Property Detail
columnsproperty
columns:Array

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

An array of AdvancedDataGridColumn objects, one for each column that can be displayed. If not explicitly set, the AdvancedDataGrid control attempts to examine the first data provider item to determine the set of properties and display those properties in alphabetic order.

If you want to change the set of columns, you must get this Array, make modifications to the columns and order of columns in the Array, and then assign the new Array to the columns property. This is because the AdvancedDataGrid control returns a copy of the Array of columns, not a reference, and therefore cannot detect changes to the copy.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.


Implementation
    public function get columns():Array
    public function set columns(value:Array):void
draggableColumnsproperty 
draggableColumns:Boolean

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Indicates whether you are allowed to reorder columns. If true, you can reorder the columns of the AdvancedDataGrid control by dragging the header cells.

The default value is true.


Implementation
    public function get draggableColumns():Boolean
    public function set draggableColumns(value:Boolean):void
editableproperty 
editable:String

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Indicates whether or not the user can edit items in the data provider.

If "item", the item renderers in the control are editable. The user can click on an item renderer to open an editor.

If "item group", the item renderers and grouping headers can be edited.

If "item summary", the item renderers and summary cells can be edited.

You can combine these values. For example, editable = "item group summary". Note that item editing has to be enabled if enabling group or summary editing.

If you specify an empty String, no editing is allowed.

The values "true" and "false" correspond to item editing and no editing.

A value of "all" means everything is editable.

You can turn off editing for individual columns of the AdvancedDataGrid control using the AdvancedDataGridColumn.editable property, or by handling the itemEditBeginning and itemEditBegin events.

The default value is "".


Implementation
    public function get editable():String
    public function set editable(value:String):void
editedItemPositionproperty 
editedItemPosition:Object

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The column and row index of the item renderer for the data provider item being edited, if any.

This Object has two fields, columnIndex and rowIndex, the zero-based column and row indexes of the item. For example: {columnIndex:2, rowIndex:3}

Setting this property scrolls the item into view and dispatches the itemEditBegin event to open an item editor on the specified item renderer.

The default value is null.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.


Implementation
    public function get editedItemPosition():Object
    public function set editedItemPosition(value:Object):void
editedItemRendererproperty 
editedItemRenderer:IListItemRenderer  [read-only]

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

A reference to the item renderer in the AdvancedDataGrid control whose item is currently being edited.

From within an event listener for the itemEditBegin and itemEditEnd events, you can access the current value of the item being edited using the editedItemRenderer.data property.


Implementation
    public function get editedItemRenderer():IListItemRenderer
enableIMEproperty 
enableIME:Boolean  [read-only]

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 4
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

A flag that indicates whether the IME should be enabled when the component receives focus. If the editor is up, it will set enableIME accordingly.


Implementation
    public function get enableIME():Boolean
headerInfoInitializedproperty 
protected var headerInfoInitialized:Boolean = false

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Contains true if the headerInfos property has been initialized with AdvancedDataGridHeaderInfo instances.

See also

horizontalScrollPositionproperty 
horizontalScrollPosition:Number[override]

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The offset into the content from the left edge. This can be a pixel offset in some subclasses or some other metric like the number of columns in an AdvancedDataGrid control. The AdvancedDataGrid scrolls by columns so the value of the horizontalScrollPosition property is always in the range of 0 to the index of the columns that will make the last column visible. This is different from the List control, which scrolls by pixels. The AdvancedDataGrid control always aligns the left edge of a column with the left edge of the AdvancedDataGrid control.


Implementation
    public function get horizontalScrollPosition():Number
    public function set horizontalScrollPosition(value:Number):void
imeModeproperty 
imeMode:String

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Specifies the IME (input method editor) mode. The IME mode enables users to enter text in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Flex sets the specified IME mode when the control gets the focus, and sets it back to the previous value when the control loses the focus.

The flash.system.IMEConversionMode class defines constants for the valid values for this property. You can also specify null to specify no IME.

The default value is null.


Implementation
    public function get imeMode():String
    public function set imeMode(value:String):void

See also

flash.system.IMEConversionMode
isKeyPressedproperty 
protected var isKeyPressed:Boolean = false

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Contains true if a key press is in progress.

itemEditorInstanceproperty 
public var itemEditorInstance:IListItemRenderer

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

A reference to the currently active instance of the item editor, if it exists.

To access the item editor instance and the new item value when an item is being edited, you use the itemEditorInstance property. The itemEditorInstance property is not valid until after the event listener for the itemEditBegin event executes. Therefore, you typically only access the itemEditorInstance property from within the event listener for the itemEditEnd event.

The AdvancedDataGridColumn.itemEditor property defines the class of the item editor, and therefore the data type of the item editor instance.

You do not set this property in MXML.

lookAheadDurationproperty 
public var lookAheadDuration:Number = 400

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The type look-ahead duration, in milliseconds, for multi-character look ahead. Setting it to 0 will turn off multiple character type ahead lookup.

