Which component

Question

Be gentle, I am new to Flex.
On the Flex.org site, in the Showcase,
http://flex.org/showcase/
Which component is being used to display the list? Is it a
styled datagrid?
Many thanks,
john

Answer 1

Yes, I would only show the minimum needed, and leave editing/detailed views/whatever to dialog boxes.
The layout I had in mind is actually the same you proposed, I abandoned the idea of buttons inside the list.
My problems are more of technical nature:
I need to be able to select an item on the list, and the component must know which element I selected, so I don't know what is better, if JList or JTable. I don't need direct editing, that can be done by separate dialogs.
TableModel dataModel = new AbstractTableModel() {
          public int getColumnCount() { return 10; }
          public int getRowCount() { return 10;}
          public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) { return new Integer(row*col); }
      JTable table = new JTable(dataModel);this is the code I found at the JTable Sun documentation: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/JTable.html
The problem is that the Model only has methods that read data, and not to write it. So, if f.e. I use addColumn, where is it going to add the new column?
PS: everything was so easy and simple with GUI editors for other languages, but here everything is so different and strange, I think I'm gonna cry T_T
