Example

This example shows three different ways of creating columns for a DataGrid component. With a DataGrid instance named my_dg on the Stage, paste the following code in the first frame of the main timeline (notice that it imports the DataGridColumn class first):

import mx.controls.gridclasses.DataGridColumn;

var my_dg:mx.controls.DataGrid;
my_dg.setSize(320, 240);

// Add columns to grid.
my_dg.addColumn("Red");

// Add another column to grid.
my_dg.addColumn(new DataGridColumn("Green"));

// Add a third column to grid.
var blue_dgc:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("Blue");
blue_dgc.width = 140;
blue_dgc.headerText = "Blue Column:";
my_dg.addColumn(blue_dgc);
