupColl.grouping =
grouping;groupColl.refresh();adg.dataProvider = groupColl;This just
gives me:
Name | Dept
Group 1
Group 1
Group 2
Group 2
Any help would be super!
