I’m badly in need of that functionality for my application. Could you guide me in how to do that? I’m not that a good coder, but I’ll try my best to achieve that functionality with your guidance

Hi Angeline,
For now such “global filtering” is not supported. You could implement it by extending MDataGrid code and adding another filter function to the dataProvider.
Let me know if you would like me to implement it as a freelance contract.
Cheers,
Iwo

Hi Iwo, I had implemented your filtering function. Found it very useful. Thanka a lot. But in the search Function given at the bottom of the datagrid, I want only the search items to be displayed and not just highlighted. How can I achieve this?

Hi Ron,
This error means that you don’t have com.iwobanas.controls.DataGrid class in your source path. To use sources from this post save zipped sources and than use Flex Builder “File” -> “Import” -> “Flex Project…” wizard to import the archive as project.

I have renamed searchable DataGrid to MDataGrid which is available at http://code.google.com/p/reusable-fx/. Download binary release and extract ReusableFx.swc to libs directory of your project. You can have a look at other posts on this blog to find how to use MDataGrid.
Hope this will be of some help.

Hey Iwo,

I’ve downloaded the source, but I keep getting this error when I build:

1046:type was not found or not a compile time constant: DataGrid

Do you have any idea how to resolve that issue. I’ve been searching forums, but haven’t figured out how to fix it.

Hey Iwo

TypeError: Error #1009: Nie można uzyskać dostępu do właściwości lub metody dla odniesienia do obiektu null.
at com.iwobanas.controls::DataGrid/matchItem()
at com.iwobanas.controls::DataGrid/findItem()
at com.iwobanas.controls::DataGrid/findPrevious()
at SearchBox/__previousButton_click()

Would be nice if it would walk through the list even if there’s nothing in the search box

Best regards,
Michał
