One more question concerning datagrids 1

[lucidtech]

I read somewhere, though now I cant remember where or how to do this, that you can insert a checkbox into a column of a datagrid. Any ideas?

ya it can be done. create a new movice clip instance. open up the linkage put in identifer call it 'CheckCellRenderer' and in the AS 2.0 class put 'mx.controls.cells.CheckCellRenderer'

var myColumn = new DataGridColumn("name");
myColumn.cellRenderer = "CheckCellRenderer";

datagrid.addColumn(myColumn);

Great info Womblies!

Yes, thanks for the help. I just want to add one thing.. I spent hours trying to figure out why this didnt work, because I am stubborn and hate asking for help, especially a second time... but I did some research and it turns out the only thing I was doing wrong was forgetting to add a combobox to my library. Thank again.

That's definitely a bummer. Womblies didn't mention the library by name but he did tell you to do that.

create a new movice clip instance. open up the linkage put in identifer call it 'CheckCellRenderer' and in the AS 2.0 class put 'mx.controls.cells.CheckCellRenderer'

You can only do those things (except creating a new MC) in the library.

Glad you got it working though!

Im glad I got it to work too. But the problem wasnt the CheckCellRenderer at all, I had that all correct. What I didnt have was a checkbox in my library. So what I did was drag a texbox onto the stage, then simply deleted it. It remained in the library, and my program worked fine. Thank again
