RE: [flexcoders] Editable DataGird, Editable ComboBox as itemRenderer

[mark goldin]

I have specified column as editable.
  No settings for renderIsEditor and itemEditor.

need to help you.  Basically, it looks like the itemRenderer is a ComboBox, but 
I don’t know if you’ve specified if that column is editable, has 
rendererIsEditor=true, has an itemEditor specified, etc.
  
  Essentially, a ComboBox will try to find the data item in its dataprovider 
when used as a renderer.  Thus, because the DG’s data is XML and the CB’s 
dataprovider isn’t, it probably can’t match and you’ll need some custom code to 
search the arraycollection for the right item and set selectedIndex 
appropriately.

          AutoComplete is subclassed Combobox.

    DataGrid is set in the code:

  public
  function setDataSource(XMLData:Object, o:Object):void 
  {
  o.dataProvider = XMLData;
    }

            Something like this:


      var


    ConsistPersonnel1Person:ClassFactory = new ClassFactory(AutoComplete); 

    var

    personArray:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([ 

    {data:1, label:

    "Conductor"}, {data:2, label:"Engineer"}, {data:3, label:"Helper"}]); 

    var consistPersonnel1Person:Object = 
accidentsModule.ConsistPersonnel1.columns[0]; 

    ConsistPersonnel1Person.properties = {dataProvider : personArray, editable 
: consistPersonnel1Person.editable};

      consistPersonnel1Person.itemRenderer = ConsistPersonnel1Person;

            Yes, it does work. But, when it is an editable control and DG is 
editable too then I have a problem. As soon as I drop it down (nothing else) 
its value gets replaced with an underlying value from the DG's datasource.

              It looks like DG.editable = true messing up combobox. I can 
easily have 
it false, but what if DG has more columns and they are plain text 
fields? Custom renderers for these too?

Thanks
