Advanced Data Grid Column Grouping

When using column grouping with the advanced data grid, is it
possible to ONLY show the AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup headerText
and not have the extra row for the AdvancedDataGridColumn
headerText? For instance, if a have a set of 3 columns with a
spanned group headerText of "manage", and the columns have buttons
with the text "edit", "move" and "delete", can I just omit the
secondary headings since the "edit|move|delete" text is there on
the buttons and redundant as a column heading?

Advanced data grid and grouping

This is probably a basic questions, so hopefully someone will
know the answer. I have an advanced data grid that works find a
follows:
<mx:AdvancedDataGrid id="adgReportList"
horizontalCenter="0"
y="28" width="485" height="500" dataProvider="{reports}">
<mx:columns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Proposal Number"
dataField="PROPOSAL_NUMBER"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Report Title"
dataField="REPORT_TITLE"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Report Start Date"
dataField="PERIOD_BEGINING"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:AdvancedDataGrid>
So the data coming back seems to be fine. But when I try to
group the data as follows, nothing shows:
<mx:AdvancedDataGrid id="adgReportList"
horizontalCenter="0"
y="28" width="485" height="500"
initialize="gc.refresh();">
<mx:dataProvider>
<mx:GroupingCollection id="gc" source="{reports}">
<mx:grouping>
<mx:Grouping>
<mx:GroupingField name="PROPOSAL_NUMBER" />
</mx:Grouping>
</mx:grouping>
</mx:GroupingCollection>
</mx:dataProvider>
<mx:columns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Proposal Number"
dataField="PROPOSAL_NUMBER"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Report Title"
dataField="REPORT_TITLE"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Report Start Date"
dataField="PERIOD_BEGINING"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:AdvancedDataGrid>
Thanks for any help.

You're binding to it. Make sure it is bindable.

Advanced Data Grid Sorting / Grouping Collection

Ok, basically here's the issue..
I have an advanced data grid with a tree view. It goes two
levels deep
so:
Report Type
|-------------------- Company
|--------------------------------------- Report 1
|--------------------------------------- Report 2
|--------------------------------------- Report 3
|-------------------- Company 2
|--------------------------------------- Report 1
|--------------------------------------- Report 2
|--------------------------------------- Report 3
Report Type 2
|-------------------- Company
|--------------------------------------- Report 1
|--------------------------------------- Report 2
|--------------------------------------- Report 3
|-------------------- Company 2
|--------------------------------------- Report 1
|--------------------------------------- Report 2
|--------------------------------------- Report 3
etc..
Report and Company are Nodes (folders) and are being sorted
alphabetically by default.
The individual reports (Report 1,2,3, etc..) are not being
sorted in any way that I can figure out. I need to sort them by
date, but no matter what I've tried I can't get it to work.
I tried a SortCompareFunction on the advancedDataGridColumn
that displays each report, and it works *IF* I click the header...
but if I dispatch the header_release event via AS3, nothing
happens.
I even set up a test:
dg.addEventListener(AdvancedDataGridEvent.HEADER_RELEASE,heard);
dg.dispatchEvent(
new AdvancedDataGridEvent
AdvancedDataGridEvent.HEADER_RELEASE,
false,
true,
0, // The zero-based index of the column to sort in the
DataGrid object's columns array.
null,
0,
null,
null,
0
function heard(e:Event) {
trace("I HEAR IT!");
trace(e.type);
I set that up on a button so I can dispatch the event with a
click. Every time I click the button, the header release event
listener goes off, but the actual advanceddatagrid remains
unchanged until I actually click on it's header..
Any help would be *GREATLY* appreciated... I've been stuck on
this problem for two days now :(

Column formatting based on grouping data value- advanced data grid

Hello Everyone,
I am using advanced data grid to display hierarchial data nested upto depth 4. I have to color the leaf nodes conditionally based on the grouped column value.
Say for Eg.,
If the data is something like
Company
     Manager
          Jim          $4000
          John        $3000
     Accountant
          Smith     $2000
          Sam       $3000
I have to color Jim and John based on they being a manager. In other words, how do I get Manager and Company information for the leaf rows. The data is serial to start with and I am grouping it before displaying.
Please let me know how this could be done.
Thanks
Arun

Once htmldb.oracle.com is available again, you may have a look in my demo application:

In the tab section I, you will find several examples on pop-up pages. There this conditional
displaying is included as well.

