Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Can anyone help on getting data from a grid cell .. I
know the row/column index
Found the solution from a guy who emailed me ... thx
This is what worked for me:
yourDataGrid. addEventListener (ListEvent. ITEM_CLICK, setColumnCopy) ;
function setColumnCopy( ){
_selectedCol = yourDataGrid. columns[event. columnIndex] .dataField;
Alert.show(yourData Grid.selectedIte m[_selectedCol] );
}
As always, Thank you for all the help and support.
