I have a Flex datagrid with one field called DSP_WEBSITE that contains a url. It displays correctly but I don't know how to make it an active hyperlink to open in a new window to display the url website. I also have the same issue in the ibiInfoWindowColumns.

Any suggestions?

Here is my code now:

ibi:ibiUseColumnsDSP_NAME AS Provider,COUNTRY AS Country,DSP_WEBSITE AS Website,DSP_RATING AS Rating,LATITUDE,LONGITUDE

To Accomplish what you are asking for must currently be done using Action Script. it is a simple 3 step process.

Step 1.) Add an itemClick event to the ibiDataGrid. you can just copy what I have posted below you you ibiDataGrid.

itemClick="itemClickEvent(event)"

Making your ibiDataGrid look somethigng like this.

<ibi:ibiDataGrid x="10" y="10" width="712" height="169" id="MainDG" itemClick="itemClickEvent(event)" ibiUseColumns="DSP_WEBSITE AS WebSite">

Step 2.) Just copy the below code into your application. If you already have a script section in your application then all you need to copy is the import line and the itemClickEvent function.

<mx:Script>
  <![CDATA[
    import mx.events.ListEvent;

    private function itemClickEvent(event:ListEvent):void 
    {
      if(event.rowIndex >= 0)
        if(event.columnIndex == 0)
          {
            var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(MainDG.prGridfiltered[event.rowIndex].DSP_WEBSITE); 
            navigateToURL(url,"_blank");
          }
      }
  ]]>
</mx:Script>

Step 3.) Just edit the code from step 2 and change the MainDG to the id of your ibiDataGrid.


Give this a try.

Hi -
Thanks for providing this detailed help on drilldown script.

A little variation of this worked for us:

  
<mx:Script>
 <![CDATA[
   import mx.events.ListEvent; 
   import mx.controls.Alert; 
   //import flash.net.navigateToURL;
   
   private function itemClickEvent (event:ListEvent):void 
    { 
     if(event.rowIndex >= 0)
     {
     var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://" + event.currentTarget.selectedItem.DSP_WEBSITE); 
     //var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://" + DATA02.prGridfiltered[event.rowIndex].DSP_WEBSITE);
            navigateToURL(url,'_blank');
          }
      }
  ]]>
</mx:Script>

Would you know why "DATA02.prGridfiltered[event.rowIndex].DSP_WEBSITE" could not work for us..

Thanks much!
