ACCESSING components inside a window!

[Aldo Herrera]

Hi all:

I opened a window using the next code:


searchced_listener = new Object();
searchced_listener.handleEvent = function(evt) {
   SearchWindow = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp(_root, mx.containers.Window, true, {title:"Busqueda de Estudiantes", contentPath:"mc_buscarced", closeButton:true});
   SearchWindow.setSize(500, 500);
   SearchWindow.addEventListener("click", winevtobj);
   SearchWindow.content.M12CAR.text = "[Escriba su busqueda aqui]"
};
searchced_btn.addEventListener("click", searchced_listener);



I would like that when i open the window, a textinput called M12CAR have the text of "[Escriba su busqueda aqui]"

Also?? how do i refer to the cell that i select in a datagrid called M12ARC inside the window??

Since you can acces a window using paths, is allways more simple to just build some MC, give a linkage name in the library and use as the content path of your window. Then you can script inside this MC all what you need instead of deal with longs path from outside.

Yes, that's true:


But how do i pass for example a value that i select in a datagrid to the place where i call my window.

For example in a Search window? I have the datagrid with all the posible values to choose from. And i need to select one, and pass that value to a textimput in the place where i call the window!?

Usually you have a reference to your window, i.e:

myWindow = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp( .....

And then use to pass values. I.e capturing a cell value

[script]
listener = {}
listener.ref = this
listener.cellPress = function(evt){
 this.ref.myWindow.content.searchValue = myGrid.getItemAt(evt.itemIndex).searchValue
}
myGrid.addEventListener("cellPress", listener)
[/script]

Replace searchValue with the name of your column.

Jorge,

Thanks for your reply on my thread about the column size.

I need help with my window component, I have the window component popup, I can assign selections to the comboboxes when I select a value from the comboboxes the value do not display, and I can not get the datagrid to display.

I have a sample of this if you would like to see it, how do I get it to you?

Thanks
