DataGrid control is like a List except that it can
show more than one column of data making it suited for showing
objects with multiple properties.
The DataGrid control provides the following features:
The DataGrid control has the following default sizing characteristics:
| Characteristic | Description |
|---|---|
| Default size | If the columns are empty, the default width is 300 pixels. If the columns contain information but define no explicit widths, the default width is 100 pixels per column. The DataGrid width is sized to fit the width of all columns, if possible. The default number of displayed rows, including the header is 7, and each row, by default, is 20 pixels high. |
| Minimum size | 0 pixels. |
| Maximum size | 5000 by 5000. |

| columns | property |
columns:Array[override] | Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
An array of DataGridColumn objects, one for each column that can be displayed. If not explicitly set, the DataGrid 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 DataGrid control returned a new copy of the array of columns and therefore did not notice the changes.
This property can be used as the source for data binding.
public function get columns():Array public function set columns(value:Array):void| draggableColumns | property |
draggableColumns:Boolean| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
A flag that indicates whether the user is allowed to reorder columns.
If true, the user can reorder the columns
of the DataGrid control by dragging the header cells.
The default value is true.
public function get draggableColumns():Boolean public function set draggableColumns(value:Boolean):void| editable | property |
editable:Boolean| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
A flag that indicates whether or not the user can edit
items in the data provider.
If true, the item renderers in the control are editable.
The user can click on an item renderer to open an editor.
You can turn off editing for individual columns of the
DataGrid control using the DataGridColumn.editable property,
or by handling the itemEditBeginning and
itemEditBegin events
The default value is false.
public function get editable():Boolean public function set editable(value:Boolean):void| editedItemPosition | property |
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.
public function get editedItemPosition():Object public function set editedItemPosition(value:Object):void| editedItemRenderer | property |
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 DataGrid 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.
public function get editedItemRenderer():IListItemRenderer| enableIME | property |
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.
public function get enableIME():Boolean| horizontalScrollPosition | property |
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 a DataGrid control.
The DataGrid 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 that scrolls by pixels. The DataGrid control always aligns the left edge
of a column with the left edge of the DataGrid control.
public function get horizontalScrollPosition():Number public function set horizontalScrollPosition(value:Number):void| imeMode | property |
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 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.
public function get imeMode():String public function set imeMode(value:String):voidSee also
| itemEditorInstance | property |
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 DataGridColumn.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.
| minColumnWidth | property |
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 DataGrid 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.
public function get minColumnWidth():Number public function set minColumnWidth(value:Number):void| resizableColumns | property |
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 DataGrid control by dragging the grid lines between the header cells.
If true, individual columns must also have their
resizable properties set to false to
prevent the user from resizing a particular column.
The default value is true.
| sortableColumns | property |
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 DataGridColumn.dataField property of the column
or the DataGridColumn.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 DataGrid
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
DataGrid sorts using that column's DataGridColumn.dataField or
DataGridColumn.sortCompareFunction properties.
The default value is true.

when the scroll position has changed by less than
the number of visible rows. In that situation
some rows are unchanged and just need to be moved,
other rows are removed and then new rows are added.
If the scroll position changes too much, all old rows are removed
and new rows are added by calling the makeRowsAndColumns()
method for the entire viewable area.
