When your Flex application needs an editable datagrid, you mostly add some itemEditors or itemRenderers to change the data.
You can find a lot of samples on the web, although it is not always that easy as most of them show.
This post shows a solution when you need an itemEditor that needs data different from the itemEditor its data property.
You can see an example of this blog post behind this link.
Today I had to create an editable datagrid in my Flex application. Once a property of a row was edited, the edited item must be saved to the database.
I didn’t expect much trouble, although I get stuck with a really annoying Flex issue.
I added a listener to the dataGrid its itemEditEnd event, so I could save the item in the listener function.
For some reason, the item its property was not yet changed when the event was dispatched.
I looked for some relevant event properties, but nothing useful found.
After a while I solved it by adding a callLater in the listener. A timeOut or a callLater is not my favorite way of working, but I didn’t found a better solution.
I uploaded a sample.
Please feel free to add a better solution!
