[flexcoders] Re: Using DateField as itemEditor for DataGrid column
Thanks much, Alex!
I was trying to accomplish something similar, but wasn't having much
luck getting it to work.
I'm using Hot Fix 1, and, as I mentioned, it throws an exception with
my example as well... when run under the debug player. Otherwise it
was silent. I saw the if statement in the data setter for the
DateField, noticed that there was a case for data incoming as a
string, and figured it was just a matter of getting the format correct.
Thank you again. You're a lifesaver.

DateField isn't really set up to handle XML when it is an item renderer.
I sort of got it working like this:

Hi Alex,
Sure. (Holiday-themed) example below. :-) XML inline, of course,
rather than loaded from external doc as in my final app. As is, it
works (all data is shown, and clicking in the date field opens the
DateField editor... there's a coercion error on click in debug, but
it's silent when not in debug).
Changing the date DataGridColumn to
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Date dataField=date
width=100 editable=true
itemRenderer=mx.controls.DateField
editorDataField=selectedDate rendererIsEditor=true /
prevents any data from being shown. In debug, the coercion error
occurs immediately on creation... which makes perfect sense.
So the issue is definitely that Flex can't parse the date from the XML
node. But I'm at a loss as to how to define the date in the XML to fix
the problem. Am I going to have to step through the XML and convert it
to an Object, converting the date along the way? Or is there a more
straight-forward solution I'm missing? Would there be a way to wrap
the DateField in a custom renderer that can convert the date on the fly?

Why is that? We're still using HF1 at work because we've not had time
to do regression testing on all of our WebService operations. I
suppose its a good thing too, considering all the changes in Flex 3
would require us to test yet again.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Using DateField as itemEditor for DataGrid column
Simply because each release theoretically got better w/o degradation in
other places. I know that's not totally true so a few of you are
relying on older releases, but I often find myself looking at these
examples on to realize they got fixed already.
It would also depend on how close I am to shipping. If I'm just about
ready to publish, I probably wouldn't upgrade either, but otherwise, if
I saw what appeared to be an obvious problem, I would certainly at least
try it on a 'latest' release.

[flexcoders] Re: Using DateField as itemEditor for DataGrid column
Thank you, Alex.
I'll need to be patient. ;-)
One other thing I found interesting, in looking at the source of the
DateField from the SDK, it appears that the data setter *does* have
allowances for dates as strings... so I'm not sure why it's not
working... unless I'm really not formatting the date string properly.
But I've tried every format I can think of.
Thanks again, Alex!

occurs immediately on creation... which makes perfect sense.
So the issue is definitely that Flex can't parse the date from the XML
node. But I'm at a loss as to how to define the date in the XML to fix
the problem. Am I going to have to step through the XML and convert it
to an Object, converting the date along the way? Or is there a more
straight-forward solution I'm missing? Would there be a way to wrap
the DateField in a custom renderer that can convert the date on the
fly?

Subject: [flexcoders] Using DateField as itemEditor for DataGrid
column
I'm having a problem using a DateField as a itemRenderer/editor for
a
column in a dataGrid.
If I set the DateField as my itemEditor, everything works perfectly.
But if I set the DateField as my itemRenderer and set
rendererIsEditor
to true the dataGrid renders completely blank (no data in *any*
field)
and locks down so *nothing* is editable.

[flexcoders] Re: Using DateField as itemEditor for DataGrid column
Hi Alex,
Sure. (Holiday-themed) example below. :-) XML inline, of course,
rather than loaded from external doc as in my final app. As is, it
works (all data is shown, and clicking in the date field opens the
DateField editor... there's a coercion error on click in debug, but
it's silent when not in debug).
Changing the date DataGridColumn to
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Date dataField=date
width=100 editable=true
itemRenderer=mx.controls.DateField
editorDataField=selectedDate rendererIsEditor=true /
prevents any data from being shown. In debug, the coercion error
occurs immediately on creation... which makes perfect sense.
So the issue is definitely that Flex can't parse the date from the XML
node. But I'm at a loss as to how to define the date in the XML to fix

Subject: [flexcoders] Using DateField as itemEditor for DataGrid column
I'm having a problem using a DateField as a itemRenderer/editor for a
column in a dataGrid.
If I set the DateField as my itemEditor, everything works perfectly.
But if I set the DateField as my itemRenderer and set rendererIsEditor
to true the dataGrid renders completely blank (no data in *any* field)
and locks down so *nothing* is editable.
In reading posts in the archives in this group and elsewhere, folks
with similar issues were told to make sure the data bound to the
column is of type date.
But I have two issues with that:
1) if it wasn't understood as being of type date, why would it work
when the dateField was set as the itemEditor
and
2) I'm loading in the dataProvider for the DataGrid as a Bindable
XMLListCollection from an external XML file... and I'm not sure how I
can designate in XML that the node is of type date.
Anyone have any info or pointers? They'd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
-Carl
