DataGrid Column Focus Out Event

I have an editable datagrid and I'm trying to accomplish the
following:
When a user edits a cell, then focuses out, a function is
called that sends off a service with that value, along with the id
value in that same item. I've tried using itemFocusOut, but I'm
getting bizzare results---the function is executing multiple times.
So i need the function to know what cell was focused out, and also
all of the other information that accompanies that item.
Thanks for any help.

Here's what I ended up doing.
Somewhere after Load, I added:
PropertyDescriptor pd = DependencyPropertyDescriptor.FromProperty(DataGridColumn.ActualWidthProperty, typeof(DataGridColumn));
foreach (DataGridColumn column in Columns) {
//Add a listener for this column's width
pd.AddValueChanged(column, new EventHandler(ColumnWidthPropertyChanged));
Then the following 2 methods:
private bool _columnWidthChanging;
private void ColumnWidthPropertyChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
// listen for when the mouse is released
_columnWidthChanging = true;
if (sender != null)
Mouse.AddPreviewMouseUpHandler(this, BaseDataGrid_MouseLeftButtonUp);
void BaseDataGrid_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
if (_columnWidthChanging) {
_columnWidthChanging = false;
/// whatever you wanted to do here
The ColumnWidthPropertyChanged fires constantly while the user drags the width around, so if you just listen to that, you'll be over-doing it.
Adding the PreviewMouseUp handler let me only do my processing when the user is done changing the width.
Hope this helps someone.

  • Datagrid column focus

    Hi,
    I got the column focus after create a row in my datagrid, now
    I want to
    create a general function for all my datagrids but I got an
    error
    Implicit coercion of a value of type void to an unrelated
    type Function.
    Looks like I can't pass my datagrid value in the function
    Tks
    JFB
    Here is my code
    callLater(focusNewRow(myDataGrid)); --> here is the error
    public function focusNewRow(tempDataGrid:DataGrid):void{
    tempDataGrid.editedItemPosition = {
    columnIndex:0,rowIndex:tempDataGrid.dataProvider.length-1

    That fixed the problem...
    Thank you Robert.

  • How not to sort datagrid column on double click

    Hello,
    I am currently building an application containing a datagrid for data representation. I've created a custom datagridheader in order to add a input text for filtering the columns (see code below).
    My goal is to hide the textinput, and then show it on a double click on the header. So i would like to know how to avoid the sort of this column each time i double click.?

    Based on your idea, i've intercepted the click event and I use stopImmediatePropagation.
    THen i added an image to sort the column. So if the image is clicked the sort is ok.

  • Datagrid column in module causing memory leak

    Hi All
    I'm having trouble with a DataGrid column preventing a module from being release properly. I can't imagine this is the intended behaviour.
    Using this simple test case, a WindowedApplication and an mx:Module I wonder if anyone else can reproduce this problem. The issue goes away if you simply comment out the GridColumn Instance.
    Can anyone offer any advice?
    Many thanks

    OK, So I've done some more testing. Creating the GridColumn in AS during the creationComplete event is a slight improvement. It seems to allow the DataGrid and the Module be GC'd, but it's still leaking memory somewhere. I just can't get my head around the Profiler. Also, it's going to be a massive headache if we have to rewrite our application to create all the GridColumns in AS. Surely this shouldn't be necessary?

  • Unsort a DataGrid Column

    short version:
    Is there a clever way to "un-sort" a datagrid column so the
    Column and Grid will go back to the original pre-sorted state?--not
    just remove the ability to sort.
    long-winded background:
    I'm using a ComboBox to toggle between report views (which
    are displayed in a DataGrid). I have 2 views: the All View and the
    Grouped View. The trouble I'm having is that once a column in my
    DataGrid gets sorted by a User (which is desirable) in the All
    View, then when the User toggles to the Grouped View the sort is
    still in place for the column (not desirable). Upon toggle (via
    ComboBox change event), I first clear out the DataProvider of all
    data, then I'm setting the "sortable" property of the individual
    columns and the DataGrid to be 'false' and then I'm repopulating
    the DataProvider with fresh data. The result is that the ability to
    sort the datagrid is indeed taken away from the User, but the new
    data still appears sorted by the column.
    dataAC.removeAll(); // ArrayCollection DataProvider to my
    DataGrid
    // Grouped View
    for (var j:int=0;j<graphDG.columns.length;j++) {
    var dgc: DataGridColumn = graphDG.columns[j] as
    DataGridColumn;
    dgc.sortable = false;
    graphDG.sortableColumns = false;
    ...// refill dataAC

