Floating DataGrid Widget question

MarkCastenson — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 13:38:23 GMT

I have an SFV application that I would like to have the floating datagrid (that Robert Scheitlin created) show when a user searches for data. I guess, I would like to to eliminate the user clicking on the button to show the floating grid. Any help?

Thanks,
Mark

Mark,

Just add showGridResults(null); right after the onFault function inside the queryFeaturesText function and queryFeaturesGraphical function.

It didn't work. I added that line in the SearchWidget.mxml in both spots and the grid did not show up. Am I still missing something?

Mark,

Attach you SearchWidget.mxml. I test this and it worked for me.

Mark,

What was meaning when I said after the onFault function was after the closing curly brace for the function like this:

//on fault
     function onFault(info:Object, token:Object = null) : void
     {                    
      showMessage(info.toString(), false);         
     }
                                        showGridResults(null);

Perfect!! That is exactly what I wanted to do!

My colleague and friend Cory Hines has great respect for you as do I.

Thanks a bunch!

Best Regards!
Mark

Hello...

I was wondering if there is a way to change the Column heading fields in the floating data grid? I have it working just fine, but I would like to change lables for the columns to be a bit more descriptive.

Thanks.
Frank

If you use the property showalias="true" in the xml, it should show the field alias' on the columns.

Joshua,

I went ahead used the showalias="true", as seen below. But I still get the original column heading displayed in the floating grid. Or is there another way to apply this property.

<gridfields showalias="true">field1,field2,field3</gridfields>

Frank,

Do you know which version of the code you have? The alias feature was added in one of my latter versions. Probably best to just go get the latest version if you are not sure.
