[CLOSED]Flex "accordian report" help needed
This is my first time using WebFOCUS Enable for Adobe Flex.

In WebFOCUS, an accordion report expands horizontally to show the detail data of a lower level in a hierarchy (via lower level BY fields).

Can a report in flex to expand like an accordian report, except that it expands vertically as shown below? When a person click on the plus sign the rows below that row move down and the rows in the next level of the hierarchy display for that field whose plus sign was clicked. Then the plus sign becomes a minus sign.

If this is possible, any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Although we don't have WebFOCUS Enable here, I suspect it does not have this sort of functionality by default.

You may have to make your own.

Have a look at the documentation, it may hold clues.

Thanks, Waz. I have the PDF version of the User's guide, and have read it twice. It is more of an introduction to WebFOCUS Enable.

For those using the User's Guide, be aware it has some omissions and typos in the tutorials.

You will probably need to code something that has an event on a click of a record in, I assume, a data grid, and repopulate with the extra data. You could also, instead of expanding, pop up the detail.

You might look at the AdvancedDataGrid documentation from Adobe and use the FLEX Enable API
