DataGrid: custom ItemRenderer changes Header renderer

If I assign custom ItemRenderer to a DataGrid, this also affects headers, i.e. headers start looking as the fields in a grid. Not only that, but it seems that render is much worse and it really looks bad. Is this how it's supposed to be, is there a workaround to keep the headers as they should be and just change the actual renderers in the grid?

Post a bit of your code.
Sincerely,
Michael

  • Flex datagrid custom itemRenderer - making column NOT EDITABLE

    Hi all,
    I am new to flex and having been trying to build custom editors and renderers for datagrid. I ran into this problem trying to fix another one (http://forums.adobe.com/post!reply.jspa?message=3569216)
    The problem is :
    I have a custom editor and a renderer for a text column. The whole grid is editable (i.e; editable=true). But clicking on the cell does not show me the editor. However, if I change the renderer to mx.controls.label, clicking on it takes me to my custom editor.
    Can anyone please tell what I am doing wrong?? I am pasting the relevant code for more details.
    DATAGRID : Replacing  itemRenderer = "renderers.TextRenderer" with itemRenderer = "mx.controls.Label" makes the column editable

    Tricks I have tried and failed :
    1. added the following code to the renderer
       override public function get data():Object{
                                       return super.data;
    2. remove/change focusEnabled
    3. wrote the same renderer in Actionscript - making it extend MXDataGridItemRenderer. I had to add the label component txt using addElement. Clicking on this does show th editor but it doesnt show the label txt at all... i.e; I dont get any text displayed.
    I am using Flex 4.0 sdk.

    It worked!!!!!!! Thank you!! What you mentioned was indeed the problem!
    Here is the custom item renderer's set data function
    Before
    Now
    override public function set data(value : Object):void{
                      super.data = text;
                      this.txt.text = (value as Slide).text ; //txt is the Label control
    override public function set data(value : Object):void{
                      super.data = value;
                      this.txt.text = (value as Slide).text ; //txt is the Label control
    oh man, this is such a stupid mistake. I think I was confused with having three text properties - one inherited from MXDataGridItemRenderer, one in my txt Label control and one on my slide.
    I had no idea that sending the value up to the super class was so important. None of the docs I read seemed to give much importance to this statement.
    thanks so much and sorry for taking up so much of your time. I guess it is uncessary to post any more code.

  • Datagrid: Custom Itemrenderer

    Hello,
    my Datagrid consists of a variable number of columns that are
    handled by the same Itemrenderer. Now I have the problem that I
    can't find out which column I belong to when I am in the override
    set data function.
    Any hints how i can back track to what column the "current"
    Itemrenderer belongs or is processing at that moment?
    Thanks and GzG
    Nerun

    I had the exact requirement. Multiple columns using the same
    item renderer and needing to know what was clicked. Essentially I
    solved it in three steps.
    1. Override the datagid to add your own custom events;
    package com.psc.eis.view
    import mx.controls.DataGrid;
    import mx.events.ListEvent;
    [Event( name = "MyViewCurrentEvent", type =
    "mx.events.ListEvent" ) ]
    [Event( name = "MyEditCurrentEvent", type =
    "mx.events.ListEvent" ) ]
    [Event( name = "MyDeleteCurrentEvent", type =
    "mx.events.ListEvent" ) ]
    [Event( name = "MySearchEvent", type = "mx.events.ListEvent"
    public class MyDataGrid extends DataGrid
    public function MyDataGrid() { super()}
    public static var
    MY_VIEW_CURRENT_EVENT:String="MyViewCurrentEvent";
    public static var
    MY_EDIT_CURRENT_EVENT:String="MyEditCurrentEvent";
    public static var
    MY_DELETE_CURRENT_EVENT:String="MyDeleteCurrentEvent";
    public static var MY_SEARCH_EVENT : String =
    "MySearchEvent";
    2. In your item renderer create a click handler that
    dispatches the appropriate event
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:HBox xmlns:mx="
    http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    horizontalAlign="center">
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
    private function clickHandler() : void
    import mx.events.ListEvent;
    var event:ListEvent = new ListEvent(
    MyDataGrid.MY_EDIT_CURRENT_EVENT );
    event.itemRenderer = this;
    owner.dispatchEvent(event);
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:Image id="imageDelete" source="images/bluepencil.gif"
    width="20" click="clickHandler()"/>
    </mx:HBox>
    3. In your mxml for the datagrid setup the event handler
    <psc:MyDataGrid id="dataGridProjects" dataProvider="{. .
    MyViewCurrentEvent="viewCurrentHandler(event)"
    MyEditCurrentEvent="editCurrentHandler(event)"
    MyDeleteCurrentEvent="deleteCurrentHandler(event)"
    >
    That's it.