    Hello feldt12,
    This will clear the sort:
    ListCollectionView(dataGrid.dataProvider).sort = null;
    ListCollectionView(dataGrid.dataProvider).refresh();
    Thanks,
    Philip

  • If myText.text == any value in a datagrid column

    Hey guys, in a simple form, I am trying to achieve what's in my title.
    I have a text box in which you type in a value (number).
    I have a submit button which inserts the value into my data-grid which  is populated by a data provider to display that information (ZendAMF).
    For my submit button function I need it to loop through all the  values(rows) in a column (my dataprovider) of my data-grid to check if my text box value  is equal to any of the data in the rows for that column.
    I found a function on another forum that should help me achieve this but I still cannot get it to work as I don't think I'm using the function correctly. Note the function is called "findItem()"
    Here is my example code:
    //I have a datagrid
    <mx:DataGrid id="myDataGrid"  dataProvider="amfcall.getData.lastResult}">
             <mx:columns>
                <mx:DataGridColumn  headerText="MyHeading" dataField="myDataField"/>
             </mx:columns>
    </mx:DataGrid>
    //I  have a form for adding data into the datagrid
    <mx:Form  id="addData">
        <mx:FormItem>
            <mx:TextInput  id="myText"/>
        </mx:FormItem>
    </mx:Form>
    //I  have a button to submit the form data by calling a function
    <mx:Button  label="Add" id="addData" click="findItem()"/>
    //I  have the function to find any item in the datagrid column that is equal  to the text input in the form. This is what I can't code correctly.
    public  function findItem(myDataGrid.dataProvider, myDataField:String,  myText.text):Boolean
         for each(var item:Object in  myDataGrid.dataProvider)    
              if(item[myDataField] == myText.text)            
                return  true;    
         return false;
    So I don't think I'm correctly typing the first line of the 'findItem' function as I'm currently receiving [I]1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before dot.[/I] for this line [I]public function findItem(myDataGrid.dataProvider, myDataField:String, myText.text):Boolean [/I]
    Also, the error does not change if I strict type those things to ':Object' etc.
    I may just be using the function totally wrong, can anyone hlpe me out?

    Hard to tell what’s going on from the information you are providing; but just looking at the first line of your sample code:
    Have you checked in the debugger to see what your dataProvider looks like?
    You want a resultHandler to set some kind of list – let’s say a previously declared AC, which then becomes your dataProvider for the DataGrid. Something like:
    private function amfCallResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void{
          Var someVar:ArrayCollection = event.result as ArrayCollection;
          blah blah blah;
          myDataProvider = someVar;    
    HTH,

  • DataGrid column width is not set properly

    Hi,
            In the below example I has called the OptimizeDataGrid method on Button Click event to resize the Column according to the data. First time of the button click event it called the function whereas the Datagrid Column width alone is not set properly.whereas on second time it is working properly.
    For Eg : In the below statement the text value is coming as 55 and widthPadding is comes as 25. but the sum of these two value is not in the dg.columns[col].width.
    dg.columns[col].width = text + widthPadding;
    But the same is working on the second time of the Button click event. is any help me out to resovle this issue. Thanks in Advance.

    With horizontalScrollPolicy="off" (the default), it is hard to control
    column widths because the columns are sometimes overridden to make sure they

  • Need help adding image to datagrid column

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me how to add an image to a datagrid column?
    I have created a flex library project which contains a mxml component with a datagrid, an item renderer mxml component which rendered the image within the datagrid column depending on the value coming back from the database for that column and a folder 'assets' which hold all the images. When I add the library to my main project and call the mxml component with the datagrid an image place holder is visible in the datagrid column but not the image. However, if I take the image out of the library project and added to an 'assets' folder in the main project the image is displayed in the datagrid column.
    It looks like, even though the images are in the flex library project and only the flex library project is trying to display the images in the datagrid, the library project is looking in the main application project folder for the image.
    Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
    Thanks in advance for an help,
    Xander.

