FlexBuilder 3 Controls
Dec 17 2008Controls included with FlexBuilder 3 out of the box below… check out some third party components here .
Notes will be updated as I actually get a chance to put some of these to use.
| FlexBuilder 3 Controls | |
|---|---|
| Control Name | Notes |
| AdvancedDataGrid | Professional version only + multi column sorting + grouping + tree view + printing support – Still no paging support out of the box |
| AlertControl | not sure how this gets grouped with these other controls as it is not an explicit control but a static method “show()” which can be used from where ever. |
| Button | check out the FlexLib CanvasButton for a more flexible option |
| CheckBox | |
| ColorPicker | |
| ComboBox | |
| DataGrid | See this article for some hints on implementing paging |

| OLAPDataGrid | Professional version only |
| PopUpButton | |
| PopUpMenuButton | |
