RE: “Is there a way to remove that black vertical grid line. Tried a number of ways, sounds impossible.”

Create a class as below:

package
{
    import mx.skins.halo.DataGridHeaderSeparator;

    public class DataGridHeaderSeparator extends mx.skins.halo.DataGridHeaderSeparator
    {
        override public function get measuredWidth():Number
        {
            return 0;
        }

        override public function setActualSize(newWidth:Number, newHeight:Number):void
        {
            graphics.clear();
        }
    }
}

Then in your DataGrid params use:

verticalLockedSeparatorSkin="DataGridHeaderSeparator"

That should do the trick :)

Cheers,

Simon

Is there a way to make column C on the example swf file not to resize and occupy the whole unfreeze section?

bing/Nikola,

I’m not sure if it works in Flex 2 (I believe it was added in Flex 3), but check out “Changing the appearance of the locked column separator skin for a DataGrid control in Flex 3″.

George Smith,

I don’t know of an easy way to accomplish that without probably subclassing the DataGrid control and writing in the logic. You could try asking on Flexcoders and somebody there may have a better idea.

If you think this is a worth enhancement request, you can file a bug/ecr at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/ against the Flex SDK and select “Component: DataGrid”.

I see how the column is locked. Is there a way to not have the scrollbar under the first column so the scrollbar component does not span the whole datagrid but just the columns that can scroll? This would be better for the user.

Thanks
