I have been working on trying to get something in flex which will display a list of clients and their unavailability start and end dates. I have attempted the line chart and the HLOC chart but have not seen success. I do have the H or V grids working fine. But getting the data to display in a line graph based upon start date and end date has been my challenge. any suggestions
Current Code:
<s:Label x="0" y="5" text="Min Date" height="24" fontFamily="Times New Roman" verticalAlign="middle"/>
<mx:DateField id="minDateField"
x="50" y="5"
formatString="MM-DD-YYYY"
selectedDate="{minDate}"
change="minDatefield_changeHandler(event)"/>
<s:Label x="150" y="5" text="Max Date" height="24" fontFamily="Times New Roman" verticalAlign="middle"/>
<mx:DateField id="maxDateField"
x="200" y="5"
formatString="MM-DD-YYYY"
selectedDate="{maxDate}"
change="maxDatefield_changeHandler(event)"/>
<mx:LineChart id="nonAvailsLC" x="0" y="40"
showDataTips="true"
dataProvider="{getNonAvailsResult.lastResult}"
creationComplete="nonAvailsLC_creationCompleteHandler(event)"
width="890" height="550">
<mx:backgroundElements>
<mx:GridLines gridDirection="both"/>
</mx:backgroundElements>
<mx:horizontalAxis>
<mx:DateTimeAxis dataUnits="days" minimum="{minDate}" maximum="{maxDate}"
labelUnits="days"/>
</mx:horizontalAxis>
<mx:verticalAxis>
<mx:CategoryAxis categoryField="user" labelFunction="getName"/>
</mx:verticalAxis>
<mx:series>
<mx:LineSeries xField="startDate" yField="user"
form="horizontal"/>
</mx:series>
</mx:LineChart>
I guess I still have lots to learn about Flex and Renderers. I downloaded a Gantt chart with Code and they used the AdvancedDataGrid with renderers and such. I modified the code to work for me. but if I had to create it myself right now, I would be in trouble. Lots more to learn.
