Comments on: Using a custom context menu with the Flex DataGrid control http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/08/20/using-a-custom-context-menu-with-the-flex-datagrid-control/ Just a bunch of Adobe Flex Examples Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:26:49 +0000 hourly 1 By: svella http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/08/20/using-a-custom-context-menu-with-the-flex-datagrid-control/comment-page-2/#comment-10338 svella Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:20:11 +0000 http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/08/20/using-a-custom-context-menu-with-the-flex-datagrid-control/#comment-10338 I know this post is pretty ancient so I don't have high hopes of actually getting an answer, but though I'd ask anyway. The example tracks which grid row the mouse is over in order to select that row when the context menu comes up. It appears the selection is working because the data displayed in the popup is for the row where the right click occurred, but ... the highlighting of the selected item doesn't happen until after the context menu is dismissed. I do the same thing in my app and have the same problem, but I could have sworn that it used to work, since it is really bad to select an action on the context menu that acts on a selection that has changed with no visible indication. I've even tried everything I can think of to force an update of the display, so wondering if maybe some behavior has changed in newer versions of flash player.

Perhaps this is due to the simple DataGrid class I created to encapsulate this behavior. Any thoughts greatly appreciated. <code> </code> In using this trick on an AIR app, I experience a strange behavior where if I 1) right click to show the context menu and then 2) click on some other area of the datagrid to get rid of the context menu, the highlighting for some reason just stops.
