Actionscript 3 :: Get Column Index In Custom Itemrenderer For Spark Datagrid
Jan 16, 2012
I am trying to use the same custom renderer for all the columns in a spark DataGrid. I need to know the dataField or columnIndex based on which I can change state in my custom itemrenderer.
Earlier in mx:DataGrid, this can be achieved by extending the MXDataGridItemRenderer which implements IDropInListItemRenderer and hence dataGridListData property is available.
But using the spark DataGrid, I am extending the GridItemRenderer which DOES NOT implement the IDropInListItemRenderer and hence unable to access dataGridListData property. I have tried to write an action script class extending GridItemRenderer and implementing dataGridListData but flex throws an error in the set function of this variable.

I've got a DataGrid in my mobile application (I know, I know but there's currently not other solution for this), that numeric values. Depending on the value of a cell, the text gets colored. My big issue is that this doesn't work very for more than about 5 rows of data. I reckon the issue is that the set text function (in which I format the color) can't keep up with the amount of cell changes and formats the text based on the last updated cell of the row.I thought about a column item renderer so that the renderer only gets the value for that column, and not the whole data of the row.
Just for reference, this is my current item renderer (again, this works fine for few rows, for 5+ of fast changing data, this doesn't work any more, cells get formatted even though their data hasn't changed).[code]I just double-checked and have to revert my previous statement. A single row works fine, the second row already messes up the color formatting though. It seems as if the datagrid somehow throws together the values.
Doing the color formatting in the set data method shows the exact same effect;[code]My assumption about the grid messing up the ItemRenderer's data seems to be correct.A simple trace in the set data method (trace("old: " + _oldVal + "new : " + value[column.dataField]);) revealed that somehow, values of the next grid row (in case there are 2) get used as well as _oldVal gets the old value of the next row.

I actually wanted to create an itemrenderer which will contain below code :
<mx:HBox xmlns:mx="[URL]" width="0" height="0" >
<mx:Label text="{data.xval}" />
<mx:Spacer width="100%" />
<mx:Image source="edit.gif" width="16" toolTip="Edit" />
</mx:HBox>
Now when I click on the image datgrid column should be editable, for that I am using a textinput as an itemeditor. Now I also want to highlight all those cell for this datagrid column which are having data more than 8 characters. I am able to do this separately using 2 different itemrenderers. But I want to get this all together. Can we have multiple itemrenderer for any datagrid column?

I am populating 3 columns of my datagrid using a simple XML file. The last column is supposed to be an itemrenderer, basically a Button. However the button should appear only on certain rows of the 3rd column of the datagrid depending on the value from the XML file, which is either "true" or "false". So basically I want to set the Visible property of the button in the itemrenderer to true or false.

I have an item renderer tied to an mx:DataGrid column. The renderer used to be inline with the column, but I've moved it out to its own file so I can reuse it across multiple tables.
The problem is that now the renderer doesn't resize (grow/shrink) when the column is resized. So if the user makes the column very small, the contents displayed by the renderer just eat up space and show up over top other columns
Code for Item Renderer:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:MXDataGridItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"

have been working on an air app for quite some time and in one of my mx:lists i have a custom renderer written in pure AS (no mxml). it extends the listitemrenderer mx componenet. in it i have overrode the createChildren() function to add some children of my own.
now, fort right-to-left text i want in this itemrenderer, i would like to add a spark:TextArea component in this createChildren() function
is there a way to do so?
this is the itemRenderer:
import flash.text.TextField;
import mx.controls.listClasses.ListItemRenderer;

I have a spark datagrid with selectionMode="multipleRows".
I have three columns in the datagrid. I don't want the row selection to happen when the user's click falls on the third column of a row.
The row selection should happen only when one of the first two columns is clicked. How do I achieve this? There is a selectionChanging event for the datagrid, but the GridSelectionEvent object received in the handler does not seem to provide any information about the column on which the click happened.

I have a spark DataGrid component with several columns and I want to have my application default to descending order on the first column in the DataGrid. I would like to use the built-in default sort that occurs when clicking the top header once. I have no need to sort the ArrayCollection I'm working with or change what the comparators are.I also want any user-generated sorting such as clicking on a different column's header to override the default sorting.

I have posted two problems with a custom itemRenderer see this post. My primary Problem is, that it always selects a wrong line (one under the one I select). I now realized that this happens, when I save back the content of the itemRenderer to the dataProvider. If I code this part out, the dataGrid works as expected...

