I also looked at Alex's code and decided I wanted something a little more suited to my peculiar needs. I implemented a custom control which has two data grids, one for the data and one for the totals at the bottom. I also added some fancy code to cope with making totals in different ways (e.g. aggregating averages - the old sum(x)/n vs sum(x/n) problem) and to handle formatting.
It is not as clean an interface as I would like, but it is pretty useful and it now appears in lots of places in my UI. There is a known bug where the column widths are misaligned when trhe control first shows, but my users seems to be able to live with that. If you contact me at simon.palmer @ gmail.com I'll send you some code and you can perhaps adopt it for your own needs. If I could figure out a host who would allow swf's I'd post it on my blog. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Guy Morton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi people > > What is the best way to achieve a footer row in a DataGrid? > > I want to be able to set the values in the footer row myself, ie I > don't need it to do any fancy calculations. > > I found this: > > http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2008/03/flex_3_datagrid_footers.html > > Does anyone have a better idea as to how to proceed? > > TIA > > Guy >
