Editing

CaseyBentz

I am attempting to implement an editing solution for a stand alone table.  I basically have it all figured out but, would like to run through a list of questions/frustrations in hope that someone has solved them.

I am using an attribute inspector with a list of field inspectors.  I have been unable to make the attribute inspector height property big enough.  Basically, it looks like there is a max height that I am unable to get past.  I have a couple comments type fields and the get a big text area box which takes up a ton of space and that gives me a vertical slider which makes me really annoyed.  I have tried to set the height of every parent container and still get the same max height.

The renderers are annoying to say the least.  I have a bunch of comboboxes that are populated with domain values.  This is great, however the combobox has the first value from the domain as the default value, can I not set a prompt?  This is causing confusion for my users.  Say I have a combobox that defaults to 'Class A' and the user wants 'Class A' as the value.  They assume they don't have to do anything because the value already says 'Class A'.  Well, the value only gets saved if the user opens and closes the combobox. 

Also, I would like to change the width of the combobox.  I can't figure out how this is possible.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

HI Casey

i would like to implement something like you mentioned, ie, an attribute only editing functionality in the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex for both map features and stand-alone tables, where the user can do a selection of many features on the map and the attributes of all the selected features would populate a more appropriate GUI (like a datagrid).

Looking at the samples (the attribute inspector outside of the map sample), I'm not sure how this can be implemented. Would you be able to share the steps on how you achieved your customized editing template (instead of using the AttributeInspector)?

Also, is there a way in which we can stop the auto-posting of changed attribute values in the Attribute Inspector?

Any advice would be appreciated.
thanks
