I've been having an issue with a dashboard I'm implementing. There's an ibiList of departments on the side. When a department is selected, the corresponding XML's location is given to an ibiDataGrid through seturl. There are then 3 ibiComboBoxes that are used to filter the data. The content of each combobox is pulled from a different column in the datagrid and the list of selections is different for each department selected. I've got ibiParent set to the datagrid and ibiFilterParent set to the department list. I'm also using mainCanvas.reloadData() on the datagrid when a new XML is selected.

The problem I'm having is that when I switch between departments, sometimes the comboboxes do not load the selections for the newly selected department. They only display the selections available from the previously selected department. The weird thing is that the dropdown does have the right number of rows, but they'll be empty. I know the data is actually there, but it's not displaying!

For example -
Dept 1 has a dropdown with selections A, B, C.
Dept 2 has D for the same dropdown.

If I click on Dept 2, then the dropdown properly shows just D. But, if I then if I click on Dept 1 the dropdown shows: D, blank, blank (should be A, B, C). If I then select D (which should be A), the dropdown will actually then show A, B, C, and filter for A.

Has anyone seen anything like this before, or have any suggestions? I can't find anything on the issue I'm having. Frowner

Agh, I just read the posts about the signatures/versions. I'm pretty new to Adobe Flex, and know practically nothing about WebFocus. All I know is that I'm using an XML file generated from some WebFocus thing, and I need to use these special components to use the XML file.

The user guide I've been using as a reference says this is WebFOCUS Enable for Adobe Flex. I'm coding in Flash Builder 4 but using Flex 3.5 and my OS is Windows XP.

I'm not sure what that means exactly...all I know is that another group uses WebFOCUS to create an XML that has the data I need to use in my dashboard, and that I need to use the special WebFocus Flex components to use that data.

WebFOCUS Emable is IBI's Flex add on that will handle the XML files from WebFOCUS, and also display the reports.

Are you developing the Flex component ?

Unfortunately, I have not worked with WebFOCUS Enable, so cannot help on that front, perhaps someone else in the forum has some experience.

I would suggest checking out the documentaiton of WbeFOCUS Enable, perhaps there is something in there.

Or put a case in with IBI if you can't solve the problem.

I was afraid it would come down to this as there doesn't seem to be much on these forums about the flex components. Thanks anyway! Smiler

Apart from the IBI flex components, you may be able to check out some Flex forums.
