286 DataGrid component (Flash Professional only)
DataGrid.focusedCell
Availability
Flash Player 6 (6.0.79.0).
Edition
Flash MX Professional 2004.
Usage
myDataGrid.focusedCell
Description
Property; in editable mode only, an object instance that defines the cell that has focus. The
object must have the fields
columnIndex and itemIndex, which are both integers that
indicate the index of the column and item of the cell. The origin is (0,0). The default value is
undefined.
Example
The following example sets the focused cell to the second column, eleventh row (numbered
“10” because the first row is “0”). Because you can’t access the cells until the DataGrid has
finished drawing, use
UIObject.doLater() to delay using the focusedCell property:
// Create a data provider with three columns and 50 rows.
var myDP:Array = new Array();
for (var i=0; i<50; i++)
myDP.addItem({id:i, name:"Dave", price:"Priceless"});
// Assign the data provider to the DataGrid instance and set it to be
editable.
my_dg.dataProvider = myDP;
my_dg.editable = true;
// Use UIObject.doLater() in the current timeline to call the function after
the data grid has set all of its properties.
my_dg.doLater(this, "select");
function select() {
my_dg.focusedCell = {columnIndex:1, itemIndex:10};
}
