Question : custom Flex DataGrid Filter

Hi Experts,

I need to apply filter on custom Flex DataGrid using checkbox control which uses array collection filter Function. I have applied the logic on default DataGrid and it is working fine.
custom DataGrid has additional features in filtering. I need to add more options because I have requirements to use checkbox control with counter.

I have exported the project for you to look on to the source code and you will notice that only second DataGrid (Default) filtered based on the check box. I need to apply the same on the first DataGrid (Custom) Your quick response is highly appreciated.

The project source code can be loaded from this link

Answer : custom Flex DataGrid Filter

By default MDatagrid doesnot allow you to modify the dataprovider.

"By default MDataGrid is using a local copy of data provider and doesn’t support removing/modifying items.
You can try setting copyDataProvider=false so that data provider will not be copied but I can’t guarantee that this will support deleting items."

So I changed your code of MDatagrid with copyDataProvider=false. Its working for me. But drawback will be that component won't have copy of database and filters added will be directly affecting the dataprovider.
