Flex datagrid data column / webservice

I use a web service to populate a datagrid and its columns
(on of which is date). The web services sources the data from a sql
server database and thru ASP.net to the Flex application. I've been
seeing strange things. During testing, database records such as
"8/27/2008 8:58:00 PM " correctly shows up as 8/27/2008 in the Flex
application, but records after 9PM such as "8/27/2008 9:01:21 PM"
shows up as 8/28/2008 (the next days) .. seems like after 9 throws
off the data rendering.. please suggest.

Flex datagrid data on datachange

Hi all,
I am using an extended datagrid which takes its height on the basis of measured height of items. Item renderer for datagrid is a canvas. Which holds one more canvas(header for item renderer) and a text area. The problem I am facing is with the header canvas in item renderer. Header canvas has one label which diaplay a name of user. On the basis of data provider for the current item visibility of this label in header canvas is set as true or false. issue is when it set to false it repaints(on data change event) all the previous header canvas label also to visible false. And just the last item has the data. Rather it should set its visiblity false only for the current item and rest items sholud behave as value set for them.
Thanks in advance.

How to disaply multiple column of a table in a single flex datagrid column

Hi,
I have a table in my database which has say 3 column (Firstname,LastName,Location). I wanted to display these 3 different values in a single column in flex datagrid.
Could you please help me out in this
Thanks,
Pratik

Generally, in such scenarios each column is made corresponding to the column in database only and not single column.
However, we can setStyle of a datagrid to make it appear as if all three columns have been populated in single.
set verticalGridLines="false" for dataGrid. Further cosmetic changes can be made to realise the required look.
In some cases, labelFunction of a datagridColumn also suffices the need.

Import CSV/Excel data into Flex Datagrid using Java/JSP

Hi,
Is there any way we can import excel/csv data into flex datagrid component.
I see that is been done using php in this site. http://code.google.com/p/as3xls/
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

You can store the list of data from the Excel sheet that you have read already into an ArrayList
Then go through the JDBC tutorial, and learn how to insert a single record into the table.
After you understand how to insert a single record, you can iterate through the ArrayList of data and insert them into the table in the database.
If you know JDBC, see if you can use OR Mapping frameworks like Hibernate or iBatis, they make it very easy to manage database in Java.

Flex DataGrid with Dynamic Grouping

Does anyone know of any examples of Flex datagrids that have
grouping features comparable to the numerous grid components
available in the ASP.NET world? I’m thinking of .NET
component vendors such as Telerik, Infragistics, Component Art,
DevExpress, etc.
The way these .NET controls generally work is that you drag
the header of a column to a bar above the grid, which causes the
grid to redraw based on the new grouping you just specified.
This is an example of a grid component that I am currently
using:
Telerik
Grid
Thank you,
Mike Chabot

The renderer's data property is the data for the entire row so you can get the column1 data and assign the combobox's dataprovider accordingly.

Flex datagrid french sorting

Hi,
I am using flex datagrid to develop an application in french,
as french is having special character in it,
i need to sort datagrid column in french. Flex datagrid
unable to sort data in french. i need french sorting,
if somebody has solution of this please help me to get out of
this.
If possible please reply me on
[email protected]

i am using inbuilt flex sorting, i am not using sortcompare()
function.
its just a string sorting but as its in french ,character
"
É" is comig after character "
V" , because flex treated it as a special character
. it should come before "
V". so do we need to change character set for
flex?

Flex DataGrid Component

Can i extend the Flex DataGrid using ActionScript and create as Add-On Component ?

I've been trying to get this to work. But i'm having issues Not sure if it's related to the Array binding limitation mentioned in the release notes. Maybe someone else has some ideas.
I'm trying to bind to the dataProvider property of the DataGrid. That way when the user in Xcelsius selects a range, it will bind the data in the excel sheet to the DataGrid.
Problem is that i'm only getting one value to update (specifically the top value). At this time i'm only trying to bind a single column of data.
I noted that the commitProperties function gets called whenever a cell changes that i'm bound to, but the dataProvider is only receiving the first value of the array. Even odder is that the ArrayCollection that i receive simply looks like this:
commitProp:dataProvider=(mx.collections::ArrayCollection)#0
filterFunction = (null)
length = 1
list = (mx.collections::ArrayList)#1
    length = 1
    source = (Array)#2
      [0] 1
    uid = "A37C62CC-F3DC-E1B1-8159-CE984C2CCE33"
sort = (null)
source = (Array)#2
So i see that i get an array collection of ArrayList objects, the first one of which simple contains the value in the excell sheet "1".
I noted that the proxy.bind function has a parameter called "chain", maybe this is what i need to get multiple value binding? The documentation for the calls are pretty basic, which is understandable as this is new technology.
So anyone have some ideas? Maybe someone from BO who is apart of the SDK group can comment?

Need Inputs on transferring data thru Webservice

Hi All,
Can we use webservice to transfer huge amount of data (i.e. An XML which has 20,000 rows from a table of 15 columns) from the webserver to the client.
Currently am passing this as a String.
Is it okay to pass it in this way? or is there any other better approach to pass the huge amount of data thru webservice
Eagerly waiting for replies.