  • How to change header font style in Spark DataGrid?

    I'm looking since last week for a way how to change the font style of the header in a Spark DataGrid. It drive me nuts that I can't find a way to do this. Have anyone one an idea how to achieve it? Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    - Artur

    Hi,
    Some styles won't work because some text styles got hardcoded into the DefaultGridHeaderRenderer's Label. You'll run into this issue not just with the DataGrid headers but also things like the Panel's title and other places where we have text. One way to get around this issue is to create your own custom headerRenderer based on the default one and then redefine the headerRenderer skin part in the skin.
    First, create a subclass of the DefaultGridHeaderRenderer and tweak the "labelDisplay" to your liking (or even just take out all the styles and style it on your own as you had earlier using your custom header renderer's name). Example below (I named it "CustomHeaderRenderer"):
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <skins:DefaultGridHeaderRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                                     xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                                     xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
                                     xmlns:skins="spark.skins.spark.*"
                                     xmlns:comps="comps.*">
        <fx:Declarations>
            <!-- Remove fontweight="bold" and other styles as you wish
                 Must be a component and not a factory. -->
            <s:Label id="labelDisplay"
                     verticalCenter="1" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0"
                     textAlign="start"
                     verticalAlign="middle"
                     maxDisplayedLines="1"
                     showTruncationTip="true" />
        </fx:Declarations>
    </skins:DefaultGridHeaderRenderer>
    Next, create a simple DataGrid skin by creating a subclass of the  spark.skins.spark.DataGridSkin in MXML and defining a new headerRenderer  component in the fx:Declarations section. Example below (I named it "CustomDataGridSkin"):
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <skins:DataGridSkin xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                    xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                    xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
                    xmlns:skins="spark.skins.spark.*"
                    xmlns:comps="comps.*">
        <fx:Declarations>
            <!-- Must be a factory with the right id for the skin part -->
            <fx:Component id="headerRenderer">
                <comps:CustomHeaderRenderer />
            </fx:Component>
        </fx:Declarations>
    </skins:DataGridSkin>
    Last, assign your new skin as the skinClass of your DataGrid (either in MXML or as a style):
    <s:DataGrid skinClass="comps.CustomDataGridSkin">
    I know it's not pretty, but it's the result of trading off between having completely custom skinning vs. having knobs to tweak every style. Hope this helps.

  • How To Update Custom ItemRenderer (Image) on DataGrid Edit

    I have an DataGrid with 2 columns, column 1 called "Name" and column 2 called "Actions".
    The "Name" column contains editable text and the "Actions" column uses a (inline) custom ItemRenderer which displays 2 icon images ( for Edit and Delete). All works fine. Clicking Edit or Delete calls the corrosponding outerDocument method.
    The feature I am trying to add is as follows: when someone double-clicks on the text in the Name column to edit it, I would like the edit icon in the Actions column to ( grow/shrink, change color  - or some such indication/reminder to click it ). Not seeing how to do this with the inline ItemRenderer, I created a custom item renderer class and, in that class, use mx:Resize to perform the "grow/shrink". I created a method called "pulse()" and, from within that renderer, all works well. ( for testing, I wired the icons click event to the pulse() method ). However, now I am not sure how to call that ItemRenderers "pulse()" method to perform the effect from the main DataGrid (when the user double-clicks on Name field to edit).
    The tried using the DataGrid's "itemEditBegin", which fires correctly, but from that point I am not sure how to access the selected rows edit icon in the "Action" column. ( to call its pulse() ) method.
    So any suggestions how I can achieve my end result? Being able to manipulate the edit icon in the "Actions" column, when the user double-clicks (edits) that row's "Name" column?
    If I'm going about it all wrong, feel free to offer alternative solutions.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    ~e

    Hi,
      Check the  BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA ,in the BAPI  is there a table parameter EXTENSIONIN ?
    which you can use to pass the values for user defined fields to the BAPI..

