Make custom ItemRenderer Bindable?

If I do not use my custom ItemRenderer then the tiles in my
TileList change when the dataProvider changes, however when I use
my custom ItemRenderer they do not change when the dataProvider
changes.
I am not sure how to fix this???
Here is the code for my ItemRenderer component.
THANKS!!

Q2
Maybe you ought to read all of it this time, since you've
been sent to it
before on a different issue :-)
You might also find the example item renderer here helpful:

Thanks, I read your whole FAQ, I didn't follow all the links
it referenced though.

  • Custom ItemRenderer makes the column non editable

    Hi Folks,
    I have a DataGrid which s editable, I've created a custom ItemRenderer to deal with special format needed for Date variables, for that I extended the mx:Text class in order to get access to the listData.dataField variable.
    The problem is that this makes the column non-editable, the other column in the table are editabe.
    When I used a VBox container the column was editable however I didn't get access to the listData, which I need for the dataField variable.
    Any help will be appreciated.

  • How do I make a Custom DataTip with Custom ItemRenderer

    I can't seem to find any documentation or examples of

    dataGridColumn. I Could someone give me an example? The closest

  • Items in Tree control move around when data is submitted using custom ItemRenderer

    I'm working on a Tree control with an XMLListCollection as
    its dataProvider.
    The dataProvider has information looking like this :
    quote:
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
    <INFO>
    <FIELD label="STR_USER_NAME"
    type="text"
    value=""
    >
    </FIELD>
    <FIELD label="STR_USER_EMAIL"
    type="text"
    value=""
    >
    </FIELD>
    <FIELD label="STR_OPTIONAL"
    type="branch"
    value="0"
    >
    <FIELD label="STR_USER_ADDRESS"
    type="text"
    value=""
    >
    </FIELD>
    <FIELD label="STR_USER_POSTAL_CODE"
    type="text"
    value=""
    >
    </FIELD>
    </FIELD>
    </INFO>
    So in the Tree control I'd like the information to show up
    with a label and
    an
    editable textbox for each item :
    [Label] [textbox]
    To do this I made a tree like this :
    quote:
    <mx:Tree id="userTree"
    editable="true"
    rendererIsEditor="true"
    editorDataField="curVal"
    itemRenderer="{new ClassFactory(ItemRendererUser)}"
    itemEditEnd="e_ProcessData(event);"
    dataDescriptor="{new DataDescriptorUsers()}"
    showRoot="false"
    verticalScrollPolicy="{ScrollPolicy.AUTO}"
    />
    where the e_ProcessData() function looks like this (I used
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=c
    elleditor_073_16.html#202105 as a guide) :
    quote:
    public function e_ProcessData(event:ListEvent):void
    event.preventDefault();
    userTree.editedItemRenderer.data.@value =
    ItemRendererUsers(event.currentTarget.itemEditorInstance).curVal;
    userTree.destroyItemEditor();
    userTree.dataProvider.notifyItemUpdate(userTree.editedItemRenderer);
    } // END OF e_ProcessData()
    I attached the rest of the files because they're a little
    bit longer.
    When I run the program, the data shows up fine when it is
    initialized the
    very
    first time, and I made a test button that just dumps the
    contents of the
    dataProvider in a trace statement to verify that the data has
    been set
    properly.
    The problem I've run into is whenever the textfield is
    edited, the item
    that
    I've selected jumps around the list.
    For example, if I edit the item "STR_USER_NAME" after I
    finish the edit, it
    will move from the very first position in the Tree to the
    bottom of the
    Tree.
    I traced the contents of the dataProvider and the
    dataProvider structure
    stays
    the same, with the "STR_USER_NAME" at the top, but if I look
    at the flex app
    in
    the web browser, its position is at the bottom of the Tree.
    This happens for every other item I try to edit... I read in
    the
    documentation
    that the ItemRenderers are recycled, so it means I should be
    checking to
    make
    sure the initial states are covered, but I'm not sure how
    this affects my
    application.
    Can anyone help me out with this ? Its very confusing - I've
    tried making
    an
    ItemRenderer using pure actionscript, mxml and the
    combination you see in
    this
    example and I always end up with the same behaviour - So I
    must be missing
    something critical...
    // ItemRendererUsers.mxml
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="
    http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"

    From my FAQ:
    Q: I've created a custom itemRenderer component to use in a
    List
    based component (Datagrid, TileList, HorizontalList, etc.).
    When my List
    first displays, everything looks fine, but when I scroll it
    or change the
    dataProvider, some of the itemRenderers show values or
    formatting that
    aren't right. How do I fix this?
    A: List-based components don't draw a renderer for every item
    in the
    dataProvider. Instead, they create enough to display what is
    on screen now,
    plus one or two more waiting in the wings. This means they
    recycle the
    renderers rather than creating new ones when you change
    dataProvider or
    scroll up and down. When you use a creationComplete event to
    set up the
    itemRenderer, that event doesn't happen again when the
    renderer is used for
    a different set of data. The solution to this is to override
    the set data
    protected function that most components have.

