310 DataGrid component (Flash Professional only)
Example
The following example prevents the column at index 1 from being sorted:
// Set grid attributes.
my_dg.setSize(150, 100);
// Set up sample data.
my_dg.addItem({name:"Clark", score:3135});
my_dg.addItem({name:"Bruce", score:403});
my_dg.addItem({name:"Peter", score:25});
// Don't allow sort of the second column.
my_dg.getColumnAt(1).sortable = false;
DataGridColumn.sortOnHeaderRelease
Availability
Flash Player 6 (6.0.79.0).
Edition
Flash MX Professional 2004.
Usage
myDataGrid.getColumnAt(index).sortOnHeaderRelease
Description
Property; a Boolean value that indicates whether the column is sorted automatically (true) or
not (
false) when a user clicks a header. This property can be set to true only if
DataGridColumn.sortable is set to true. If DataGridColumn.sortOnHeaderRelease is set
to
false, you can catch the headerRelease event and perform your own sort.
The default value is
true.
CAUTION
The DataGrid is not editable or sortable if it is bound directly to a WebServiceConnector
component or an XMLConnector component. You must bind the DataGrid component
to the DataSet component and bind the DataSet component to the
WebServiceConnector component or XMLConnector component if you want the grid to
be editable or sortable. For more information, see Chapter 16, “Data Integration (Flash
Professional Only),” in Using Flash.