    I have tried embedding the images in my library but it still didn't work. Also I can't embed the image as I'm using the value of the column to complete the image name, for example in my mxml item renderer component I have the added the following code
    <mx:Image source="@Embed(source='assets/' + data.mycolumnvalue + '.png')" tooltip="{data.mycolumnvalue}"/>
    but nothing is displayed.

    Dynamic DataGrid columns
    Example of how to dynamically create DataGridColumns
    A completely dynamic DataGrid example.
    This example uses the xml from the Flexstore example. It
    examines the first product node and uses that to create the
    definitions for the columns. There is some example logic to change
    the columns properties.
    It then instantiates the GataGrid and its columns array,
    assigns the properties, and then the dataProvider, and then adds
    the dataGrid to the application container.
    The example is fully self-contained, since a portion of the
    catalog.xml file is included in the mxml.

  • Adding a Tree into a datagrid column

    I have a requirement where I have to create a datagrid with
    one of the columns having a tree control. The problem I am trying
    to resolve is how to dynamically change the height of the datagrid
    column which has the tree when the tree is collapsed and
    dynamically increase the datagrid column height when the tree is
    expanded.
    Is is feasible ? Am I chasing a wild dream ?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated...
    Thanks

    Darin,
    Thank you for responding. I was able to get a tree display in
    a datagrid. I am going to attach all the code.
    The problem I am facing is, I need two clicks to expand a
    tree in the datagrid column so that both the tree to expand and the
    datagrid column to adjust its height. Let me know why this is so.
    May be, being a newbie, I am completely off the track here. Thanks
    in advance.

  • Setting the editable property of a datagrid column dynamically

    Hi,
    Im trying to set the editable property and renderer is editable property for a datagrid column to false on the creation complete event of the datagrid.But It does not work.While visible property works.why doesnt the editable property work.The particular column has a renderer which is a text box.and the editable property is set to false initially.Any Suggestions or ideas on how to achieve this will be of great help.

    Eu tenho vontade de estar devidamente por dentro de tudo isso.

  • Sum datagrid column values

    I am looking for a way (action script code?) to sum datagrid
    column values.
    I am using Flex2 with Cold Fusion MX7.
    I populate a DataGrid by setting dataprovider to the result
    of a Coldfusion query.
    (this.masterList.dataProvider = event.result as
    ArrayCollection;)
    This all works fine.
    The masterList datagrid has debit, credit, and unitcost
    columns. I want to sum those columns individually, and display the
    results in text boxes in another panel.
    I could run a Coldfusion query to return the sums, but would
    like to do it on the client side with action script.
    I want to sum them everytime I update the datagrid, so need
    action code that I can put in the result function.
    I am new to ActionScript, and not sure how to loop through
    the array collection(and/or) dataprovider and sum the items.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Loop through your array..if the arrayCollection was named
    myArray;
    private sumFunction():Number{
    var sum:Number=0;
    for(var i:uint=0;i<myArray.lenght;i++){
    sum+=myArray
    .debitValue;
    return sum;

  • How to bind each DataGrid column separately?

    Good day fellow Flex developers!
    Could you please help me out. I am trying to figure out how to bind each DataGrid column separately. I need to bind each column to a separate bindable array variable. Is there a dataProvider property for each DataGridColumn???
    Thanks in advance,
    Eugene

    hopefully nope
    just imagine code complexity for that feature?
    how would you think should behave DataGrid when you'll populate your separate arrays with variable items number each?
    all you are able and should do is to build composite dataProvider source, join all your separate arrays into it, this is your responsibility.
    If you feel this message answers your question or helps, please mark it respectively

  • How to make spark datagrid columns to behave like mx datagrid columns

    Hello.
    I have a problem with spark datagrid component. I can't force spark datagrid columns behave like old mx datagrid columns. In mx datagrid columns fills 100% of datagrid regardles of resizing column or datagrid itself (it will not show horizontal scrolling bar).

    the datagrid has sortItems and sortItemsOn methods you can use.
