Ah yes, keep forgetting about that sort requirement.
So yes, your code is fine, or Graham can just write his own search loop. FWIW, truly hard-core folks would not use [i] to access a dataprovider as it may not implement IList and only ICollectionView, but nobody has yet shown me such an implementation. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Alves Sent: Sunday, September 16, 2007 8:41 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Searching array for item Alex, I have tried the method you suggest, but it did not act the way I wanted, because it forces me to create a sort on my ArrayCollection, which sorts my grid. I extended the datagrid to find the value I am looking for based on the value and the name of the value. Let us know if you see a disadvantage to doing this. http://example.3alves.com/superdatagrid/ <http://example.3alves.com/superdatagrid/> right click to see the source: http://example.3alves.com/superdatagrid/srcview/ <http://example.3alves.com/superdatagrid/srcview/> Graham, Wait for Alex to give the green light before you use this approach. I have only used it with my ComboBox 's and am not sure if it is good practice.
