[flexcoders] Combobox to show table columns?

[cox.blair]

Just wonder if anyone has a trick to dynamically populate a combobox
with the column labels of a table or XML source. I seem to only manage
to retrieve the values of the rows, not the actual column name. I know
I manually list them, but this defeats the purpose if the table were
to change.

Ex. So instead of showing the value ALB_RLU, I want ALB_RLU to be a
selection in the combobox.

response
#8722;
data
#8722;
row
idATP_Calc82/idATP_Calc
UC1/
ALB_RLU33321./ALB_RLU
ALB_ATP213213./ALB_ATP
ALC_RLU213./ALC_RLU


Thanks,

Just walk the children() and pull the name() and add it to an array

mx:Combobox dataprovider={myGrid.columns} labelField=headerText/

Will probably do it. Depending on what's bindable you might have to simply
walk the datagrid.columns array.

But if you're dynamically creating the columns, why not simply include the
code to build your list of values for CB options at the same time?
