Two things that I needed to add to my on-going play with my DataGrids, one was to hide a column and the other was to set the width. Hiding isn’t so much hiding the column more like removing it. The method for doing this is: removeColumnAt() and the argument passed in is the column number. In the example below I remove the first one (numbering starts with 0). [as]// Responder function for result function myRemotingFunciton_Result (result_rs) { dg_myDataGridName.removeColumnAt(0) // hide the ID dg_myDataGridName.setDataProvider(result_rs); }[/as] The other type (setting the width) involves editing a file that I refered to in a previous post. So if you had the followig code for styling a column in your dataGrid: [as]import mx.controls.gridclasses.DataGridColumn; yourDataGridInstanceName.columnNames = [“contactName”, “companyName”, “contactPhone”, “summary”]; //customize column headers var contactCol:DataGridColumn = yourDataGridInstanceName.getColumnAt(0); contactCol.headerText = “Contact”;[/as] You’d simply add this to set the width to 120 and then simply save your file: [as]contactCol.width = 120;[/as]
