I'm really kind of stumped on how to do what I want to do. I've looked into flexgrids, datagrids, and listboxes, but none of them seem to suit my needs, or they're for .NET only.
What I need to be able to do is this:
--The user opens a record (it has a unique record id)
--I give the user a list of documents to choose from.
--They select one of them, and click send.
--This writes the record to my SQLServer backend, with recordid (current record), docname(selected doc), and datesent (current date).
--There is also a confirmation date that will need to be populated at a later date.
--They can send multiple documents on one record.
--Each document must be selectable so that they user can go back to it to enter a confirmation date.
I was thinking about 2 listboxes: one to show available document to send, and the other to hold document that have been sent. But listboxes aren't multicolumn, so that won't really work.
I don't know enough about flex or datagrids, or even know if they'll work.
I'm kind concerned that I can't even explain what I'm trying to do. I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense, but I'm at one of those points right now -- where every other part of the app is done, and I have no idea how I'm going to tackle this part of it.
Thanks,
Timo