  • DataGrid tooltip doesn't work for customized itemRenderer

    I have a DataGrid with one column is a customized renderer,
    when I try to use the dataTripFunc, it is not showing tooltips,
    same function works for the other non-customized column, here is
    the code:
    <mx:DataGrid id="myDataGrid" dataProvider="{dataContent}"
    width="100%" height="100%">
    <mx:columns>
    <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="name" headerText=""/>
    <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="DateTime"
    headerText="DateTime" showDataTips="true"
    dataTipFunction="cellDataTipFunc"/>
    <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="ImgBar" headerText="ImgBar"
    itemRenderer="ImgBarCell" minWidth="40" showDataTips="true"
    dataTipFunction="cellDataTipFunc"/>
    </mx:columns>
    </mx:DataGrid>
    public function cellDataTipFunc(item:Object):String {
    return "hello world";
    Where the itemRenderer -- "ImgBarCell" is a customized HBox
    component with a label and image on it.
    The tooltip -- "helloworld" shows up for column "DateTime",
    but not for customized ImgBar.
    Does this one have anything to do with event generation for
    customized itemRenderer? Or a bug in flex2?

  • Help with datagrid custom item renderer

    Hi ,
    I have a datagrid in which I have a column with a checkbox and a custom Checkbox header renderer and an item renderer.
    When I try to disable the grid the checkbox column does not get disabled?
    Is there any way I can disable the entire grid along with the checkbox column?
    Thanks.

    Override updateDisplayList on the renderer and set the .enabled to match
    owner.enabled.

  • Change of custom fields in header data

    Hi Experts,
    How to change of custom fields in header data in frontend SRM for Process PO transaction ?
    Help is appreciable.
    Thank You.
    Regards,Sunu

    Thank you for your replies.
    There is one custom field in header data called 'SDN Number' of our PO for example and i would like to change this from 'SDN Number' to 'Login Name' as the logic for taking the value for this field should remain the same. Only the display text should change.
    So, whenever i login into frontned SRM and process the transaction 'Process PO' i should be able to see 'Login Name' instead of 'SDN Number' in header data of the PO.
    Hope i reaced my query in clear way.
    Highly thanful for your replies.

  • A DataGrid with a Custom ItemRenderer

    Hi all,
    I have a DataGrid whose DataProvider is bound to a simple Array. I have a custom ItemRenderer that includes a button that can remove the item itself (I don't want two separate columns with a remove button in one of them). However, I don't understand the behaviour - clicking the button rearranges the data in the DataGrid and sometimes duplicate the entries! See the example attached. Any idea what's happening?

  • Items in Tree control move around when data is submitted using custom ItemRenderer

    I'm working on a Tree control with an XMLListCollection as
    its dataProvider.
    The dataProvider has information looking like this :
    quote:
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
    <INFO>
    <FIELD label="STR_USER_NAME"
    type="text"
    value=""
    >
    </FIELD>
    <FIELD label="STR_USER_EMAIL"
    type="text"
    value=""
    >
    </FIELD>
    <FIELD label="STR_OPTIONAL"
    type="branch"
    value="0"
    >
    <FIELD label="STR_USER_ADDRESS"
    type="text"
    value=""
    >
    </FIELD>
    <FIELD label="STR_USER_POSTAL_CODE"
    type="text"
    value=""
    >
    </FIELD>
    </FIELD>
    </INFO>
    So in the Tree control I'd like the information to show up
    with a label and
    an
    editable textbox for each item :
    [Label] [textbox]
    To do this I made a tree like this :
    quote:
    <mx:Tree id="userTree"
    editable="true"
    rendererIsEditor="true"
    editorDataField="curVal"
    itemRenderer="{new ClassFactory(ItemRendererUser)}"
    itemEditEnd="e_ProcessData(event);"
    dataDescriptor="{new DataDescriptorUsers()}"
    showRoot="false"
    verticalScrollPolicy="{ScrollPolicy.AUTO}"
    />
    where the e_ProcessData() function looks like this (I used
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=c
    elleditor_073_16.html#202105 as a guide) :
    quote:
    public function e_ProcessData(event:ListEvent):void
    event.preventDefault();
    userTree.editedItemRenderer.data.@value =
    ItemRendererUsers(event.currentTarget.itemEditorInstance).curVal;
    userTree.destroyItemEditor();
    userTree.dataProvider.notifyItemUpdate(userTree.editedItemRenderer);
    } // END OF e_ProcessData()
    I attached the rest of the files because they're a little
    bit longer.
    When I run the program, the data shows up fine when it is
    initialized the
    very
    first time, and I made a test button that just dumps the
    contents of the
    dataProvider in a trace statement to verify that the data has
    been set
    properly.
    The problem I've run into is whenever the textfield is
    edited, the item
    that
    I've selected jumps around the list.
    For example, if I edit the item "STR_USER_NAME" after I
    finish the edit, it
    will move from the very first position in the Tree to the
    bottom of the
    Tree.
    I traced the contents of the dataProvider and the
    dataProvider structure
    stays
    the same, with the "STR_USER_NAME" at the top, but if I look
    at the flex app
    in
    the web browser, its position is at the bottom of the Tree.
    This happens for every other item I try to edit... I read in
    the
    documentation
    that the ItemRenderers are recycled, so it means I should be
    checking to
    make
    sure the initial states are covered, but I'm not sure how
    this affects my
    application.
    Can anyone help me out with this ? Its very confusing - I've
    tried making
    an
    ItemRenderer using pure actionscript, mxml and the
    combination you see in
    this
    example and I always end up with the same behaviour - So I
    must be missing
    something critical...
    // ItemRendererUsers.mxml
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="
    http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    verticalScrollPolicy="{ScrollPolicy.OFF}"
    horizontalScrollPolicy="{ScrollPolicy.OFF}"
    creationComplete="initItemRendererUsers();"
    >
    From my FAQ:
    Q: I've created a custom itemRenderer component to use in a
    List
    based component (Datagrid, TileList, HorizontalList, etc.).
    When my List
    first displays, everything looks fine, but when I scroll it
    or change the
    dataProvider, some of the itemRenderers show values or
    formatting that
    aren't right. How do I fix this?
    A: List-based components don't draw a renderer for every item
    in the
    dataProvider. Instead, they create enough to display what is
    on screen now,
    plus one or two more waiting in the wings. This means they
    recycle the
    renderers rather than creating new ones when you change
    dataProvider or
    scroll up and down. When you use a creationComplete event to
    set up the
    itemRenderer, that event doesn't happen again when the
    renderer is used for
    a different set of data. The solution to this is to override
    the set data
    protected function that most components have.

