I do this right now and I use the popupmanager. You'll just call another mxml component with the extended information then call the popupmanager using the click() event for the datagrid.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/managers/PopUpManager.html http://blog.flexexamples.com/category/popupmanager/ You have two choices for the CF data, you can either pass it to the window or make the detail call within the "detail component".mxml. I personally try to keep the data calls within the components that are displaying the data. sj ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of ballofmagic Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 12:04 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Click Datagrid row - Custom class popup window showing database values? I appreciate everyone's assistance thus far in answering my questions. We've got a lot of experts in this group! Is there a customized popup window class that databinds with a datagrid row so when a user clicks the row, the pop up window displays not only what's visible in the datagrid (limited to 2 or 3 columns) but most, if not all, the database row data?
