Sanjay, Did you have any luck converting the DG Header Filter cell renderer to Flex 2.0? These are the cons that were posted with the code snippet:
CONS 1) you must maintain the same dataProvider. 2) sorting is no good. you might want to re-sort after a filter is done (but providing events and what not are still something I need to provide, probable a modelChanged event utilizing the eventName 'filter' There is still a lot to do for this renderer to make it more usable, but I figure I've gotten everyone to a dropping off point it shouldn't be too hard. As I progress with this I'll post more to this thread ######### I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do. Do you just simply want a combo-box that you select a field in the list and have it sort the datagrid? If so I believe you need to use an ArrayList collection for your dataprovider. The link that I gave you earlier seems like it would be the best for filtering a datagrid as you would be able to filter on each field/column by clicking on the header and selecting an item - which is exactly what Excel does. If you were able to convert that datagrid header filter cell renderer to Flex 2.0 can you please post the source up here? -Phil --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "sanjaypmg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I have tried it but facing a problem when I try to access > DataCollection from another MXML testCombo.mxml. > > Please Suggest::: > > See the following Code: > > filterTest.mxml:::: > > <?xml version="1.0" ?> > <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; > xmlns="../*" > > > <mx:Script> > <![CDATA[ > import mx.collections.ArrayCollection; > import mx.core.ClassFactory; > > public var object2:Object = new Object(); > public var object:Object = new Object(); > [Bindable] > > > [Bindable] > public var authorsDataProvider : ArrayCollection = new > ArrayCollection( [ > { Country: "USA", Gold: 35, Status:"Active", > URL:"http://www.google.com"; }, > { Country: "China", Gold: 32, > Status:"Deactive",URL:"http://www.yahoo.com"}, > { Country: "Russia", Gold: 27,Status:"Deactive", > URL:"http://www.hotmail.com"; }, > { Country: "India", Gold: 12, > Status:"Active",URL:"http://www.gmail.com"}, > {Country: "Russia", Gold: 27, > Status:"Deleted",URL:"http://www.hotmail.com"; }, > {Country: "Russia", Gold: 27, > Status:"Deleted",URL:"http://www.hotmail.com"; } ]); > > ]]> > </mx:Script> > <mx:Panel title="Header Filter" width="100%" height="100%"> > <mx:DataGrid id="grid" dataProvider="{authorsDataProvider}" > width="100%" height="100%" sortableColumns="false" > > <mx:columns> > <mx:Array> > <mx:DataGridColumn width="300" headerText="Country" > dataField="Country" /> > <mx:DataGridColumn width="300" headerText="Value" > dataField="Gold"/> > <mx:DataGridColumn width="300" headerText="Status" > dataField="Status" headerRenderer="testCombo"/> > <mx:DataGridColumn width="300" headerText="URL" > dataField="URL"/> > </mx:Array> > </mx:columns> > </mx:DataGrid> > </mx:Panel> > </mx:Application> > > > > testCombo.mxml::::: > > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> > > <mx:HBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";> > <mx:Label text="Sale Price!"/> > <mx:ComboBox id="cboAuthorsStatusFilter" > dataProvider="{authorsStatusArray}" > change="filterAuthorsGrid();" > > > > > <!-- dataProvider="{_parent._parent.gridData}">--> > <mx:Script> > <![CDATA[ > import mx.controls.Alert; > import mx.collections.*; > [Bindable] > public var authorsArray:Array = ["All", > "Active", > "Deactive", > "Deleted"]; > > [Bindable] > public var authorsStatusArray : Array = > populateAuthorsStatusArray(authorsArray); > > public function populateAuthorsStatusArray > (authorsArray:Array):Array > { > //Alert.show > ("authorsArray: "+authorsArray.toString()) > var statusArrayHashMap : Object = > new Object(); > var statusArray : Array = new Array; > var n:int = authorsArray.length; > for (var i:int = 0; i < n; > i++) > { > if (statusArrayHashMap > [authorsArray] == undefined) > > { > statusArrayHashMap > [authorsArray] = new Object(); > statusArray.push > (authorsArray[i]); > } else > { > statusArray.push > (authorsArray [i]); > } > > } > return statusArray; > } > public function filterAuthorsGrid():void > { > Alert.show(this.toString() > +" : "+authorsDataProvider) > > //authorsDataProvider.filterFunction=authorsStatusFilter; > > //authorsDataProvider.refresh(); > } > public function authorsStatusFilter > (item:Object):Boolean > { > if > (cboAuthorsStatusFilter.selectedItem != "All") > { > return item.status == > cboAuthorsStatusFilter.selectedItem; > } else { > return true; > } > //return true; > } > > > ]]> > </mx:Script> > </mx:ComboBox> > > </mx:HBox> > > > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "sanjaypmg" <sanjaypmg@> wrote: > > > > Thanks Phil, > > .... :) That's what I was looking for...Now I'll try to convert it > > into Flex2.0. > > > > Wish me luck.... ;) > > > > Thanks, > > Sanjay > > > > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "phipzkillah" <pkrasko@> wrote: > > > > > > I am also looking for this functionality.
