DataGrid cell value

[cfilipepl]

Does anyone know how to get a cell value in the DataGrid component?

mygrid.getItemAt(rowIndex)[columnIndex] it's not working despite the fact I have configured its storage type to be an array...

Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks in advance.

if you want to change the data in the dataprovider, its as follows :

myDataGrid_dg.dataProvider.editField (_indexNumber_, "_columnName_", _newData_);

ie. myDataGrid_dg.dataProvider.editField(0, "quantity", 34);

or.. if you are trying to retrieve data from a certain cell :

myDataGrid_dg.dataProvider.getEditingData(_indexNu mber_. "_columnName_");

Hope this is what you were looking for.

I tried your suggestion...
Both mygrid.getItemAt(rowIndex)[columnIndex] and
myDataGrid_dg.dataProvider.getEditingData(_indexNu mber_. "_columnName_").
They are not working for me...

Could you please help?

Thanks in advance

Perhaps this example will help. I wanted to launch a PDF when the user pressed a particular grid cell. This is what I used:

//-------------------------
var myCellPressListener = new Object();
myCellPressListener.cellPress = function(event) {
var cell = "(" + event.columnIndex + ", " + event.itemIndex + ")";

trace("The cell at " + cell + " has been clicked");

pdfFilePath = "./" + _root["myDocumentURL" + event.itemIndex];

if (event.columnIndex == 4) {
getURL(pdfFilePath);
}

};
myDataGrid.addEventListener("cellPress", myCellPressListener);

//-----------------

So, basically, I could tell which row was pressed, but I had to determine which column was pressed immediately afterward.
