Double click to edit DataGrid/List

After some brief searching on this topic I pulled up an entry from FlexCoders back in August of 2007 where Chris Huyler had figured out and put together a custom DataGrid to listen for a double click event rather than the default single click for itemEditor instances.

I needed both DataGrid and List support using this feature, so using Chris' example for DG, I modified for List as well.

All credit goes to Chris for figuring this out, and my thanks... here's an example of each below:

DataGrid

package com.bm.custom_components

{

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import flash.geom.Point;



import mx.controls.DataGrid;

import mx.controls.listClasses.IListItemRenderer;

import mx.events.DataGridEvent;



public class DoubleClickEditDataGrid extends DataGrid

{

public function DoubleClickEditDataGrid() {

	super();

}



private var triggeredEditable:Boolean = false;



public function triggerItemEditor(event:MouseEvent):void

{

	var r:IListItemRenderer = mouseEventToItemRenderer(event);

	var p:Point = itemRendererToIndices(r);

	if ( columns[p.x].editable != false )

	{

		if (!editable)

		{

			editable=true;

			triggeredEditable = true;

			addEventListener(DataGridEvent.ITEM_EDIT_END,
 triggeredEditorEnd);

		}

		var dEvent:DataGridEvent = new DataGridEvent(DataGridEvent.ITEM_EDIT_BEGINNING, 
false, 
false, 
p.x, 
null, 
p.y, 
null, 
r, 
p.y);

		dispatchEvent(dEvent);

	}

}



private function triggeredEditorEnd(event:DataGridEvent):void

{

	if ( triggeredEditable )

	{

		editable = false;

		triggeredEditable = false;

		removeEventListener( DataGridEvent.ITEM_EDIT_END, triggeredEditorEnd);

	}

}

}

}

List

package com.bm.custom_components

{

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import flash.geom.Point;

	
import mx.controls.List;

import mx.controls.listClasses.IListItemRenderer;

import mx.events.ListEvent;

	
public class DoubleClickEnabledList extends List

{

	public function DoubleClickEnabledList(){}

		

	private var triggeredEditable:Boolean = false;



	public function triggerItemEditor(event:MouseEvent):void

	{

		var r:IListItemRenderer = mouseEventToItemRenderer(event);

		var p:Point = itemRendererToIndices(r);

		if (!editable)

		{

			editable=true;

			triggeredEditable = true;

			addEventListener(ListEvent.ITEM_EDIT_END, triggeredEditorEnd);

		}

		var dEvent:ListEvent = new ListEvent(ListEvent.ITEM_EDIT_BEGINNING,
false,
 false, 
-1, 
p.y, 
null, 
null);
		dispatchEvent(dEvent);

	}

		

	private function triggeredEditorEnd(event:ListEvent):void

	{

		if ( triggeredEditable )

		{

			editable = false;

			triggeredEditable = false;

			removeEventListener( ListEvent.ITEM_EDIT_END, triggeredEditorEnd);

		}

	}

}

}