Advanced Data Grid Grouping per Level

I'm new to flex, i'm using the advanced data grid component and i need to do different grouping for each level in the tree,i want to do right click and select which drill down is relevent for the specific level.

Advance Data Grid - Flat Query Array Collection To Grouping Collection Issue

Currently I have a Coldfusion CFC returning a flat query. The query is flat but returns data with four levels. For simplicity let's say Region, Territory, Title, and Person.
I place the data into an Array Collection in Flex and then use the Advanced Data Grid (ADG) with a Grouping Collection to create a hierarchy of Region, Territory, Title. At the lowest level of the ADG I have the Person data and that data is summarized up to the Region node. The problem I am having is that sometimes I do not have any person data but have data at the Title level that can be summarized up to the Region node.
For data where the Title does not have any Person information the Title node still can be expanded to show a blank Person row. How can I prevent blank Person rows from showing up while still maintaining the ability to properly show available Person rows?
Would using an XML Collection accomplish this?

Data grid within advanced data grid (Hiding and showing columns)

Hi,
I have a dta grid within advanced datagrid. When the row of advanced data grid is expanded, the datagrid opens up.
I want to control the columns of datagrid based on the value of a field in advanced data grid. I want to show all the columns of the datagrid if the field value of advanced data grid is "X" else I want to show only few columns of the data grid.
I will set the id for all the columns of the datagrid. Then I think I can write some code in a method to set the visibility of the columns and assign the function to item opening property of the advanced data grid.
Please give me some ideas.
Regards,
Mahee

Acually whenever i roll over the mouse on the column headers

collection as data provider which has source property bound to
ArrayCollection.The problem comes only whenever we take the mouse
over the column headers it throws this error and hangs.

Advanced Data Grid 3.4 upgrade? `

Hello,
There were some memory leaks with Advanced Data Grid 3.2 in an app that needs to run in a flash app.
I upgraded with the patch and re-wrote a column class. However, I read you could upgrade to 3.4 and it would help immensely.
I did this, but the Grid was not included as it is an open source download.
Do I just know the correct link? Is there something hidden on this site that I did not see?
Please help and Thank you!
Emma

Advanced Data Grid in Action Script

ok so I am now generating an AdvancedDataGrid in Action script as I will have dynamically created columns based on specific user
My grid code looks like this
private function generateGrid():void
var clms:Array;
myADG.dataProvider=gridData;
myADG.width=
this.parentApplication.adgPanel.width-20;myADG.height=
this.parentApplication.adgPanel.height-39;myADG.visible=
true;myADG.x=0;
myADG.y=0;
myADG.designViewDataType=
"flat";myADG.horizontalScrollPolicy=
"on";myADG.verticalScrollPolicy=
"on";myADG.lockedColumnCount=6;
myADG.sortExpertMode=
true;myADG.headerWordWrap=
true;
My question is this, in my MXML Grid that preceded this I hand this line
click="{populateChildren(adg.selectedIndex)}"
How do I add this functionality to my new AS Advanced Data Grid??
populateChildren is a function that allows me to set the specific row as an object and share amongst other other modules based on the grid selection.
        private function populateChildren(loc:int):void
          selected = Object(gridData.getItemAt(loc));
          this.parentApplication.populateChart(selected);
Thanks in advance for any help.

