Filtering of Grouped data in Advanced DataGrid

I want to display the Hierarchical Data (groped data) in
Advance DataGrid and at the same time I want the filtering
functionality as well. The problem is if I want grouped view then I
have to provide GroupingCollection to the dataprovider ( that has
no filterFunction type functionality ).
Is there any way to solve this issue?

You have to call adg.validateNow() after assigning the
GroupingCollection as dataProvider to the AdvancedDataGrid and
before applying the filterFunction.
It should be like -
adg.dataProvider = gc;
adg.validateNow();
IHierarchicalCollectionView(adg.dataProvider).filterFunction
= filterFunc;
IHierarchicalCollectionView(adg.dataProvider).refresh();
Note: The filter function will be applied to group rows
also.

Grouping of Data in Advanced Datagrid

Hii,
I need to group the data in advanced datagrid. I used the Grouping collection class, but it it not working.
My advanced datagrid has column groups...so will this have any impact on grouping.
Thanks!!
Vikas

Assuming that the table (say WALK_IN_PER_LOG) that you have has atleast the following two columns
walk_in_date DATE -- holds date time stamp
dob DATE -- holds date of birth
SELECT TO_CHAR(walk_in_date,'WW')| |'-'| |TO_CHAR(walk_in_date,'DAY') "Week#-Day"
,TO_CHAR(TRUNC(TO_CHAR(walk_in_date,'HH24')/02),'09')| |'-'| |
TO_CHAR(TRUNC(TO_CHAR(walk_in_date,'HH24')/02)+2,'09')
,COUNT(*)
FROM walk_in_per_log
WHERE MONTHS_BETWEEN(SYSDATE,dob) > 18*12
GROUP BY TO_CHAR(walk_in_date,'WW')| |'-'| |TO_CHAR(walk_in_date,'DAY')
,TO_CHAR(TRUNC(TO_CHAR(walk_in_date,'HH24')/02),'09')| |'-'| |
TO_CHAR(TRUNC(TO_CHAR(walk_in_date,'HH24')/02)+2,'09')
PS I might have complicated the query a little in trying to get the formatting as you had requested but the principle is simple
First group by the day, so that all events of one day can be compared together, then extract the hour portion of each of those dates and divide by 2 and use the quotient of the division as a grouping factor.
eg
from hours
00-02 the quotient is 0 (2 is taken as 1:59:59)
02-04 the quotient is 1 (4 is taken as 3:59:59)
and so on
hope this helps....

Removal of grouping icon on advanced datagrid

Hi
Is it possible to remove the folder icon when you having grouping on the advanced datagrid? I ve done some googling but cant find a solution.
Cheers

Hi, Nicky
u can solve this problem by grouping function.
u create ur dataprovider like
private var myData:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([{data1:1, data2:10,......},
{data1:1, data2:21, ....}]);
u declare the grouping function in following manner
private function myGroupLabelFunction(item:Object, column:AdvancedDataGridColumn):String
// here u write ur logice to formatting ur dispalying data in advance grid.
//suppose ur labelfield of datagrid are data1,data2, data3 respectively.
return item.data1+"-"+item.data2;
if u do in this way i think it will work.
if u sucess then give me mark.
Thanks

Grouping issue on Advanced DataGrid

Hello,
I've got an advanced datagrid with 5 columns, The number_Group column has data like this...
1-10
1-10
11-20
11-20
11-20
21-30
21-30
21-30
41-50
101-110
When I apply Grouping, it works as expected but the 101-110 group is displayed before the 11-20 group.
I've tried to set groupingField.numeric = true but that screws it up even more... because 11-20 isn't a number I'm guessing.
Does anyone know a way around this? I could change the number_Group column to this...
1
1
11
11
21
41
101
and groupingField.numeric = true should work but I need the Grouping display to show 1-10, 11-20. Perhaps I can intercept this and modify it?
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,
Nick

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.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sunil,
Which column is the sal column? I canât see any numeric columns in your query. If you use htmldb_item calls in your query column, then this makes them strings and you canât build sums on string columns. If you want to build sums in an updateable report / tabular form, then donât use the htmldb_item API. Instead use the built-in display types on the report column attributes page. Using the built-in display types is the better options in most cases anyway and they do allow you to calculate sums even if the column is a text field or display and save type field.

