thanks for reply. "selectedItem" works perfect in the described case, but it doesn't seem to work with
selectionMode="multipleCells"; selectedItem returns null in this case. Documentation states that "selectedCells" needs to be used. However,selectedCells does not contain data itself, it has "rowIndex" that points to the row number, but not to the index in dataprovider. So, the question is: how to get the clicked row (or cell) data if rowIndex is not pointing to DP and selectedItem is null? --- In [email protected], shaun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Djamshed wrote: > > When you open children in AdvancedDataGrid which uses Hierarchical > > data, rowIndex in selectedCells does not refer to the ADG's > > dataprovider index. > > > > Here is the example: http://djamshed.googlepages.com/grid.html > > Source is here: http://djamshed.googlepages.com/Grid.mxml.html > > > > Open a child node and DOUBLE CLICK on any cell of a child, rowIndex > > seems correct (in terms of reflecting the row number), but this > > rowIndex definitely does NOT REFER to the index in dataprovider.
