DataGrid.itemRenderer Property problem

Hi newbie to AS3:
I have a DataGrid built dynamically with AS3 where
I need to change the color of a certain row.
I tried the following code but Its usage is certainly wrong:
cDtgc1.itemRenderer = cDtgc1.getItemRendererFactory(false,
BackgroundComp);
BackgroundComp is a class included is the code below.
How do I use this factory? The way I have it it is not
executing
Thanks.
Text

try:
cDtgc1.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(BackgroundComp );
for some alternatives try this:

  • DataGrid itemRenderer column problem

    I have searched high and low and have not found a solution so I'm hoping someone here can help me out.
    When I start up my application, my datagrid (one of the columns uses a itemrenderer) that column, displays everything but it spills / shows funky, then when I scroll some of them get fixed. I don't know exactly what causes this or how to fix it. The column I'm talking about is the "Like" column.
    If code is needed I will provide a pastebin link when requested, and I have attatched a screenshot of what the problem is.
    Any help / suggestions would be appreciated

  • Datagrid Itemrenderer scrolling problem

    Hi,
    I have a datagrid bound to an ArrayCollection. For one column
    I have a custom item renderer - which is a textbox.
    It works OK except when you scroll the rows and values get
    jumbled up randomly.
    I'd be grateful if anyone has any ideas.
    Thanks,
    dan

    Hi Keytree,
    Many thanks for the explanation.
    However i still can't get it to work.
    Please find the codes below and please check and advise if

  • Flex datagrid itemRenderer with different states

    Hi,
    I have a datagrid with allowMultipleSelection="true" & itemRenderer as my custom component. The custom component have 2 states "NORMAL" & "EXPANDED".
    Now on row selection the renderer should change its state from NORMAL to EXPANDED state. And if I am selecting multiple rows then all the selected rows should be in EXPANDED state.
    As soon as the selection goes the renderer should retain its NORMAL state.
    I am stuck. Please help me out.
    Thanks in advance.

    Use itemclick property of grid and it passes ListEvent  to the method given for itemclick. use selectedindices or selectedcells property in grid to find which are selected and change the states for the renderers of selected rows. U can get the renderer for the current selected row using event.itemRenderer property. Hope this helps.

  • Datagrid vertical scrollbar problem

    I wrote a search function for a datagrid component. The
    dataprovider is a ArrayCollection variable. If the item is found in
    the array, set the item to be selected in the datagrid. The problem
    is when the selected item is at bottom of the datagrid, the
    scrollbar doesn't refresh so I have to manually move the scrollbar
    to see the selected item. Here is part of my code:
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
    ......(populate accountData using dataservice)
    accountDS.fill(accountData);
    private function findAccountById(id:String):void
    var size:int = accountData.length - 1;
    for(var i:int = 0; i< size; i++) {
    var account:Object = accountData.getItemAt(i);
    if(account.accountNumber.search(id) != -1)
    dgAccount.selectedIndex = i;
    break;
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:ArrayCollection id="accountData"/>
    <mx:DataService id="accountDS"
    destination="accountlist"/>
    <mx:Panel >
    <mx:DataGrid id="dgAccounts" dataProvider="{accountData}"
    editable="false">
    <mx:columns>
    <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="accountNumber"/>
    <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="accountType" />
    </mx:columns>
    </mx:DataGrid>
    </mx:Panel>

    You need to look at the API for DataGrid. Particularly the
    property "verticalScrollPosition".
    The logic in your expectation that setting selectedIndex
    should update the scroll position is flawed. What if you selected
    an item with the mouse and then wanted to browse the other options?
    You would use the scroll bar for this. Your selection might
    disappear from the list but you would want it to stay selected.
    Thus the scroll position and the selected index are completely
    independent of one another.
    The point I am trying to make is this: you are required to
    set the verticalScrollPosition when you set selectedIndex if you
    want them to work in concert.

  • Problem with Datagrid itemrenderer with a Datagrid

    Hi all,
    I have this kind of a structure. I try to use a datagrid item renderer in a data grid column. However when I try to move rows inside the same datagrid I experience a problem. When my datagrid loads first it seems correct, but when I drag and drop a row in the same datagrid inner datagrids start to be drew in wrong rows. I checked the DB but there are no mistakes in DB records. Problem is with rendering. I suppose inner datagrids trying to draw to early or datagrid component is trying to reuse the itemrenderer. I could not find any solutions for that. Any help will be greatly appreciated..

