[SOLVED] FLEX - help with combo box and chart
Hello,

I am trying to come up with a dahsboard similar to this: : http://demoswf.ibi.com/approot...demo/flexcharts.html. I started by creating a grid and populating it with an embedded xml file. I used the CAR file just for simplicity. So, in my combo box I have COUNTRY, CAR, MODEL, BODYTYPE. And then I created a chart, but I want to change the dataProvider for the chart when the selection for the combo changes. For example, show CAR and Sum.DEALER_COST, COUNTRY and Sum.DEALER_COST, depending on the item selected in the combo box.

I can’t figure out how to make the chart refresh after the selection changes… Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Luminita

First of all, you don't need to change the dataProvider. (Actually that isn't even possible - one chart has one dataProvider.

Second, that specific demo is a little misleading. There is a LOT of regular Flex Action script in it (as opposed to the WebFOCUS Flex stuff that gets added using the WF components). I would suggest you get the FlexCharts.mxml file that the demo uses in order to see how they are doing this. I can send you a copy of it if you need. Send an email to the address on my profile.


Regards,

Darin

If you are using the ibi components then Darin is correct. If you are using the the FLEX Enable API and FLEX components then what you are asking for can be accomplished. For more info on the API look in the WebFOCUS FLEX Enable Manual.