The complete sample code contains 5 WebService calls that populate List collections views.
Given these services are not exposed externally, I can't see how that would be more helpful it would actually cause more errors.
But as usual with being new to Flex and AS I have found the root of the problem....ME    it's always something so silly and easily overlooked.
myADG.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,populateChildren());
should read:
myADG.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,populateChildren);
and for completeness my function needed to look like this
private function populateChildren(e:Event): void
selected = Object(gridData.getItemAt(myADG.selectedIndex));
this.parentApplication.populateChart(selected);
completely back to operational again.
Thanks for taking the time to look into this a bit, sorry for the trouble, but at least I will recognize that error, I had never seen it up till now.
Thanks again.

Advanced data grid and SummaryRow

Hello,
I've gotten the SummaryRow to work in AdvancedDataGrids in the past for performing certain functions like sum or average... but for this specific instance I want to do a summary row on non-numeric values (approved or rejected).
For instance... lets say I have a GroupingCollection in the advanced data grid and I want to group by department (this is a 1 to many with dept having 1 or more employees). At that grouped level I want to show either "approved" or "rejected"... how can i show this next to the grouped department (not as another group below the department)? See my screenshot below of my output and how I could achieve this.

You're binding to it. Make sure it is bindable.

Advanced Data Grid Refresh Issue

I'm using an advanced data grid which displays data in a tree structure format (parents and child nodes). The advanced data grid is a child component within a VBox and uses customized column renderers. I'm running into an issue where the advanced data grid is rebuilding (calling all the renderers again) whenever I move the mouse (focus) into the Advanced Data Grid component. The ADG component is binded to a data object. I'm expecting the ADG to rebuild when the data object it's binded to gets updated. In this case the bindable data object is not being updated. Why is the data grid rebuilding and is there a way to prevent this from occurring? I'm getting mouse over and mouse move events but they are not causing the ADG to rebuild.
Thanks for your help !!!

Can you give us a quick code sample where we can reproduce
this issue?
Thanks,
Swaroop

Advanced Data Grid - Multi-Select

Good Day,
I am using an Advanced Data Grid to display data to the user. The user needs to be able to select multiple rows, and not necessarily in order. This is all fine, however, they don't want to have to hold the CTRL or SHIFT keys when selecting, and would like the mouse to act as a select/deselect for the row.
I know that I will have to extend the ADG class to handle this, but I was hoping that someone else may have done this, or has some guidance. I have never extended a class before, so I am not sure what all steps i will need to take.
Thanks!
Rob

sortExpertMode property
public var sortExpertMode:Boolean
By default, the sortExpertMode property is set to false,
which means you click in the header area of a column to sort the
rows of the AdvancedDataGrid control by that column. You then click
in the multiple column sort area of the header to sort by
additional columns. If you set the sortExpertMode property to true,
you use the Control key to select every column after the first
column to perform sort.
The default value is false.
So, this property simply changes HOW you do multi-column
sorting.

Ah! the delights of advanced data grid!

I have a xml hierarchical advanced data grid.
Is there a way to disable the folderIcons for the advanceddatagrid?
Or is there a way to integrate the folderIcon actions to selected row actions?
Right now, I have a listener for itemOpen. When one folder opens, then another one will close. However, when the user clicks on the folderIcon....it does not do this. I do not know how to access the expandeditem of the advanceddatagrid.
Thank you for your help!

* Also, the fonts are being embedded by css...when you click on the folder...the fonts jump while they are being propagated. suggestions?

That is a great idea...except I am using the selectRow to use these same events.
It seems what I need is access to the same selectedItem.
When I click on the row, I pass through _selectedItem from the event function.
However, it is a little bit more complicated for the drop down buttons.
I try to get the same format with this:
selectedItem=IHierarchicalCollectionView(adg.dataProvider).openNodes;
but I get an [object][object]
I found this bit of code on a site:
import mx.collections.HierarchicalCollectionView;
myOpenNodes:Array = new Array();
var HierColView:HierarchicalCollectionView = HierarchicalCollectionView(myADG.dataProvider);
for each ( var item:Object in HierColView.openNodes ) {
myOpenNodes.push(item);
myADG.dataProvider.openNodes = myOpenNodes;