    Your set data needs to set a flag that gets picked up in
    commitProperties()
    and does your thing that you were doing before in
    creationComplete. You
    should see examples of this in the links I posted. Instead of
    this:
    _data.@value = inputText.text;
    you should look at implementing IDropInListItemRenderer,
    which will allow
    you to dynamically determine which field to look at, instead
    of hardcoding
    it. You also might wind up overwriting the stored value with
    a null value
    when the List passes the stored value in. I'd encourage you
    to really go
    through those links I posted and make sure you understand
    what they're
    saying. The itemRenderer life cycle is one of the hardest
    things to
    understand, but once you understand it, it makes many things
    in Flex much
    easier. It's worth investing the time.

  • Can't focus on custom itemRenderer?

    I have made a custom itemRenderer doubling as an itemEditor
    following the guidelines in the documentation.
    However, even though I have set the rendererIsEditor="true",
    when tabbing amongst other editable fields, the controls inside the
    itemRenderer do not receive focus. I can't help but think this is
    an oversight/bug but is there any way to jury-rig the itemRenderer
    to focus properly? At the moment my component is simply a CheckBox
    inside an HBox.
    Anyway, here is my code so you can see for yourself (I have
    included a CheckBox as itemRenderer so you can see the *desired*
    effect.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    bool:false}];

    </mx:columns>
    </mx:DataGrid>
    </mx:Application>

    nevermind... I found the answer a few pages later in the
    docs...
    you have to implement the IFocusManagerComponent interface
    and then override drawFocus as below to set the focus on the
    checkBox... hope it works for multiple controls...
    <mx:HBox horizontalAlign="center"
    backgroundColor="#9933EE"

  • Custom ItemRenderer Problem

    Hello,
    I have a requirement to display an image in some rows in the
    datagrid based on a flag obtained from the database. To achieve
    this, I am using a custom itemrenderer for that particular column
    and on a simple check if the value obtained for that particular row
    is 1 then I show the image, else I leave it blank (i.e set the
    image visibility to false).
    Here is a snippet of the code:
    Custom ItemRenderer
    <mx:HBox .... creationComplete="init();">
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
    public function init( ):void {
    // Check if the flag is 0 or 1 to determine whether to show
    or hide the image
    if(data.@FLAG == 0) {
    img.visible = false;
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:Image id="img" source="something.gif" />
    </mx:HBox>
    Main Application
    <mx:Application .........>
    <mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{myXML.item}" ... >
    <mx:columns>
    <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="@FLAG" headerText="Image"
    itemRenderer="CustomItemRenderer" />
    ......... // Other columns
    </mx:columns>
    <mx:DataGrid>
    </mx:Application>
    This code seems to work to a certain level. However, here are
    some problems that i'm facing and would like to know if this is the
    right approach:
    1. The check to determine whether to show the image doesn't
    function well. It shows the image when the flag is 0 and sometimes
    doesn't show the image when the flag is 1.
    2. Upon scrolling or sorting of the datagrid the results of
    the column randomly get messed up losing the images for the ones it
    had before scrolling or sorting and sometimes placing the image in
    another row it does not belong to.
    Can anyone please guide me if they have worked on a similar
    requirement and how it can be achieved. My feeling is that I am
    performing the check in the wrong method. I tried doing it by
    overriding the set data method but that has the scroll problem and
    eventually makes all the images visible initially disappear after
    scrolling or sorting.
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Override the set data property and move the code written in
    init() method there:
    override public function set data(value:Object):void {
    super.data = value;
    // Check if the flag is 0 or 1 to determine whether to show
    or hide the image
    if(data.@FLAG == 0) {
    img.visible = false;
    once it works, and there is no reason why it shouldn't, read
    up more on life cycle of renderers in the docs.

  • Custom itemRenderer - Bug?

    Hi, I have an example of some code that I can't figure out.
    What I'm doing may not be the best way to do what I want, but I
    believe is should work, and can't figure out why it doesn't. I have
    a datagrid with two columns, and the second column uses a custom
    itemRenderer to draw multiple circles depending on nested XML data
    for that row. In the
    set data function of my itemRenderer, I'm trying to get the
    width of the column, and use that to calculate where to put my
    circle, as a value of 1 to 10.
    - The first time, the
    set data is called four times where there are three rows
    - The first time it's called, this.width is zero
    - When resizing column widths, set data is called again - the
    first time only for the 2nd and 3rd rows, but with the correct
    width
    - Subsequent times it's called for all three rows, but the
    first row uses the LAST width, not the new width
    Any ideas? Here's my code:
    Project name is FlexSample, first file is FlexSample.mxml,
    then other two files are MyComponents/MyItemRenderer.as and
    MyComponents/PointComponent.as

    In the meantime, for "...set data is called four times where

    explanation. The first time, the "value" object is "null", so I
    always wrap the code in if (value != null) {}
    I'll post when I get a chance to look at your sample.

