RE: [flexcoders] Showing data in Datagrid

[Tracy Spratt]

You need to use a labelFunction. <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="X Pos" labelFunction="lfShowPOS"/>   private function lfShowPOS(item:Object, , column:DataGridColumn):void{   var sLabel:String = ""   var sHeaderText:String = column.headerText;   //you could probaly also use index, or dataField   switch (sHeaderText)  {     case "X Pos":       sLabel = item.position.x;       break;     case "Y Pos":       sLabel = item.position.y;       break;                                            }     return sLabel; }   Tracy From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of zorelake Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2006 5:09 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Showing data in Datagrid   Hi all! I've just started with Flex and I have some doubts I hope you could solve. I have a Datagrid filled with the result of a Java Method (getRestaurants). This method returns a list of Restaurant objects with the fields "name" and "adress". <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Name" dataField="name"/> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Address" dataField="address"/> I have no problems doing this, but I need to show another property called "position". This property is an instance of a Position class, whose properties are "x" and "y". I mean: Restaurant { name: String; address: String; position: Position; // Contains x and y } In order to show "x" and "y" in the Datagrid, I'd need something like this: <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="X" dataField="position.x"/> but it doesn´t work. I've tried in several ways, but with no results. I've checked the field "position" and it contains the correct values. So, I only need to show them!!.How could I do this? I'd be very pleased if you could help me! Thanks in advance!
