Flex :: Get Changed Value Of Item From ItemRenderer In List?
Jun 22, 2011
I have a List with textInput as itemrenderer. Initially the list is loaded with data from a data provider. However since the items are rendered in textInputs, I have the ability to change the value of a particular item.
But when trying to access the value of the changed item using the function below, I still get the old value in my trace:
private function addItem(event:Event):void {
trace(myDataProvider.getItemAt(myList.selectedIndex).label);
}
what I need to do for the new value to be available. My itemrenderer is shown below:
I want to set the BorderColor of certain Item Renderers (textInput) of a List. By default all have a common border color, but I want for example when clicking in an item to have a red border. I tried this on a click event in my itemRenderer,
I'm creating a mobile app in which I need to show a calendar with months at the top. The months are part of a component that extends from SkinnableDataContainer (and has some custom scrolling/behaviour - which is why I did'nt use a spark list). I need the months to be shown as a 'trapezium' shaped tab and so I'm using a png image as a mask in the item renderer for the component.
When the mask is not applied, it all works well - the months render, the list/data container selection works when I click on a month and so on.When the mask is applied, it renders well, scrolling and everything else seems to work well - but when I click on a month, nothing happens visually. And from the trace statements in my code, it appears list item selection is not changing. Looks like mouse clicks are not working.
Code:
public class TopCalendarMonthRenderer extends LabelItemRenderer { [Embed(source="/assets/trapezium_alpha.png")] private static var TrapeziumMask:Class; private static var trapeziumMaskInstance:BitmapAsset;
I have a TileList with thumbnail images. Under each thumbnail images I display the name of the image. I want to build rename functionality. So under the TileList is a "Rename selected image" button.
When this button is clicked, I would like to change the state of the itemRenderer component. The label underneath the image will change into a TextInput so that the user can type a new name. This is much like the Windows rename file functionality.
How can I access the itemRenderer of the selected image? How can I make it happen that it listens to the click event of the Rename button?[code]...
Anyone know how to change a single instance of an item renderer for a Flex tree item at runtime? To reiterate, I'm not trying to change the entire tree's item renderer like this:tree.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(ItemRenderer2);I'm trying to change the item renderer of a single tree item like this (the following code does not work):tree.selectedItem.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(ItemRenderer2);To put it more simply, does anyone know how to reference an instance of an item renderer and set it to a new item renderer class? I've tried using the Tree's itemToItemRenderer() method with no success.
I have a Flex list and a custom ItemRenderer. I'd like to be able to have some items in the list use a different ItemRenderer (say, depending on the class of the item). Is this possible?
I need to detect when a Flex Spark List (spark.components.List) data has changed so that I can programmatically change its scrollbar. I know that List is a an EventDispatcher but it's unclear which event I'd register for.
Edit: My List's dataProvider is an ArrayCollection that elements are added too. So the dataProvider is never replaced. I considered listening to the backing ArrayCollection, but it's possible the List will react to the change after my listener, which alters the scrollbar. Thus my listener's changes will be superseded by that of the List.
I'm creating a list of scores for a game. now most of the list i need to have the same ItemRenderer. but in one specific row of the list where the user who's playing is listed, it should show different information and with different background color. how can i achieve this ?
I already tried to resolve the issue with states, i created 2 states, one state called 'mine' and the 2nd state called 'others'.
the problems that i got is that when users click on one of the list rows that state changes to i donno clicked or something and that's why i assumed that states are not the right action for me.
i am using an itemRenderer in mx:list, it has many text fields and combos, i use this item renderer to edit items in array collection, each item in the arrayCollection is of type Action which comes from BlazeDS remoting as a valueObject.my problem is when i add new item of type Action to the list dataProvider (ArrayCollection) by this code
myList.dataProvider.addItem(new Action());
the new item tooks the same data from its previous item.
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'm using a custom itemrenderer to display a list of photos and need to know how to control the width. At the moment it does this: Which, as I'm sure you'll agree, is eye-bleedingly ugly. The list is created like this:
In Flex I can create an ItemRenderer to represent each item in the Lists DataProvider but how do I access the instance of the ItemRenderer via the DataProviders Object? Something like myList.getItemRenderer(dp.getItemAt(10));
I have a list that uses a checkbox itemrenderer. The dataprovider is a collection of people. When I load the data from a file, each list item shows the person's name (last, first -- labelFunction), and the checkbox's selected property shows the person's included property. I.e.,Smith, Doug - [x]Williams, Bob - [ ]orris, Anne - [x]However, each person also has an active property. I want to disable the checkbox for people who are inactive (meaning, "you can't include inactive people").to do the same thing in a datagrid. However, none of them work and all the checkboxes are enabled regardless of the person's active status. Here is my basic code:
The values in the array object indicate name of group,minimum,maximum and current value for the group (to be used in progressbar).I used the list with "mx.controls.ProgressBar" as itemRenderer as
Now what I need is whenever currentValue field of Array "arr" changes i want to update the progressbar "progress" value to currentValue (where min and maximum value of progressbar are stored in Array "arr").
I've wrote a custom itemrenderer for a List component (Flex 3.5) which is a VBox with a Label and a TextArea wrapped inside. All works fine so far but I want the TextArea in the first itemrenderer to receive focus so that it instantly becomes editable when tabbing onto the List. Is that possible and if how would I achieve this?
I've already added an event listener that selects the item at index 0 but the textArea in it should also be focussed at that moment _list.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, onListFocusIn);
private function onListFocusIn(e:FocusEvent):void { _list.selectedIndex = 0; }
I am using a spark list control with an itemrenderer. Whenever I set an itemrenderer's currentState, the moment I mouse out of the itemrenderer, it gets reset to its default state. How can I make an itemrenderer keep its currentState unless I explicitly tell it to change?
The thing is, if I scroll the list, and click on an item, it does not trace 'arthur' ! Why is this so ? I must trace that all the time that someone clicks in the list!
EDIT: If I remove change="model.selectSet( productSetList )" in the list, it works!! but I cannot remove that, some suggestions ? How can I switch that to another function?
Objective:I would like to pass Skins to an itemRenderer (which is a Button) of a List, and be able to skin every button in that List.This is what I have:
I have a list inside a VDividedBox. When the box is resized so the vertical scrollbar shows on the list, it covers some of the itemrenderers. How do I get the list to resize horizontally so that the scrollbar does not cover the renderers?
I have a main application that contains a list, using a custom itemRenderer to display data.
I would like to be able to call a function, inside the itemRenderer, from the main application.
When running the app, we have a list with three persons, and a button. I want to call the function myItemRendererFunction() inside the itemRenderer, of the selected item in the list, all this, from the main app.
I have two spark lists and want to drag items from one list to the other. When im dragging an item and over the other list item, i want the target item to change the background coloer.Basically instead of showing the black line indicating that I will drop between elements, I want to see the target item highlight.
I have a list of objects containing an icon, a label, and a tooltip. I want to show only the icon and the label. The tooltips should be visible on mouse over an item.
Is there a way i can achieve this without writing my own mouse-over/out functions?
(notice that dataTips are a different thing as they are displayed only when the label is cut)
I have a List with an item renderer and would like to enable drag-and-drop onto the items in the list, rather than adding the data to the list. Is it possible to find the item that is being hovered over when dragging?
How do I wordwrap in a spark list w/ an itemrenderer? This posting at[URL] works 100% but when I try to set a separate item renderer, I can't get the word wrapping...instead, I get an ugly horizontal scroll bar. HEre is my mxml:
When would you want to use removeAll() vs just new ArrayCollection when you want to clear an array collection. Remove all iterates though each item in the list. I can't see a case when I would want to use it.
