I am building a flex dashboard that uses 5 different data grids to supply data to 5 corresponding panels. The 5 data grids use data from 5 different data files.

The starting point is a list box in which the user selects a value from a COMPANY_NAME field. The COMPANY_NAME field corresponds to an ID field in only one of the data files which is used by on of the data grids.

The ID field is common to all 5 data files and data grids.

The data grid that contains the COMPANY_NAME field is filtered by that list box.

How can I pass the value of the ID field that corresponds to the selected value of the COMPANY_NAME field as a means of filtering the other 4 data grids? I've read the user's guide several times and would appreciate some guidance.

Thank you.

A control that acts as a filter is specific to a data grid as determined by its parent. That means that each datagrid would have to have its own control. However, that control doesn't have to be visible. You could possibly create an event for the list box that when a value is selected, it automatically sets the value for the other hidden controls to the selected value and then refresh each grid, automatically applying the filter value that was selected. Just an idea - there are probably several ways to get what you want.

Darin
