How to include a custom bkgd in the spark datagrid header

I have a CustomDatagridSkin.mxml, which is based upon the default DataGrid.
I'm looking at the code, and I'm a noob, trying to make heads or tails out of it. If I could just figure out how to change the header color I would be happy. But what I'd really like to know is how to apply a graphic to the background of the header.
Is there some example on the net that I can follow, because I'm having a hell of a time finding something useful.
The demo that Deepa had was awsome (corkboard and postit notes looking thing).
How was that done?
Thanks
Kristin

Hi,
Do you want a custom background for the entire header bar? or for each individual header renderer? I would take a look at the DefaultGridHeaderRenderer class to see how we do headers. These header renderers are used by the GridColumnHeaderGroup to create the column headers. You can modify it to have your own custom background graphic. If you just want to tweak the color, you can apply the chromeColor style to the DataGrid.
I can try to cook up an example for you when I have a bit of time, but not at the moment. Hope this points you in the right direction.

How to include in table of contents the list of figures and list of tables?

How to include in table of content the "Table of contents", "List of figures" and "List of tables"? All are generated with function Table of contents, but they will not appear in generated table of contents even if they have proper style of headings - Heading 1, as other chapter.
I get this in generated Table of contentes of my dissertaion thesis:
Table of contents
Preface
Table of contents <- missing
List of tables <- missing
List of figures <- missing
Introduction
Main
Conclusion
Is it ok, that generated lists are not included in table of contents?

You've just confused me.
My understanding of how this is set up is that either:
This is a book, and there is a master TOC that includes all book documents and a document-specific TOC in each component file, or
This is a single file and there is one master TOC that includes all sections and a section-specific TOC that includes only the individual section.
In the first case, I think you would want two TOC styles set up, one that includes the chapter heads (if I understood how you said this worked) for the for the master, and you would include all docs in the book when you generate it, and a second style for the individual chapters, with the subheadings you want to include.
In the second case, it would be similar, but instead of only one style to cover the section TOCS, I think you would need to create a unique set of pargraph styles for the headings in each section (they can all be the same format, based one section, just with unique names), and then make a TOC style for each section that includes only the styles from that section.
OK, wait a sec. I just reread what you said: "Another thing: when the numbers are "linked" and updating well, they display indide a little box. Not a text box, but a kind of little frame around the numbers. That frame makes it imposible to delete just one number: when the TOC says that Section 6.1 is in page 135, for example, you cannot delete just the 5, it deletes, not just the 3 numbers, but also the doted tab."
I think these are NOT normal TOCs created by using Layout > TOC (but you could replace them with ones that are, if you set up your styles properly and the text you want to include is appearing on the pages). Those little boxes you mention sound like cross-references, which should update automatically without any intervention at all. Unfortunately, cross-refs can be flakey, especially if they point to another document. I'd open the cross-refs panel and see if you need to recreate a bunch of links.

Playing with the spark datagrid

I'm Playing with the spark datagrid and have a column set up like so:
<GridColumn width="140" headerText="Margin" headerText.editMode="Margin (editing)" dataField="margin" editable="false" editable.editMode="true" itemRenderer="gridColumnRenderer" >
           </GridColumn>
I would like the item render to change colour based on the state of the outerDocuent, is this possible?
I tried this but can't get to the outerdocument
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:ItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
                autoDrawBackground="true">
    <s:Label text="{data.margin}" backgroundColor="{   outerDocument.currentState =='editMode'?0xffffff:0xdddddd}"/>
</s:ItemRenderer>

I believe you will need to use GridItemRenderer instead of ItemRenderer as your base class for renderers in the spark DataGrid. Does it work if you change to that?

What is the point of [Bindable("selectionChange")] in parts of the spark datagrid class?

