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.

Forcing custom itemRenderer to updateDisplayList?

Hi, I'm new to flex, and was having some trouble.
In my project, I have a DataGrid, and a
BarChart->BarSeries. The DataGrid and the BarSeries share the
same DataProvider. I've made a custom itemRenderer, so that I can
click on Bars in the BarSeries and have them be highlighted in
black. This is done by having the itemRenderer listen for a CLICK
event, changing a variable that stores what color I want, then
calling invalidateDisplayList() to have updateDisplayList update
the display.
Since DataGrid and BarSeries share the same DataProvider,
elements in the DataGrid match up with elements in the BarSeries.
Therefore, I would like to be able to have a user click on an item
in the DataGrid, and have the associated bar in the BarSeries chart
become highlighted. However, I can't find a way to get the
itemRenderer to call updateDisplayList from outside of the
itemRenderer itself. I thought that calling invalidateDisplayList()
using the BarChart's id or the BarSeries id would force the
itemRenderer for the BarSeries to call updateDisplayList() and
update itself, but by using the debug feature, I have found that it
does not do this. Does anyone have any advice for how I would be
able to click on a DataGrid item and have it highlight the
corresponding item in the BarChart?
Thanks!

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.
Thanks,

Remove WD Group UI Element Caption?

Hello,
I was wondering if there is any way to remove the Caption row for the Group UI element? Or remove the minimize/maximize button?
What i want to achieve is a row with some background color (ex., dark blue) and place drop-down menu and place some buttons on it. Is there any other proper or workaround way to achieve this? Thanks.
Regards,
Vasu

Hi Vasu,
There is a new UI element, Panel introduced with EhP 2 which sounds like it would meet your requirement. If you're not yet on EhP 2, you may need to build something custom using TransparentContainer as others have suggested, or use Tray or Group and accept the Caption row for the time being. You can hide the Caption by setting its visible property to None or its enabled property to false, but the row itself remains unfortunately.
Cheers,
Amy

Hi,
You could have gone for a query but unfortunately,you cannot use table TSTMT in a query so I think ZREPORT would be a better option.

Customer balances in Group Currency

Is there any way to get the Customer balances in Group currency - I am running TC S_ALR_87012172 for a UK Company Code. This TC provides me balances and details in GBP only and does not provide the option to get my USD balances. Is there any other transaction which would allow me to get the same type of report but in both LC and Group currency or at least only on GC? Same goes for TC S_ALR_87012082 for the payables side.

Hi
Can you try to edit the fields in layout in same t-code , also you can try to check the report in t-code: FBL5N if group currency filed is not avalible.

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"
verticalScrollPolicy="{ScrollPolicy.OFF}"
horizontalScrollPolicy="{ScrollPolicy.OFF}"
creationComplete="initItemRendererUsers();"

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.

How do I make a Custom DataTip with Custom ItemRenderer

I can't seem to find any documentation or examples of
displaying a dataTip (similar to those used with charting) with my
custom itemRenderer (mxml component). This is for use in a
dataGridColumn. I Could someone give me an example? The closest
I've been able to find is
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg61624.html,
which doesn't say how to do it.
Thanks!

To get Group ui element dynamically what i have to do rather than the above code
Thanks in Advance
Sreenivas P

Hi Sreenivas,
Try to debug and find what line the error occurs and return it to us.
If the error occurs in
CALL METHOD view->get_root_element
   receiving
     root_view_element = object.
or in
lr_container ?= object.
you will need to check content of object.
Best regards

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.

nevermind... I found the answer a few pages later in the

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"

How To Update Custom ItemRenderer (Image) on DataGrid Edit

I have an DataGrid with 2 columns, column 1 called "Name" and column 2 called "Actions".
The "Name" column contains editable text and the "Actions" column uses a (inline) custom ItemRenderer which displays 2 icon images ( for Edit and Delete). All works fine. Clicking Edit or Delete calls the corrosponding outerDocument method.
The feature I am trying to add is as follows: when someone double-clicks on the text in the Name column to edit it, I would like the edit icon in the Actions column to ( grow/shrink, change color - or some such indication/reminder to click it ). Not seeing how to do this with the inline ItemRenderer, I created a custom item renderer class and, in that class, use mx:Resize to perform the "grow/shrink". I created a method called "pulse()" and, from within that renderer, all works well. ( for testing, I wired the icons click event to the pulse() method ). However, now I am not sure how to call that ItemRenderers "pulse()" method to perform the effect from the main DataGrid (when the user double-clicks on Name field to edit).
The tried using the DataGrid's "itemEditBegin", which fires correctly, but from that point I am not sure how to access the selected rows edit icon in the "Action" column. ( to call its pulse() ) method.
So any suggestions how I can achieve my end result? Being able to manipulate the edit icon in the "Actions" column, when the user double-clicks (edits) that row's "Name" column?
If I'm going about it all wrong, feel free to offer alternative solutions.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Check the BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA ,in the BAPI is there a table parameter EXTENSIONIN ?
which you can use to pass the values for user defined fields to the BAPI..

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

var n:int = 0;
if(this.width==0){

if (oValue != null && this.width>0) {
var m:int = this.getChildren().length;
var nWidth:int = this.width;
var xXML:XML = new XML(oValue);
for(var s:String in xXML.POINTS.children()){
var nXValue:int = xXML.POINTS.children()[s].X_VALUE;
//Total width is from 0-9, padding of 5 on left and right to
account for circle width
var n:int = (((nXValue -1)/10) * (this.width-10)) + 5;

public function PointComponent(pnColor:uint, pnX:int){
super();
graphics.clear();
graphics.beginFill(pnColor);
graphics.drawCircle(pnX, 10, 7);
}

A complete runnable example, that's great, I will give it a
try.
In the meantime, for "...set data is called four times where
there are three rows...", I have noticed this as well but have no
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.