Marc

Grouping is done as expected. We have additional functionalities like soring / seraching of the result set. Either one is working fine. Other functionality throws excpetion mentioned below.
When any of the advanced datagrid grid column header is clicked for sorting, it throws exception. I have pasted the exception below for reference.

Its near impossible to get a Advanced datagrid to remember its opened nodes when it has fresh data

Theres a post in
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg85521.html//www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg85521.html
which is basically saying its near impossible to get a Advanced datagrid to remember its opened nodes when it has fresh data
I'm having pretty much the same problem (exept I'm not filtering just getting the latest data from the server)as this guy and have been searching for a solution, heres what he said:
Sun, 02 Mar 2008 08:07:46 -0800
Hello guys,
I'm trying to filter my ADG without success :
I created a GroupingCollection from a flat ArrayCollection.
ADG's dataProvider is GroupingCollection.
First issue : refresh
if I filter the underlaying ArrayCollection, the related
groupingCollection doesn't refresh automatically (bug? feature?)
Actually I menaged to force gc.refresh() with some event( it is
impossible to listen on CollectionEventKind.REFRESH because of
infinite loop ac.refresh => gc.refresh )
Second issue (more important) : openNodes
Ok now that my gc is refreshed, the Tree in the ADG collapses itself
(ok let say that is normal), and I need it to expand all nodes that
were opened before.
I tried to do something like this :
var openNodes : Object = IHierarchicalCollectionView(
myADG.dataProvider ).openNodes;
gc.refresh();
myADG.dataProvider.openNodes = openNodes;
and it doesn't works.
next I tried this :
var openNodes : Object = IHierarchicalCollectionView(
myADG.dataProvider ).openNodes;
for each( var node : Object in openNodes )
IHierarchicalCollectionView( myADG.dataProvider.openNode( node )
guess what, doesn't work
I'm calling myADG.invalidateList() each time too.
I don't know what to do to achieve this simple task, I'm a bit
disappointed because I expected lot more from the brand new
AdvancedDataGrid and this basic functionality actually seems too hard
to implement.
I still hope I'm wrong and someone can show me the correct solution
Thank you all,
Adnan

Hi,
I remember the days when Oracle would practically give Oracle Financial s away just for the implementation consulting fees.
Yeah, IBM used to give-away DB2 also . . . .
Oracle Financial s away just for the implementation consulting fees. Yeah, but any ERP requires massive set-up costs. I once worked on an SAP effort that cost over $20,000,000.
complete with Microsoft head to headIn what? Oracle is far-and-away the world's most robust and flexible database, hundreds of times more powerful that SQL Server.
IMHO, it's like apples-to-oranges . . . .
Everyone is running SQL server Here, DICE shows over a hundred Oracle openings in the Boston area, that might help you:

Excel is the tool of choice for accountants and its integration withcubes is nothing short of stunning
Sorry, I must disagree! Yes, CPA's will download Oracle data into spreadsheets for analysis, but Excel is wanting, especially for hypothesis testing, correlational analysis and data mining. Oracle's ODM, however, is truly stunning, light-years ahead of PC-based tools:

Does compiling an advanced datagrid using flex ant task require additional config other than the license property?