    Your set data needs to set a flag that gets picked up in
    commitProperties()
    and does your thing that you were doing before in
    creationComplete. You
    should see examples of this in the links I posted. Instead of
    this:
    _data.@value = inputText.text;
    you should look at implementing IDropInListItemRenderer,
    which will allow
    you to dynamically determine which field to look at, instead
    of hardcoding
    it. You also might wind up overwriting the stored value with
    a null value
    when the List passes the stored value in. I'd encourage you
    to really go
    through those links I posted and make sure you understand
    what they're
    saying. The itemRenderer life cycle is one of the hardest
    things to
    understand, but once you understand it, it makes many things
    in Flex much
    easier. It's worth investing the time.

  • ComboBox with custom ItemRenderer

    This is my combobox where I am trying to have a custom renderer:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:ComboBox xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                    xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                    xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo">
         <fx:Script>
              <![CDATA[
              import mx.events.FlexEvent;
              import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
              import mx.controls.CheckBox;
              public var datas:XML;
              [Bindable]
              var ItemRenderer:ClassFactory;     
              override public function set data(value:Object):void
                   dataProvider = datas["sku" + value.sku];
                   ItemRenderer = new ClassFactory(comboBoxCheckBoxItemRenderer);     
                   itemRenderer = ItemRenderer;
              public function saveCheckState(evt:Event):void
                   var dataProviderItem:Object = dataProvider.getItemAt(dataProvider.getItemIndex(selectedItem));
                   dataProviderItem.selected = CheckBox(evt.currentTarget).selected;
                   dataProvider.setItemAt(dataProviderItem, dataProvider.getItemIndex(selectedItem));     
              ]]>
         </fx:Script>     
    </mx:ComboBox>
    This combobox is used as a custom itemrenderer in datagrid.
    Here is code for comboBoxCheckBoxItemRenderer:
    package modulecode
         import mx.containers.HBox;
         import mx.controls.CheckBox;
         import mx.controls.Label;
         import mx.controls.Spacer;
         public class comboBoxCheckBoxItemRenderer extends HBox
              private var action:Label;
              private var spacer:Spacer;
              private var checkBox:CheckBox;
              public function comboBoxCheckBoxItemRenderer()
                   super();
              override protected function createChildren():void {
                   // Call the createChildren() method of the superclass.
                   super.createChildren();
                   action = new Label();
                   // Add the child component to the custom component.
                   addChild(action);
                   spacer = new Spacer();
                   spacer.percentWidth = 100;
                   // Add the child component to the custom component.
                   addChild(spacer);
                   checkBox = new CheckBox();
                   // Add the child component to the custom component.
                   addChild(checkBox);
              override public function set data(value:Object):void
                   action.text = value.action;
                   checkBox.selected = value.selected;
    What's happening is that nothing is happening untill I drop combobox down in the grids. As the result checkboxes are not selected properly.
    Any help?

