checkBoxes(cellRenderers) in datagrids..

[subba]

Hi,

I am using flash remoting and trying to set the data in a datagrid.After I get the data,I am adding a column name for checkboxes and i need those checkboxes to work. I am using the macromedia's cellRenderer classes -> CheckBoxCell.as from this site
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flash/fl8/samples.html#component_samples

I just copied the CheckBoxCell component from the CellRendererers_sample.fla to my .fla. I am using the cell renderer like this.

my_datagrid.getColumnAt(0).cellRenderer = "CheckBoxCell";
if(my_datagrid.selectedItem.select != undefined)
trace("this is right");
else
trace("we shouldn't come here");


When i publish the fla file, I couldn't see the checkboxes in the datagrid and I am totally lost.Can somebody help me with this and correct me if i am doing something wrong.

Thanks,
Subba

Hi Scubba ,

take a look here :

http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/cellrenderer/

http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/flashPHP/cellRenderer/index.php

yup...I checked out that site and downloaded the files(source)...There is no CheckCellRenderer.as file.
I am using importing mx.controls.cells.CheckCellRenderer and tried to use it...but it is not working.I am not sure why it is not working

import mx.controls.cells.CheckCellRenderer;
var aData:Array = [
{Name:"Robert", Sign:"Cancer", Food:"Thai"},
{Name:"Harry", Sign:"Leo", Food:"italian"}
];
my_datagrid.dataProvider = aData;

my_datagrid.setSize(200,100);
my_datagrid.getColumnAt(0).cellRenderer = "CheckCellRenderer";

I am not sure why it is not working...Actually I want a new column which shows the checkboxes...but I am testing for now just to show checkboxes in any column...pleasee helpp.

Thanks,
Subba

I tried those examples in the begining....If you see my original post here, I was using the "CheckBoxCell" from the site and I downloaded CheckBoxCell.as and put in my folder and was using AS IS..As it didnt work, i tried to use the car-flash example and that didn't work too..

I am not getting any errors, but I am not able to see the checkBoxes in the datagrid..Is there something to do with the boolean values? ..Do i need to use labelFunction...I tried this also

my_datagrid.getColumnAt(0).cellRenderer = "CheckCellRenderer";
my_datagrid.getColumnAt(0).labelFunction = function(row:Object) { return true };


its not working yet...pls suggest something.

Thanks,
Subba

I tried like this to add a new column to an already populated datagrid(my_datagrid)

var column = new DataGridColumn("testing");
column.headerText = "Testing";
column.width = 80;
column.cellRenderer = "CheckBoxCell";
// tried the mx.controls.cells.CheckCellRenderer
// import mx.controls.cells.CheckCellRenderer;
// column.cellRenderer."CheckCellRenderer";
my_datagrid.addColumn(column);

Finally I want my cell renderer to work for this new columns as I want to add a new column with checkboxes and have the functionality related to other columns....its not working yet...

Hi Subba ,

i dont realy know what is going wrong @ your Enviroment ??!!??
just check if you have the >.< includet in your As 2.0 compiling classpaths , what force the Flashcompiler to include the classscripts in the directory where the Sourcefile are placed to be .

I just checked the example Yesterday night if it is working and i see the checkboxes

I'm using the CheckBoxCell rendering component with a Datagrid. I'm getting my data from a SQL database everything seems to work fine, but they are all selected when I test my movie. I've tried to change my column in my database; first I tried true/false, then I tried yes/no --- nothing works they all just show up selected. What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks,

I have tried the CheckCellRenderer.as and it works to put the CheckBox into a cell.

I have set the dataProvider of my DataGrid to an array. How do I get the value of the CheckBox to change the correct value of the dataProvider?