  • Datagrid itemRenderer/itemEditor trouble

    I have a datagrid in a Flex project, the data grid has an XML file as the source (contents below), now due to the way it is formatted (I cannot change this) some of the data I want to display is inside a tag that isnt at the initial array level. Here is the file:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <Categories>
    <Category>
      <CategoryName>Cat 1</CategoryName>
      <CategoryLink>http://www.google.com</CategoryLink>
      <CategoryData>
       <CategoryDescription>This is the description of category 1</CategoryDescription>
       <CategoryHeader>My Category Title 1</CategoryHeader>
       <CategoryNumber>1</CategoryNumber>
      </CategoryData>
    </Category>
    </Categories>
    I need to display CategoryName, CategoryLink, CategoryData.CategoryDescription, CategoryData.CategoryNumber.
    Now I blindly dropped the datagrid into the project and bound it to the data source, I get the following returned for CategoryData:
    [object CategoryData_type]
    Not much use, but with what appears to be a hack I changed the code for the column to read dataField="CategoryData.CategoryDescription", and hooray it works. I didnt realise at the time that this was wrong, and when I dropped in an itemEditor things went wrong. When the datagrids load they display the correct data, but then when you try to edit any of the child property fields you get the following error:
    ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property CategoryData.CategoryDescription not found on valueObjects.Category_type and there is no default value.
    I have looked up the error and I realise that it means that there is no value for CategoryData.CategoryDescription, but if I can display it why can i not edit it! What do I have to do to make this work?
    Anyway, here is the code, it shows the default bound datagrid, a second datagrid with the hack applied, and a third hacked datagrid with an itemRenderer and itemEditor on the number columns
    Can you please take a look and tell me what I did wrong, well more to the point, if there is a doc that explains how to deal with XML like this then please point me at it.
    I did try changing the return type for ANY of the columns, but this fails, I also tried a labelFunction, but again I can get the [object CategoryData_type] to display, but I get the null reference exception as the datagrid loads if I try to get to the child props.

    One last try, I now know for sure that the data in the file is loading, I created a labelFunction on the CategoryDescription column that looks like this:
    protected function dispData(item:Object, column:GridColumn):String
        var t:Object = item.CategoryData;
        var s:String = item.CategoryData.CategoryDescription;
        return s;
    Because it returns s, which I now know is undefined (which is the problem!) I managed to get a debug output. As you can see the value of t is the categorydata, and it appears to have the 3 values I need to get access to, but I have no idea how to do this. I also changed the function to read:
    protected function dispData(item:Object, column:GridColumn):String
    var t:Object = item.CategoryData;
    var s:String = t.CategoryDescription;
    return s;
    But this undefines t and s! Very confused

  • Datagrid itemrenderer issue

    I have created a datagrid which has suppose 4 columns out of which 1 has an option of setting as favorite just like we have in our every mail servers (gmail, yahoo, outlook, etc). I have used a linkbutton as an item renderer and its toggle property as true. so wenever i click on it its getting selected and i have used skin for selected and normal state which is a star.
    The problem is that when data length exceeds and scrollbar comes in datagrid and whenever i scroll down and up the stars which are not selected are getting selected or in some scenarios the whole column stars get selected.
    How to get rid of this problem ?

    Can I see the itemrenderer code.  I'm assuming that you aren't clearing the values from previous objects in you
    override protected function set data( value:Object ):void call.
    Sincerely ,

  • Datagrid itemRenderer dynamic values

    While working on an application I came across the following
    problem. I've got a view with a datagrid, where I have several
    columns. Each column needs 2 values displayed beneath each other in
    one cell. You make an itemRenderer with 2 labels inside a VBox.
    Easy so far. However since this scenario repeats several times it
    seems counterproductive to make an itemRenderer for each cell. How
    can I make the text property for the labels change for each cell
    instead of being static in their values.
    Thx in advance.

    Your description of your requirements and your sample code do
    not paint a clear enough picture.
    Your dataProvider has 4 pieces of data: batchId,
    bookingNumber, valueDate, immsBranch. Your current itemRenderer
    references two of those pieces of data, and you say you want to
    reference the other two. You can do that easily like this:
    <mx:Label text="data.valueDate"/>
    <mx:Label text="data.immsBranch"/>
    A basic question: will your DataGrid have two rows for each
    set of 4 pieces of data? If so then I understand your problem. If
    not, then you must clarify exactly how and when you would like the
    4 pieces of data shown in your DataGrid.
    In any case, you probably need a Repeater, and then need to
    figure out how to get at the right data at the right time in the
    Repeater.
    See this FB 3 help topic and its sub-topics:
    Dynamically Repeating Controls and Containers
    Also search for this in the FB3 help to see the API:
    mx.core.Repeater
    You can define a listener for the Repeater for the Repeat
    event to specify processing for each iteration of the
    repeater.

