Add Items to CFGrid

[Armtusk]

The scenario is simple. I have a textbox where the user enters some value,
clicks an "Add" button and I want that value to get added to a CFGrid which
might ahve some data from before.

I am aware of the "insertbutton" parameter for the CFGrid and that won't work
for me. I was wondering if there is a way thru ActionScript or somehow, that
one can programmatically add items to a given cfgrid.

Thanks in advance,
Saurabh.

P.S.- Also, can anyone point me to a good resource where one can learn about
using ActionScript in CFMX flash forms and what ActionScript methods anfd
objects aren't available for use in CFMX 7.

Hello Saurabh, I think you should try this: The grid is called Grid_Units and
the textfield's name is BaseValue <cfinput name='Unit_Add' type='button'
value='Add' onclick=' var varBaseValue; // A variable to hold the inserted
text, needed because when you run the third line, the textfield was emptied
varBaseValue = BaseValue.text; //Get the text from a textfield in the
actionscipt variable GridData.insertRow(Grid_Units); //Add a new line to the
grid Grid_Units.dataProvider.editField(Grid_Units.selec tedIndex, 'BaseValue',
varBaseValue); //the dataProvider is used to get the data in the grid'> Hope
it helps for your issue. Daniel btw -- I'm lookon for the same dokus, please
give a link.

Thanks Daniel,

I was able to use your code and the CFMX example to get it to work.

Here's what I did.

<cfform format="flash">
<cfquery name="getArtists" datasource="cfcodeexplorer">
select * from artists
</cfquery>
<cfgrid name="artistGrid" query="getArtists" rowheaders="false">
<cfgridcolumn name="firstName" header="First Name">
</cfgrid>
<cfformgroup type="horizontal" label="Name">
<cfinput type="text" name="firstname" label="First">
</cfformgroup>
<cfinput type="button" name="btnAdd" value="Add Item"
onclick="GridData.insertRow(artistGrid);artistGrid .dataProvider.editField(artist
Grid.selectedIndex, 'FIRSTNAME', firstname.text);">

</cfform>