Hi,
    I am trying to build my Flex app which uses the Advanced Data Grid in a couple of locations. Originally, when I built the app using the flex ant tasks, I noticed the Visualization Trial watermark show up on the screen. I then added the license tag with the serial number to my flex-config.xml and re-ran my ant build. The watermark goes away, but then when I look at the advanced datagrid, the datagrid shows up with the hierarchy, but the data does not display in the grid (only the group by nodes are visible, not the data for the leaf elements). This works fine when I build the app using my Flex Builder. Is there something I am missing or need to add to my flex ant task to make this work?
Any help or guidance is much appreciated.
The following is the ant task to build the module that uses the ADG:

SortcompareFunction is not working properly for more than 1 column in advanced datagrid

Hi Guys,
I am using an advanced datagrid with groupingCollection.
I have more than 1 grouped column. How ever I am using 2 sort compare function to sort date and time.
The problem is when I am trying to sort date its workinf properly then when I jump to time column its not working and sorting few rows only inside the column but not the entire column. samething happen when I sort time first and the date is not sorting.
any help will be really appriciable .
Thanks in advance.

In our application we tend to use views to return appropriate values for a particular user.
For example (we do building inspections) the publication item sql is like
select * from inspection_sites where id in (select site_id from v_pda_bi_sites where bi_id=:bi_id)
The view acts like a dynamic parameter table (in this cases looks at experience level, status of sites, and responsibility allocations). Once the driving views are tuned this works quite efficiently, and as the dependant tables for the publication item automatically includes all of the tables in the driving view, the object gets refreshed if there is any change to any of them, even if the site details themselves have not changed

Efficiently retrieve MANY records with Advanced Datagrid?

Hi all,
I've encountered the following issue:
I have a database with more then 120.000 records, that I want to show with an advanced datagrid.
It's grouped by 2 ID's, thus showing the results a group within a group. This works perfect!
Only: it takes a long time before it shows the results, probably because it's downloading all the records at once (with the getAll() function).
Is there a way to use advanced datagrid more efficiently? Like: first download the two columns that are used to define the groups, and only retrieve data that's visible once you click the group? (In this case, the 2nd group within the 1st group)
This would greatly increase the loading-time of the whole application.
Or should I take an other aproach to this application, like, using a tree-component, a simple datagrid, writing alternative update & retrieve functions in AS3 & PHP?
Thanks!

Hi Sam, thanks for your help!
I'm not sure though how to create the returned datastructure?
Example:
Product_id
productname
category_a
category_b
1
Toy A
boy
0-3
2
Toy B
girl
0-3
3
Toy C
girl
3-6
4
Toy D
boy
6-9
5
Toy E
girl
3-6
6
Toy F
boy
0-2
7
Toy G
boy
6-9
Grouping by [category_a] and [category_b], I would like to get the following in the Advanced Datagrid, but paginated:
Product_ID
Productname
boy

In my PHP-service, I would create the following query:
     public function getProducts_paged($startIndex, $numItems) {
          $stmt = mysqli_prepare($this->connection, "SELECT product_id, category_a, category_b, productname FROM $this->tablename GROUP BY category_a, category_b LIMIT(?,?)");
          $this->throwExceptionOnError();
          mysqli_bind_param($stmt, 'ii', $startIndex, $numItems);
          mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
          $this->throwExceptionOnError();
          $rows = array();
          mysqli_stmt_bind_result($stmt, $row->product_id, $row->category_a, $row->category_a, $row->productname);
         while (mysqli_stmt_fetch($stmt)) {
           $rows[] = $row;
           $row = new stdClass();
           mysqli_stmt_bind_result($stmt, $row->product_id, $row->category_a, $row->category_a, $row->productname);
          mysqli_stmt_free_result($stmt);
          mysqli_close($this->connection);
          return $rows;
This will give me the right structure, Right?

- How to tell the Advanced Datagrid which 2 groups to apply?