How2 load xml into datagrid, and create realtime search of datagrid data

I wanted to be able to load xml data into a datagrid and then create a searchbox that would search in real time (as person typed) from any part of the datagrid. Does anyone know of any as2.0 component that can do that easily? If not, i would like to try to tackle this the old fashioned and use this to teach myself as2.0 advanced coding. can someone point to a step by step or explain how i might get this accomplished? from loading the xml to putting the node info into the datagrid, to being able to search it in real time. This is part of a project that i was given that has some serious consequences if i botch it. Please help! Thanks so much!

Flex datagrid borders off by 1px?

Is there a way to extend the datagrid component or any to her way to avoid this?
Flex datagrid column header borders and column borders keep going off by 1px... and they randomly alternate when resized.
I have no idea how to fix this, and it to me looks like a problem with flex, not so much what i coded
http://screencast.com/t/NmI3Zjk0NmU
http://screencast.com/t/YzE0NDk5 - resized
It's like it's going off by 1px because of some rounding error... no idea why this is happening, and I'm using
Code I'm using (a bit sloppy but still)
http://pastebin.ca/1888773

I could use someone's help on this... Every single datagrid i create (at least with a custom header gradient, I think), has borders off by 1px, what can I do to fix this? I've even seen this happening on other sample flex projects. No idea how to fix this

Flex Datagrid Issue

Hi
I am using a flex datagrid component which has around 48 columns.
There is a option for the user to select which columns he wish to see.
Based on the user's selection the visible columns will be 1-50.
The Datagrid is inside a Vbox container.
The issue is, based on the screen resolution and the number of columns selected extra scroll bars(horizontal and vertical) appears
for the whole Vbox in addition to the Datagrid's scrollbars.
i.e if resolution is high and user selects more than 46 columns extra scroll bar appears.
If resolution is low the extra scroll bars appears as soon as the visible columns is more than 20.
Please help me if there is any resolution in preventing the extra scroll bars from appearing.Ideally, Since datagrid has its own scroll bars making more columns visible should not increase the width of datagrid.
Any help will be appreciated

Have you hard-coded the height and width of both the VBox and the Datagrid? If you set the datagrid height and width 40 pixels or so less than the VBox it should solve that problem, I'd think.
Or, you could set your DataGrid height and width to 90%.
Sorry if you've already tried this. Another option is to set your datagrid's scroll policy to "off" and just leave the VBox's scroll bars available.

DataGrid: Date Format

I have a data grid with several date columns. I would like to format the date yyyy-mm-dd in one column, yet in another column I would like to format the date as mmm/dd/yy. How can I set these formats in their respective DataGrid columns?

one way is format yourdataProvider and then feed it to your dataGrid.
like
            var formattedDate:DateFormatter = new DateFormatter();
            formattedDate.formatString = "YYYY-MM-DD";
            formattedDate.format(dataProvider[ii].toString());
            var formattedDate:DateFormatter = new DateFormatter();
            formattedDate.formatString = "MMM/DD/YY";
            formattedDate.format(dataProvider[ii].toString());
Thanks

Flex - Java Data transfer objects. How do you usually work ? (Brainstorming)

Hi,
I would like to explain you how I work and to know how you guys do.
All this discussion is just an example of how I work. I really want to know how other coders usually work. This way, maybe I can improve my code.
I would like to know how do you do when you want to retreive data into typed objects when these data contains reference to other typed objects.
Here is how I always work :
I want to retreive all my customers into a flex datagrid and to display all information.
Here is my Customer table structure (just an example)
id, name, refCompany, refLanguage, refCountry, refCustomerGroup
refCompany, refLanguage, refCountry, refCustomerGroup are IDs that reference to other tables.
To ensure to retreive all data into typed object, I make a Customer,Company, Language, Country, CustomerGroup, Flex and Java classes.
I make a query that looks like : Select * from Customer
My java code will looks like :
List<Customer> customers = new ArrayList<Customer>;
ResultSet rs = myConn.execSelect(query);
while(rs.next)
     customers.add(new Customer(rs))
return customers;
In my Customer class, I have a constuctor that takes a resultSet
My customer class contains variables (refCompany that is actually a Company object (not an id), refLanguage that is actually a Language object (not an id),... )
Customer(ResultSet rs)
     this.name = rs.getString("name")
     this.refCompany = new Company.findById(rs.getInt("refCompany"))     //This function returns a Company object
     this.refLanguage = new Language.findById(rs.getInt("refLanguage"))     // This function returns a Language object
Here is how I always do. I don't know if it is a good way because for each customer found in the database, I will make 4 queries (4 findById to find each object : company, language, country, customerGroup of the current customer).
But this way is generic, I don't have to make a specific query that will retreive all objects in one time. I select all customers, and in the constructor I select all objects that I have the reference...
The big problem with this way is when I retreive objects, I always retreive all referenced objects and I do not necessarily want it.
What do you think about the way I work ? How you guys do ? what is the best practice ?
