Performance | Advanced DataGrid rendering

20 June, 2008

In one of my projects there were some custom needs where we wanted to display values in cell based on the data passed. This led us to write custom ItemRenderer’s. Considering that we were creating multiple instances of Containers like Canvas, Box with-in led me to thinking how would Advanced Data Grid, respond to this custom code. Upon certain tests for 100 to 10000 rows i came up with good looking results. Find them in the document.


Link Button – handles keyboard more gracefully

23 May, 2008

The default LinkButton that Flex provides does not have the following capabilities turned on:

1. Showing a Hand cursor when you hover on the LinkButton

2. Handling the Mouse Enter keys to fire a click event

I had a need where I needed these two capabilities all across the board and hence decided to make this as a component that I can use easily. I am uploading the source code as a PDF until I get to host a website where I would be able to upload source code.