I dont understand the point of this code in the spark datagrid class:
what is the point of this:
    [Bindable("selectionChange")]
     [Bindable("valueCommit")]
     [Inspectable(category="General", defaultValue="null")]
in
    // selectedItem
    [Bindable("selectionChange")]
    [Bindable("valueCommit")]
    [Inspectable(category="General", defaultValue="null")]
     * @copy spark.components.Grid#selectedItem
     * @default null
     * @langversion 3.0
     * @playerversion Flash 10
     * @playerversion AIR 2.5
     * @productversion Flex 4.5
    public function get selectedItem():Object
        if (grid)
            return grid.selectedItem;
        return (dataProvider && (selectedIndex > 0)) ?
            dataProvider.getItemAt(selectedIndex) : undefined;
     * @private
    public function set selectedItem(value:Object):void
        if (grid)
            grid.selectedItem = value;
        else
            var f:Function = function(g:Grid):void
                g.selectedItem = value;
            deferredGridOperations.push(f);

Anything that is binding to selectedItem will go get the value again when either of those events fires.

How to Include in Customer Exit to select max of the date

Hi,
Every Employee will have a health Insurance Policy which is valid for 6 six months.
From Source System i am getting
Employee and his policy Start date,Based on Policy Start Date in Transformations i am calculacting the Policy Expiry date (Policy Start date + 6 Months)(Ex:If Policy Start Date is 01/Nov/2007 then Exp date is 01/May/2008)
My report is to Show employees who doesn't had a valid policy on the day report executed (Sys Date)
For that i created a Customer Exit Variable on Policy Expiry Date
(If Policy Expiry date is < Sys Date)
IF i_step = 2.
      CLEAR l_s_range.
      l_s_range-low = sy-datum.
      l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
      l_s_range-opt = 'LT'.
      APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
    ENDIF.
Problem:
Data in the cube
Employee--Policy Start date-Policy Expiry Date
1--01/01/2008-----30/06/2008
1--01/07/2007-----31/12/2007
1--01/01/2007-----30/06/2007
When i execute the report i should expect the Emp 1 shouldn't be displayed as he had valid policy which is going to expir in June 2008....but the above exit is displaying the below 2 records
Can i include any changes in the above exit that will select the Max Policy Expire date and then it will check with the Sys Date
Please update me on how to proceed
Thanks

Hi thomos,
Thanks for the update
Bit Confused.....could you please explain me
"Your variable (intervall) should be based on the Policy Expiry Date
l_s_range-low = '10000101'.
l_s_range-high = 'sy-datum - 1.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'BT'
How this is going to solve my problem....
As i got 3 records on a employee one of which got expiry date greater tha sys date

How to create a custom panel in the right way (without having an empty panel in the file info) ?

Hi Everyone
My name is Daté.
I'm working in the fashion industry as a designer and Design consultant to help fashion brands improving the design workflow by using Adobe softwares and especially Illustrator.
I'm not a developper, but i'm very interested about the possibility to introduce xmp technology to provide more DAM workflows in the fashion industry.
Fashion designers produce a lot of graphical objects in illustrator or Photoshop. Unfortunately they are faced to a big challenge which is about how to manage, search, classify and get this files faster. Of course PDM system or PLM system are used in the Fashion industry to manage data, but for many companies, implemanting this kind of database is very complex.
When i look at what you can do with xmp, it seems to be an interesting way of managing design files, then i started to follow Adobe instruction to try to build a custom panel.
The main idea is to (Theory) :
create custom panels used by fashion designers to classify their design files.
Use Adobe Bridge to search files, create smart collection to make basic reports in pdf and slideshows
Find someone to make a script able to export metadata in xml files
Use indesign and the xml file to generate automatically catalogues or technical sheets based on xmp values
I have created a custom panel by using the generic panel provided by Adobe and i have modified the fields to feet with the terms used in the fashion industry and it works well.
But unfortunately, when i try to create my own custom panel from scratch with Flashbuilder (4.6) and the Adobe CSExtensionBuilder_2 (Trial version), it doesn't work!
Here is the process :
I have installed flashbuilder 4.6
I have download the XMP Fileinfo SDK 5.1 and placed the com.adobe.xmp.sdk.fileinfo_fb4_1.1.0.jar in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse\plugins
In Flashbuilder, i have created a new project and select xmp Custom panel
The new project is created in flashbuilder with a field with A BASIC Description Field
To generate the panel, right click the project folder and select xmp / Publish Custom Panel
The panel is automatically generated in the following folder : C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\3.0\panels
Go to illustrator, Open the file Info
The panel appears empty
The others panel are also empty
The panel is created and automatically placed in the right folder, but when you open it in Illustrator by selecting the File Info option in the File Menu, this custom panel appears empty!!! (only the title of the tab is displayed). This panel also prevent the other panels to be displayed.
When you delete this custom panels from the folder C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\3.0\panels and go back to the File Info, the other panels display their content properly.
I also try to use the plugin XMP Namespace designer to create my own namespace. this plugin is also able to generate a custom panel, but this one also appears empty in AI or Photoshop.
I try to follow the process described in Adobe xmp documentation many times, but it didn't works.
It seems that many peaople have this issue, but i dodn't find a solution in the forum.
I try to create a trust file (cfg), but it didn't work.
It would be so kind if you can help me to understand why i can't create a custom panel normally and how to do it in the right way.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Best regards,
Daté

