DYnamic data grid through ActionScript

Question

Hi...
I want to create a Data grid dynamically during runtime based
on some input through action script.
It will be helpful if some one can post me an example of how
to creat the data grid dynamically and use all its common
properties.
Regards

Answer 1

Please read the Flex 2 on the DataGrid class for the details,
but here's the gist:
var grid:DataGrid = new DataGrid();
grid.dataProvider = someCollection; // same as
dataProvider="{someCollection}" in MXML
// set other properties here
grid.setStyle( "alternateItemColors", [0xff0000,0x00ff00]);
// same as alternateItemColors="[0xff0000,0x00ff00]" in MXML
// set other styles here
var columns:Array = new Array();
var col:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn();
col.headerText = "Test";
col.dataField = "someField";
columns.push(col);
// create more columns
grid.columns = columns; // same as <mx:columns> in MXML
addChild(grid); // vital - without this your grid will not be
visible.
