well, I didnt get any errors after extending the simpleScheduleEntry to the UIComponent and implementing IFocusManagerComponent on the class as well, so you know, little victories and all that. Now I just have to get it to actually set the focus on the first result in the row of the scheduler and have the tabbing actually work.
I have tabChildren="true" for the schedule but it appears that the dataprovider is a nested array so the childrens children have to be tab enabled....er...I think. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Only if SImpleScheduleEntry extends UIComponent.