Hi Sunil,
After many trial, i realize the problem was not coming from the trust file, but from the way i have created the custom panel.
There is 2 different ways, the first described below is not working whereas the second is fine :
METHOD 1 :
I have downloaded the XMP-Fileinfo-SDK-CS6
In the XMP-Fileinfo-SDK-CS6 folder, i copied the com.adobe.xmp.sdk.fileinfo_fb4x_1.2.0.jar plugin from the Tools folder and i pasted it in the plugind folder of Flashbuilder 4.6
The plugin install an XMP project
In Flashbuilder 4.6 i have created a new project (File / New /Project /XMP/XMP Custom Panel)
A new xmp project is created in flashbuilder.
You can publish this project by right clicking the root folder and selecting XMP / Publish Custom Panel
The custom file info panel is automatically published in the right location which is on Mac : /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/3.0 or /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/4.0
Despite the publication of the custom file info panel and the creation of a trust file in the following location : "/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/FlashPlayerTrust", the panel is blank in Illustrator.
I try this way several times, with no good results.
METHOD 2 :
I have installed Adobe CSExtensionBuilder 2.1 in Flash Builder
In FlashBuilder i have created a new project (File / New /Project /Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder/XMP Fileinfo Panel Project)
As the system display a warning about the version of the sdk to use to create correctly a custom file info, I changed the sdk to sdk3.5A
The warning message is : "XMP FileInfo Panel Projects must be built with Flex 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 SDK. Building with Flex 4.6.0 SDK may result in runtime errors"
When i publish this File info panel project (right click the root folder and select Run as / Adobe illustrator), the panel is published correctly.
The last step is to create the trust file to display the fields in the panel and everything is working fine in Illustrator.
The second method seems to be the right way.
For sure something is missing in the first method, and i don't understand the difference between the XMP Custom Panel Project and the XMP Fileinfo Panel Project. Maybe you can explain it to me.
So what is the best solution ? the right sdk to use acording to the creative suite (the system asks to use 3.3 or 3.5 sdk for custom panels, so why ?)
I'm agree with Pedro, a step by step tutorial about this will help a lot of peaople, because it's not so easy to understand!!!
Sunil, as you belong to the staff team, can you tell me if there is :
A plugin or a software capable to extract the XMP from llustrator files to generate XML workflows in Indesign to create catalogues
A plugin to allow indesign to get custom XMP in live caption
A plugin to allow Bridge to get custom XMP in the Outputmode to make pdf or web galeries from a smart collection
How can you print the XMP data with the thumbnail of the file ?
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Best Regards

How to add a custom field to the "Projects" page "Group by" data menu list

Hi,
I'm deploying Project Online and I want to group projects by a custom field on the "Projects" page. Currently I can see options for group by Project Name, Start, Finish, % complete etc. I would like to group by a custom field of programme name
which is filled in on the Project Details form.
I can create the enterprise field etc, however I can't work out how to make the new enterprise field appear in this list. Or am I barking up the wrong tree and should be creating separate Project Types for each programme?
Any help an advise greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Conrad

Hello, add the programme field to the Project Center view then it will be available to group by. Paul

How to add a custom property to the user's master record?

Hello,
I would like to add a custom property to the user's master record which is unique to our company (User's region).
Is that possible? and if yes, how?
I'm a bit new to BW so a step-by-step procedure will help
Roy

The user names are stored in table USR01. IN that table see if you can add a field to have region. Extract this table and store it in User info object in BW.
You will need a ABAP person to do this, if you are new to SAP.
