Author: Janez Feldin (6 Articles) - Author Website

I know there are alot already written classes for data searching and sorting, but I wrote this example anyway, because if you know how things are done you can customize/change it for your needs.

Drag and Drop from DataGrid or AdvancedDataGrid to Tree

One of the coolest things in Flex is the ability to create Drag and Drop operations very easily. For List base controls like the List and DataGrid / AdvancedDataGrid, it works out of the box, just set the dragEnabled property of the source and the dropEnabled property of the other and it’s already working. Dragging and Dropping to a Tree however, does not work by simply setting the dropEnabled property. The following example shows you how you can drag items from a DataGrid / AdvancedDataGrid to a Tree.

Just as the MouseWheel controlled slider idea, I had this idea when I was working on my flex MP3 player as well. I wanted to give the user the possibility to add tracks to a playlist by clicking a small plus icon in a DataGrid. There are a couple of things that have to be done to achieve this:

  1. Use an itemRenderer to show an Image instead of text
  2. Put the image in button mode so that it can be clicked
  3. Put an event handler on the click or double-click event of the image
  4. Code the event handler
