How i set width in percentages of columns of MX datagrid in flex?

Question

I want to know how i set width in percentages of columns of MX datagrid in flex ?

Answer 1

Alternatively to Jason Sturges' answer, you can actually just put in decimals and the datagrid figures it out.

<mx:DataGridColumn width="0.4" /> would be 40%.

You can NOT mix and match with fixed widths. All columns must add up to 1.

Example:

<mx:DataGridColumn width="0.4" />
<mx:DataGridColumn width="0.6" />

This adds up to 100%.

Answer 2

You could calculate percent based upon width in the property attribute:

40%

<mx:DataGridColumn width="{0.4 * width}" />

60%

<mx:DataGridColumn width="{0.6 * width}" />
