Format Datagrid, Column Widths

[Sam050507]

Hi,

I'm having a tough time getting the datagrid to play nice.

cont_dg.columnNames=["Contacts", "Vendors", "idx"];
cont_dg.getColumnAt(0).width = 70;
cont_dg.getColumnAt(1).width = 200;
cont_dg.getColumnAt(2).width = 0;

This will fix the column headers and widths, but it throws the data out of wack. If I don't use that code, I see data - when I use the code, no data appears.

Anybody know of any really good, clear tutorials for using the datagrid?

Changing the width of the column should not affect the data displayed. How are you setting the data?

Thanks Ken,

I'm using a binding between the datagrid and an XMLConnector.

Wow.

I put this at the top of my include file and it worked right off:

import mx.controls.DataGrid;

I thought it would have thrown an error if it couldn't already see that.

Long lesson learned (7.5 hours of hacking).
