RE: [flexcoders] Grid alignment
Title: Message I'm using a grid for layout purposes and can't seem to get one of my items to align right. I basically want two items on the same row but one ofthem aligned right and one aligned left (labels). Hey John - this is what we'd call a "bad code smell" and is one of the MXML Refactorings we talk about. Rather than use a grid to achieve your layout (grids can be quite an expensive component for the layout manager to deal with) why don't you look into the component and play with widths, so that you can have the Spacer consume all the space necessary to push your rightmost component to the far right...? ie: Make sense ?

Title: Message Ok coo Steven. I'll give that a look. I started to ask the question if using Grids was like using tables in html.

RE: [flexcoders] Grid Header ContextMenu
Hi, We only support context-menus at application level only, not to any children of application or to nested objects. However you can add context-menu items to TextInput, TextArea or anything that uses a Flash TextField. Hopefully, in future context-menu would be supported for nested objects. But there is workaround, you can add/remove context menu items to main context menu depending upon where mouse pointer isSo if user right clicks on header, you can detect that mouse pointer is on datagrid header and add context menu items... Does it make sense? -abdul -Original Message- From: viraf_bankwalla [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 5:10 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Grid Header ContextMenu Hi, How do I create a context menu for my Header in a grid?

Grid from XML will not be generated automatically, but you can write your logic to parse XML and add GridRow/GridItem as required. No, DataGrid doesn't support ColSpan type formatting, but can it be achieved by writing custom row renderer? ##DynamicGrid.mxml## http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; creationComplete="createGrid()"> -abdul -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jae Hess Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2005 2:59 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Grid Creation from XML Is it possible to create GridRows and GridItems via Actionscript?

Re: [flexcoders] grid does not occupy all of TabNavigator container ?
I don't have a perfect solution yet, but the DataGrid is getting clipped by the Application container, which extends Box. You can set a width="700" on your Positions.mxml Application container and you will see the whole DataGrid. However, this may not be perfect since you might want a percentage value there. I think that I read something one that Loaded apps default to around 400 wide. I will try to get see if I can get a non-hardcoded width working. BTW: Is there a reason you are using Loader instead of just doing this: -James > > > I will pay $20 to the first person who can solve this problem !! > > Please look at this code: > http://www.geocities.com/sanjayd.rm/freelance/positionsRepoRates.zip > > when you bring up the application using via 'Main.mxml', > the grid in the 'Positions.mxml' app does not show all the columns ! > The last column is clipped..any idea why ? > Thanks in advance.
