Flex “Smart” Datagrid

May 13th, 2010 by flexcomp

Data visualization in Flex is extremely powerful primarily due to some very strong components in this space like the Data Grid, Advanced Data Grid and the many Charts and Graphs that Flex offers. All of these components are extremely dynamic and user interactive.

At times, there still exists a need to extend these components to do more. Take for example, the fairly consistent need to provide users the ability to show or hide columns in a data grid. This need for personalization is fairly consistent across many implementations. Another common need in a Data Grid or Advanced Data Grid is the need to search for a string in the rather huge data content of a datagrid as it is fairly difficult to visually eyeball specific text by scrolling the Data Grid contents.

The Smart Data Grid is a Flex component that extends the basic Flex Data Grid by adding capability to show or hide columns. It also provides a search box that can be used to search the contents of the data grid. Try this component out by clicking here.
