Datagrid Extensions enhances the Macromedia Datagrid component.

Features

• Selectively change the background color of any cell.


• Multi-line editing, with Word Wrapping. This is probably the most sought-after feature of the Flash datagrid, and which is sorely missing from Macromedia's Datagrid distribution.


• Merge headers, change the background color of any given header, and apply HTML formatting to the cell header text, like italic and bold.


• Format all data in a given column. For example, apply $ and ".00" formatting to price values in a column. When clicked, the "true" value of the cell is displayed. Nearly any format mask can be used.


• Add powerful stylesheet support via external CSS files. This allows even more flexibility to the cell formatting than can be used with the limited HTML support that comes built-in to the datagrid.


• The DataGrid Extensions download comes with Flash 6 AND Flash 7 versions. Some features, like CSS support, are only available in the Flash 7 version.


• Add powerful event handling to any cell. For example, when clicked, the cell data can be passed to an Actionscript function of your choice.


• An advanced API is included for your reference (for Flash 7 extensions). The Flash 6 version comes with a text file that lists all available functions.


• Add horizontal scrolling to your datagrid.


• Convenient MXP installer is provided (for Flash 7 version only), as well as .fla examples.


• 100% of the Flash source code is included (Actionscript source files). Thus, if you need to do something which isn't built-in to the datagrid extensions, you may be able to add it yourself, provided that you have a strong knowledge of Actionscript.


• Add HTML to any cell by setting the "htmlDrawing" property.