I'm having an issue with a custom ItemRenderer I've written for a DataGrid. With this ItemRenderer, it's possible that the contents could exceed the width and height of the DataGrid cell - and when this happens, scroll bars appear, letting me scroll the individual cell.What I would like, however, is that when the contents of the cell are too large, the entire DataGrid scrolls, rather than the individual cells.
Now, when I set the custom ItemRenderer's horizontal and vertical scroll bar policies to "off", I get the vertical scrolling on the DataGrid that I want (the individual cells stretch to accommodate the full height of the contents) but I don't get any horizontal scrolling. Instead, any content too wide for the cell is clipped. Incidentally, setting the DataGrid's horizontal scroll bar policy to "on" has no effect, the scroll bar gutter is drawn, but nothing scrolls Is there a way to force the DataGrid to scroll horizontally when my custom ItemRenderer's contents are too wide for the cell?

I use a flex mx:datagrid. I can set the headerBackgroundSkin to specify a skin or a picture to be displayed in all datagrid column's headers and it works just fine !
The problem is I can't find any way to specify a custom skin for the currently sorted column (doesn't matter if the sort is asc or desc, this is just to show the user which column is currently sorted).
I also tried to create a custom headerRenderer for each column but it is quite complicated and doesn't work very well.
I have been looking for the solution for a while but I can't find a good approach to do it. It sounds like a very basic need for me...incredible it is so complicated to achieve with Flex !!
I noticed someone was looking for the same thing few years ago but without success... [URL]

Firstly sorry for the really lengthy question. I am trying to implement an Org.Chart using spark DataGrid. The data for the Org.Chart does not change and hence I am hard coding the values. I had to implement this Org.Chart as I need to have floating Nodes and also the connecting lines should be drawn a bit different when compared to using an external component. Please find the following image of which Im trying to achieve: Here is the idea:

I have a Flex 4, mx:DataGrid with the following (pertinent) properties set:
width="100%"horizontalScrollPolicy="off"
I have the minWidth set on all of the DataGridColumns and the width set on one of them. If I simply maximize/minimize the display (in browser or stand-alone flash player) of the application, the columns scale up and down nicely. But if you grab the edge of the application and drag it to make it bigger, only one column grows really big. When you drag the size down again, the one column remains big, but all of the other columns get squished way down.

I have a datagrid with some custom renderrers and I'm just curious how I should approach the ability to freeze and always show the left 3 most columns at all times when scrolling left/right.
I thought that I might have to resort to 2 datagrids, side-by-side, the first showing the 3 columns that I want at all times, and the ability to scroll the rest. Only issue then I guess is linking the row selection to select that row in both and to tie the column sorts together...
Or would it be better to try and take columns 4+ and shrink their width to 0 as a person scrolls right, and then increase it back to the max width as they scroll left? Though that would cause funny issues to happen as the content of the datagrid would get smaller and smaller until you were 100% to the right and the scrollbar would disappear.

For poor performance reasons, the DataGrid will cache checkboxes and reuse them for different rows. If you have 50 rows, it won't create 50 checkboxes. It will create as many checkboxes at are visible, plus a few more for padding, and then reuse them as you scroll. This is why you need to explicitly manage their state. How can improve it ? How can fixed checkbox value ? i used checkbox like below But checkbox doesnot remembering the values

Is there a direct way to get the item index of the data inside an itemRenderer? I need to display the item number against each item. I am currently doing a workaround and won't allow reuse of my itemRenderer component.
var index:int = model.dataColl.getItemIndex(data) + 1;
itemNo = index.toString();
This is what i am using now, it works, but the concepts of component reuse and data abstraction are compromised.
I am using Flex 3.

i have a spark list component and a corresponding custom itemrenderer:
list component:
<s:List id="albumImagesList" itemRenderer="the.namespace.for.XYZImageRenderer" useVirtualLayout="false" width="400" height="160">
<s:layout>
<s:TileLayout requestedColumnCount="5"
[Code].....
it's all fine and dandy, the data gets populated correctly and i verified that the data.image_path property arrives safe and sound inside the itemrenderer.
my only problem is: the image is not displaying. i am not sure if it doesn't render at all or if it's just not visible somehow.

I'm trying to make a horizontal list of labels with a space in-between them (for use as part of a ticker tape).Labels outside of a list have a transparent background but as part of either the ItemRenderer or List, they get a white background. My assumption is that this is part of the default styling applied to a Spark ItemRenderer.Question - Is there any way to totally get rid of all default visual stylings applied to an ItemRenderer?

I'm writing a s:ItemRenderer to render some simple graphical components in my app. Each element can have multiple shapes that can be selected by the user, i.e. a certain element can be a square, or a circle, or a star, or whatever else.The simplest way I could think for doing this was to include all possible shapes in a s:Group and then manage their visible tag depending on what shape the user has selected. Is there a better way to do that? Also, if I encapsulate the group in a separate MXML component, how do I propagate the state of the itemRenderer (say "hovered") down to the MXML component that manages the shapes?Let's say you want to display three types of objects alternatively - the IR below with an AS snippet that turns visible to false for 2 out of the 3 objects definitely does the trick, but seems so ugly to me. In the mean time I found setCurrentState (stateName: String, playTransition:Boolean=true) to propagate the state down, so that's solved.[code]
