Question

I have a flex application in which I have a TabNavigator with multiple tabs and a datagrid in each of those tabs. I have bound s single array of data to each grid.

What I want to do is to bind each grid with a particular set of data in that array i.e. to distribute array contents among grids based on data type. For example items starting with letter A could be displayed in first grid, B in second, starting with C in third and so on. Hence you can say alphabetically distribute the data on different grids. The problem is that the data will be added randomly by the user.

To make one data array for each grid is not an option (due to design restrictions).

Any suggestions please?

Thanks in advance

You’re probably looking for filters, this article will help you get the idea behind filters.

Basically, the way I understand it, there is a function that will be passed each item and it will do test the conditions for that item and return true if it passes (you want it to be included) or false if it doesn’t.

You’ll need to create different filter functions for the different grids.

I hope this helps, if you need more help just let me know.
