1. Nested Data Grid | Nate's Code Vault on 27 Jun 2009

   [...] Another reason to use NestedDataGrid is that I also add support for using brackets instead of just the dot syntax, which allows you to access properties inside of an Array or ArrayCollection, or using properties on an object at runtime (i.e. object[property]).  You can also do as many nested levels as you want (i.e. dataField=”object.object1.object2.arrayCollection[0].property1…).  It also works great for XML-based data providers as of my latest update.

   Great component you have done. But somehow when the grid is editable, after clicking the cell it will cause an error. Do you have any idea to resolve this issue?

   A very nice component, thanks for sharing it.
   I have been trying to make a NestedAdvancedDataGrid version of your component but I am having some trouble, I get some errors with the lastSortIndex and sortIndex properties, e.g:

   1178: Attempted access of inaccessible property lastSortIndex through a reference with static type nross:NestedAdvancedDataGrid. NestedAdvancedDataGrid.as

   Have you made the Advanced version?

   First : great job !

   Do the NestedDataGrid works with Flex 3.4 sdk ?
   Because I have made an example with your component and I have this error :

   
ArgumentError: Error #1063: Non-correspondance du nombre d'arguments sur mx.controls.dataGridClasses::DataGridColumn/complexColumnSortCompare(). 2 prévu(s), 3 détecté(s).

   In english, it says that the function complexColumnSortCompare needs 2 parameters but there are 3.

   How can we fix this bug ?

   Thank you! But suppose you want to concatenate all of the Parameter values? In your Parameters[2] you have two parameter values but show only one. How could you have

   parameter1, parameter2

   first
   second
   third

   first, second, third

   Any help would be appreciated. Have you tried this with Flex 4?

   @Sebastian,

   I tried to make an AdvancedNestedDataGrid, but ran into the same problem you found. The issue is that Adobe made the lastSortIndex and sortIndex properties private. For the NestedDataGrid, they were protected so I could use them. I tried a couple different things (although I didn’t spend a whole lot of time on it) and wound up calling it quits.

   That is the frustrating part about having private variables/methods in the Flex framework.

   @Vincent

   There was an issue that was introduced in Flex 3.4. I fixed the issue and uploaded a new version to my site. Let me know if that helps you.
