thanks for moving the bug at bugs.adobe.com! It was my first report, so i’m not so familar with the adobe-interface.

Putting all the good staff together, i have build up a smal ‘Customised ButtonBar Example’. Using a extended version of the ButtonBar component and custom events the user are able to enable/disable ButtonBar ‘childs’. You can find the application and the source code here:

Ok, that’s it.

Not that I know of (but that isn’t saying much — you’d have better luck asking on FlexCoders). There may be a way to extend the ButtonBar class and add this functionality in somewhere.

You could do this if you were using a ViewStack as a data provider though:

<mx:ButtonBar id="buttonBar2" dataProvider="{viewStack}" />
<mx:ViewStack id="viewStack">
    <mx:VBox label="One" />
    <mx:VBox label="Two" enabled="false" />
    <mx:VBox label="Three" enabled="false" />
    <mx:VBox label="Four" />
</mx:ViewStack>

Feel free to file a bug/enhancement request in the public Flex bug base though (http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/). Heck, if you post the bug number here, I’ll vote for the bug. :)

the example works great. Is there a way to enable/disable items within the building phase of the component? I tried this but without any results …

var buttonBarItemsArr:Array = [

   {label:'item1', enabled:false},
   {label:'item2', enabled:true}
];

myButtonBar.dataProvider = buttonBarItemsArr;

Thanks Hagen

You can find the tag archive at http://blog.flexexamples.com/tags/. I removed it from the right column since it was taking up way too much space and throwing the rest of the formatting off.

I really found this website as a valuable resource but I think since you add the search functionality it is hard to find what you are looking for. I liked it much more in its previous version where you listed all the control and you could pick the example that illustrate this particular control. Right now when I am searching for combobox for example I am getting a lot of non-relevant examples.

I appreciate your effort