PLEASE HELP!! Need some way to read header text in advanced datagrid using QTP

I am writing a function to read column names in advanced data
grid. There is no operation for that and any of the properties that
I can use to read the column names.
Please suggest any way that I can get the names of columns in
the advanced data grid.
Thanks

I hope to hear something from adobe folks...I am providing
more info.....
I am using QTP 9.2 and Flex 3 add-in available from Adobe.
My application has flex Advanced datagrid object and I am
trying to read column names for the datagrid.
I have contacted developers and they told me that column
names for flex advanced datagrid are stored in "Header Text"
I have tried reading "Header Text" using
GetROProperty("HeaderText") but it doesn't return anything.
I have tried the following code:
x =
Browser("app").FlexApplication("flexapp").FlexCanvas("Canvas").FlexAdvancedDatagrid("esti mategridid").GetROProperty("Header
Text")
msgbox x
I have also tried getting value for column names using other
available properties for webtables like outerhtml, outertext, alt
etc. but I don't get any data.
Part of the problem may be because none of the above
mentioned properties are supported by Flex Advanced datagrid.
I have also tried getting child objects but I always get the
data in datagrid as values but not the column names.
My primary reason for getting column names is to write a
function to update cell in datagrid independent of application. So,
I want to pass column name as a parameter to the function and get
the corresponding columnIndex in the function by comparing the
parameter value against column names.
Thanks to all for you help...

HP QTP10 cannot read Automation values of Advanced DataGrid

Hi everyone,
We're an Automation functional testing team, testing a flex application with HP QTP v10. So far we've successfully automated many parts of the application. Now, we're struck at a serious issue.
The issue is QTP cannot read automation values specified for an Advanced Datagrid (ADG).
While trying to read row data of the ADG, the automation name of QTP shows like,
"lblData | someGroup | | ** | | | | | | | | | | lblData"
The screenshot of Object Spy while spying ADG is also attached.
Other than the Automation Index, we are not able to populate any automation values of a row data.
The ADG is a custom one. Our development team has customized it in some way, and we dont have access to the code. They are using an External renderer or Custom renderer to render values into the column.
As there is no possiblity for value-based recording, we tried to access the ADG with index-based recording. Then, we 're able to perform operations like Click, but cannot read contents of the row/cell.
We're using:
HP Quick TestProfessional v10.0
Flex plugin 4.5
Internet Explorer 7
Flash Player v10
Our Questions are:
How to get automation values for these custom ADG?
Is there any other possible ways to access the custom ADG components other than these automation values?
Do we need any patches/plugin upgradation to perform this?
Is there any other tools in market that can recognize and access these custom ADGs?
Without these automation values we're unable to proceed further work. Any replies/comments/help are welcome.
Thank you!

A sortCompareFunction would look something like:
Function sortWithNullAtEnd(a:Object, b:Object, field:Array = null):int
    if (a.fieldName == null && b.fieldName == null) return 0;
    if (a.fieldName == null) return 1;
    if (b.fieldName == null) return –1;
    if (a.fieldName < b.fieldName)
        return –1;
    if (a.fieldName > b.fieldName)
        return 1;
    return 0;
Note that this sort would be unstable so you might be better off using a second field to get stability.

Get an item at a particluar position in Advanced Datagrid

I want to access some property of an item lying at nth position in an advanced datagrid. I was not able to find any method which can return me this result. getChildAt method returns display objects of the adv DG and not the items in it. Also numChildren poperty returns number of display objects and not the number of rows.

You MUST get it from the dataProvider. That is the only place the data exists. You can use the DataGrid events to return the row and column indexes into the dataProvider item.
Or you can get a reference to the renderer, and then get to the dataprovider item through the data property. Or through your own property if it is a custom renderer.
But one way or another, you must get to the dataProvider item.
I do not recall the syntax, look into the dataGrid events in the docs.

Tree structure in advanced datagrid

Hi
I'm using advanced datagrid to mainly display heirarchical data.
There are five columns in my datagrid and name column is heirarchical one.
Problem I am facing is tree symbols are getting displayed in some other columns. Please help.

Hi PAgrawal,
Advanced DG has treeColumn property that you can assign to your name column
This will display tree icons on required column
Thanks and Best regards,
Abhishek