    How would I set up a custom itemrenderer to use data binding but properly have selected property in the following code:
    <<mx:itemRenderer>
              <fx:Component>
                   <mx:HBox width="100%">
                        <mx:Label text="{XML(data).action}"/>
                        <mx:Spacer width="100%"/>
                        <mx:CheckBox id="check" selected="{XML(data).selected}"
                                        change="outerDocument.saveCheckState(event);"/>
                   </mx:HBox>
              </fx:Component>
         </mx:itemRenderer>

  • Header renderer click handler not working

    Hi All
    Below is code of my header renderer which copied code from default headerrenderer and created new one, I added textinput with down arrow and close button,
    But when i click on close button, I am making filter box invisible, If i put a break point inside griditemrenderer1_mouseOutHandler() function then filter box becomes invisible, but while running in debug mode without break point filter box shows visible only,

  • Can't focus on custom itemRenderer?

    I have made a custom itemRenderer doubling as an itemEditor
    following the guidelines in the documentation.
    However, even though I have set the rendererIsEditor="true",
    when tabbing amongst other editable fields, the controls inside the
    itemRenderer do not receive focus. I can't help but think this is
    an oversight/bug but is there any way to jury-rig the itemRenderer
    to focus properly? At the moment my component is simply a CheckBox
    inside an HBox.
    Anyway, here is my code so you can see for yourself (I have
    included a CheckBox as itemRenderer so you can see the *desired*
    effect.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    </mx:columns>
    </mx:DataGrid>
    </mx:Application>

    nevermind... I found the answer a few pages later in the
    docs...
    you have to implement the IFocusManagerComponent interface
    and then override drawFocus as below to set the focus on the
    checkBox... hope it works for multiple controls...
    <mx:HBox horizontalAlign="center"
    backgroundColor="#9933EE"
    implements="mx.managers.IFocusManagerComponent">
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
    override public function drawFocus(focused:Boolean):void {
    check.setFocus();
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:Boolean id="blorch" />
    <mx:CheckBox id="check" selected="{data.bool}"
    change="blorch=check.selected"
    updateComplete="blorch=check.selected" />
    </mx:HBox>

  • Forcing custom itemRenderer to updateDisplayList?

    Hi, I'm new to flex, and was having some trouble.
    In my project, I have a DataGrid, and a
    BarChart->BarSeries. The DataGrid and the BarSeries share the
    same DataProvider. I've made a custom itemRenderer, so that I can
    click on Bars in the BarSeries and have them be highlighted in
    black. This is done by having the itemRenderer listen for a CLICK
    event, changing a variable that stores what color I want, then
    calling invalidateDisplayList() to have updateDisplayList update
    the display.
    Since DataGrid and BarSeries share the same DataProvider,
    elements in the DataGrid match up with elements in the BarSeries.
    Therefore, I would like to be able to have a user click on an item
    in the DataGrid, and have the associated bar in the BarSeries chart
    become highlighted. However, I can't find a way to get the
    itemRenderer to call updateDisplayList from outside of the
    itemRenderer itself. I thought that calling invalidateDisplayList()
    using the BarChart's id or the BarSeries id would force the
    itemRenderer for the BarSeries to call updateDisplayList() and
    update itself, but by using the debug feature, I have found that it
    does not do this. Does anyone have any advice for how I would be
    able to click on a DataGrid item and have it highlight the
    corresponding item in the BarChart?
    Thanks!

  • Header Renderer is getting Refreshed again & again...

    Hi ,
    I have a Advanced datagrid and I am using Header Renderer in a component for the same.. eg.

    {dataProvider}"
    height=" 
    100%"

     <mx:VBox horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" implements="
    mx.controls.listClasses.IDropInListItemRenderer" 
    >
    </mx:component>
    I have few components in my header renderer , & on basis of header text I am setting the visibility of components.
    My components are Combo boxes & Text Box...
    When i select any I tem from combobox Its not able to retain  the label to selectedItem for more that 30 secs....
    but i want it to be retain till I change the selection....
    Same is the case with text box It keeps the value for 2-3 seconds & clears the entered value
    What could be the possible solution?