  • A DataGrid with a Custom ItemRenderer

    Hi all,
    I have a DataGrid whose DataProvider is bound to a simple Array. I have a custom ItemRenderer that includes a button that can remove the item itself (I don't want two separate columns with a remove button in one of them). However, I don't understand the behaviour - clicking the button rearranges the data in the DataGrid and sometimes duplicate the entries! See the example attached. Any idea what's happening?
    Martin.

  • Mobile custom itemRenderer adivce: grouping of elements

    Hello,
    I am building a custom itemRenderer for a Flex Mobile app.
    It will be like 3 columns, first 2 with 2 StyleableTextField stacked vertically and the 3rd with just one StyleableTextField.
    I've uploaded a symbolic image of what I mean. (symbolic = fields depicted in image are imaginary - so you know if it doesn't make sense)
    I have all in place and was wondering if I should:
    A) Position all elements based on X and Y with setElementPosition()
    B) Create 2 VGroups for the first 4 StyleableTextFields and position them.
    Worried about speed.
    Thank you.

    Yes A is faster because it has less DisplayObjects, but also Group uses the spark layout system which is a very general layout system capable of handling many use cases.  When you layout elements using setElementSize()/setElementPosition() you are laying things out specific to only your renderer's use case which means less code needs to run and the renderer will be faster.
    You could start with B if you find it easier to code.  Just be sure to test  the performance of your application.  If your scenario feels good on your target devices then you probably don't need to optimize any further.  If it's not fast enough then you might want to try A and see how it compares.

  • TileList bulk image display / custom itemRenderer problem

    I create a tilelist with a custom itemRenderer which will display image loaded with some text description, the source is from XML.
    the image displayed correctly from 1 - 10 itemrenderer.
    The problem happens on the itemrenderer 10+, the image is mismatch with the text description.
    The worse thing is when I scroll the tilelist, the image change row by row that does not match with the text.
    Why ? Any solution for this

    Dear Alex
    Many thanks for your hint. It did solve the problem
    My orginal code make a dirty flag at commitProperties() that image load only once at first time. After your hint, I remove the loading code out and the problem has been solved. Thanks
    However performance wise, the image blind and reload whenever I scoll the tilelist, how can I
    a/ make the scrolling process more smoothly
    b/ the image still in the screen ( no blind and off ) whenever I scroll the tilelist
    Thanks and hope to hear your hint again

  • How to make custom ringtones in iOS 5.1

    How to make custom ringtones in iOS 5.1.
    I was on iOS 4.3 before and i used to create the AAC version and then change the file extension & that file would come up in the Rimtones in iTunes, After the iOS 5.1 i m unable to add the custom ringtones to my iPhone from iTunes.

    Was having this problem too.  Discoverd that that there is a "tones" top menu next to "music" under your iphone settings.  I'm not sure if this is new or not (I am a new iphone owner), but if you check on sync tones they will download.

  • Need details on how to make custom ABAP report archive enabled

    Hi All,
    We are working in our project to make custom reports as archive enabled so that they can read archived data.
    Need some information on the below queries.
    1.Is there any function module to read selected data from archive file? For example i don't want to read the whole BKPF table data from archive file instead want to get belnr and bukrs only.
    2. What are the perfromance measure which can be taken while making an existing program archive enabled
    3. Important archiving tables which can help for the above.
    4. When i use the function module "Archive_open_for_read' then system displays a pop up to select the archive files based on the archive object.
    Considering that all the reports are run in background how do i make sure that in background run all the archive files are selected and processed.
    Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions...
    Regards/Ajay

    Hi Ajay,
    1.  You have to create a separate field catelogus and AIS according to your requirement with the required fields you want . Because the standard structures and field catelogues contains many fields from all tables. So before doing the read operation you have to deactivate the standard AIS and activate your newly created AIS .
    2. Can you give some more details for this question to be answered.
    3. The important archiving tables used are ARCH_IDX,ARCH_RPRG,ARCH_DEF.
    4. While scheduling the Read process in batch mode , it will give you three criterias to be entered.
         . Spool Parameters
         (ii). Start date
         (iii). Archive selection of files.
        Unless you enter values for any one of these options , You cannot execute the batch job.
    Hope this would help you.
    Regards - Swarna.