The default value is 400.

minColumnWidthproperty 
minColumnWidth:Number

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The minimum width of the columns, in pixels. If not NaN, the AdvancedDataGrid control applies this value as the minimum width for all columns. Otherwise, individual columns can have their own minimum widths.

The default value is NaN.


Implementation
    public function get minColumnWidth():Number
    public function set minColumnWidth(value:Number):void
orderedHeadersListproperty 
protected var orderedHeadersList:Array

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

An ordered list of AdvancedDataGridHeaderInfo instances that correspond to the visible column headers.

resizableColumnsproperty 
public var resizableColumns:Boolean = true

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

A flag that indicates whether the user can change the size of the columns. If true, the user can stretch or shrink the columns of the AdvancedDataGrid control by dragging the grid lines between the header cells. If true, individual columns must also have their resizeable properties set to false to prevent the user from resizing a particular column.

The default value is true.

sortableColumnsproperty 
public var sortableColumns:Boolean = true

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

A flag that indicates whether the user can sort the data provider items by clicking on a column header cell. If true, the user can sort the data provider items by clicking on a column header cell. The AdvancedDataGridColumn.dataField property of the column or the AdvancedDataGridColumn.sortCompareFunction property of the column is used as the sort field. If a column is clicked more than once, the sort alternates between ascending and descending order. If true, individual columns can be made to not respond to a click on a header by setting the column's sortable property to false.

When a user releases the mouse button over a header cell, the AdvancedDataGrid control dispatches a headerRelease event if both this property and the column's sortable property are true. If no handler calls the preventDefault() method on the event, the AdvancedDataGrid sorts using that column's AdvancedDataGridColumn.dataField or AdvancedDataGridColumn.sortCompareFunction properties.

The default value is true.

sortExpertModeproperty 
sortExpertMode:Boolean

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

By default, the sortExpertMode property is set to false, which means you click in the header area of a column to sort the rows of the AdvancedDataGrid control by that column. You then click in the multiple-column sort area of the header to sort by additional columns. If you set the sortExpertMode property to true, you use the Control key to select every column after the first column to perform sort.

The default value is false.


Implementation
    public function get sortExpertMode():Boolean
    public function set sortExpertMode(value:Boolean):void

Event Detail
columnStretch Event
Event Object Type: mx.events.AdvancedDataGridEvent
AdvancedDataGridEvent.type property = mx.events.AdvancedDataGridEvent.COLUMN_STRETCH

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Dispatched when a user changes the width of a column, indicating that the amount of data displayed in that column may have changed. If horizontalScrollPolicy is "none", other columns shrink or expand to compensate for the columns' resizing, and they also dispatch this event.

The AdvancedDataGridEvent.COLUMN_STRETCH constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a columnStretch event, which indicates that a user expanded a column horizontally.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse
columnIndex The zero-based index of the item's column in the AdvancedDataGrid object's columns array.
currentTargetThe Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use myButton.addEventListener() to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the currentTarget.
dataFieldThe name of the field or property in the data associated with the column.
itemThe AdvancedDataGrid item (node) that closed.
itemRenderernull
localXThe x position of the mouse.
multiColumnSort false
reasonnull
removeColumnFromSortfalse
rowIndexThe zero-based index of the item in the data provider.

AdvancedDataGridEvent.type property = mx.events.AdvancedDataGridEvent.HEADER_RELEASE

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Dispatched when the user releases the mouse button on a column header to request the control to sort the grid contents based on the contents of the column. Only dispatched if the column is sortable and the data provider supports sorting. The AdvancedDataGrid control has a default handler for this event that implements a single-column sort. Multiple-column sort can be implemented by calling the preventDefault() method to prevent the single column sort and setting the sort property of the data provider.

Note: The sort arrows are defined by the default event handler for the headerRelease event. If you call the preventDefault() method in your event handler, the arrows are not drawn.

The AdvancedDataGridEvent.HEADER_RELEASE constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a headerRelease event, which indicates that the user pressed and released the mouse on a column header.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
cancelabletrue
columnIndex The zero-based index of the item's column in the AdvancedDataGrid object's columns array.

Dispatched when the editedItemPosition property has been set and the item can be edited.

The AdvancedDataGridEvent.ITEM_EDIT_BEGIN constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a itemEditBegin event, which indicates that an item is ready to be edited.

The default listener for this event performs the following actions:

You can write an event listener for this event to modify the data passed to the item editor. For example, you might modify the data, its format, or other information used by the item editor.

You can also create an event listener to specify the item editor used to edit the item. For example, you might have two different item editors. Within the event listener, you can examine the data to be edited or other information, and open the appropriate item editor by doing the following:

  1. Call preventDefault() to stop Flex from calling the createItemEditor() method as part of the default event listener.
  2. Set the itemEditor property to the appropriate editor.
  3. Call the createItemEditor() method.