  • Datagrid itemRenderer - Help needed

    I am having trouble getting this little bit of code working.  I am trying to build an adhoc SQL generator, where the user selects the list of fields and then is able to set the WHERE criteria in a dataGrid, each row has field, criteria (ComboBox -equals, less than, etc), Low (editable), High (editable-Text or ComboBox lookup), AND/OR static ComboBox.  Some of the field selections could be regular text based fields like Name and other fields selected could be lookup fields like State.  I would like to be able to on rows that are TextInput render out a TextInput for LowValue and HighValue columns and for lookup fields render out a ComboBox with the dataProvider being set by a call to addComboData.
    addComboData simply uses the myDataGrid.selectedItem.fieldname to determine which of the lookup table to use and assigns that collection to CBoxdataProvider.  Seems simple enough but I have not been able to figure it out, some modifications seem to work, but only for a single dg cell others give me a list but does not populate lowValue but kill all other renderers.  All help is appreciated.
    <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Low"  rendererIsEditor="true"  editorDataField="selectedItem" dataField="lowValue" textAlign="center">
    <mx:itemRenderer>
      <mx:Component>
        <mx:HBox horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" horizontalAlign="center">
           <mx:ComboBox  initialize="outerDocument.addComboData()" dataProvider="{ outerDocument.CBoxdataProvider }" labelField="Description" textAlign="left"  visible="{data.showCombo}" />
          <mx:TextInput id="lowLabel"  visible="{!data.showCombo}" />
       </mx:HBox>
      </mx:Component>
    </mx:itemRenderer>
    </mx:DataGridColumn>

    Setting the selected item is not the same as a click.  If you created the renderer correctly the style should change when you actually click on the item. (Does it?)
    Or are you just trying to get the first row's background to be a different style when the datagrid first shows?  (Initialization problem or not working at all?)

  • Datagrid itemRenderer custom component formatting

    OK, so this is my first attempt at an itenRenderer. This works below, but I have to imagine there is an easier way. There is also a problem with below, where the changed field (datafield=side) after the itemRenderer is applied, the text is all out of format, and there is a kind of selection on row one of that column. Obvisouly, though the translation is happening, I'm either overidding the wrong thing, or I'm doing something totally wrong.
    Goal..... Show in the datagrid, the three colums below from date provided from elsewhere. (This all works), but in the 'side' data it comes in, in raw form as either an 'a' or 'b' or 'both', and I'm trying to display that as something more user friendly. So when both is read it changes it to 'No'.
    Any help. This seems really easy, though I can't understanading hy my custom function screws with the cell selection, and formating?

  • Ellipsis (...) in dataGrid itemRenderer

    If you want a line of text in a datagrid cell to end with an ellipsis (...) when it's too long for its cell, you can set the column's item renderer to be "mx.control.Label" and that works. The entry looks like this:
    Here is my line of dat...
    But here's my problem.
    I have created my own item renderer which is an HBox containing an image and a label. But the label doesn't truncate with the ellipsis ... when the data is too long, it simply chops the end off the displayed text.
    So my question is this. How can I get the ellipsis ... to appear for the label in my item renderer? I'm using a datagrid with scaleable column widths so I can't set a fixed width on the label which would work, I know.
    Cheers,
    Neil

    Thanks for your suggestion.
    It didn't work but inspired me to play around with minWidth and maxWidth.
    What I eventually got to work was:
    maxWidth="
    {this.width-28}"
    ...on the Label in the HBox. I'm assuming that "this" here refers to the ItemRenderer.
    I had to put in the "-28" bit or it wouldn't do it. If you want more padding on the right of the ellipsis (so it doesn't hit the edge of the cell) increase the 28 to something higher. Use a lower value for less padding.
    Hope this helps someone else like it did me.
    Cheers,
    Neil

  • DataGrid - ItemRenderer - WordWrap

    I have added an itemrenderer to a datagrid to change the
    color of individual rows based on the value of of a cell. However,
    the problem I am having is this. The word-wrap no longer works for
    the datagrid. I imagine this is because I use a lable in my
    itemrenderer. I have not been able to find just a good solution
    that makes the cells look just like the normal datagrid, but with
    different colors.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Enclosed is the itemrenderer
