Poll for current and new features in AdvancedDataGrid

I created three polls at the end of my blog. One to know how users are feelling about ADG in its current form, second what features of ADG in Flex 3 users are liking the most and third one to see what new features users would like to see in the next version of AdvancedDataGrid to make it more useful.

Who knows you may be able to guide the future developement of ADG !

Thanks in advance for giving your opinion!

If you want to see more choices do leave a comment. I would add it.

Async refresh of GroupingCollection

In Flex 3 Beta-2, GroupingCollection adds support for asychronous refresh. When we have large number of input rows or don't want to wait for the grouping to finish to see the results we can pass true to GroupingCollection.refresh(async:Boolean) and get to view the results as the grouped data is built. Users are allowed to interact with the shown information. Refresh can be even stopped by calling cancelRefresh.

I wrote a small app to test this. The app generates random data and displays it in AdvancedDataGrid(ADG) when "Populate ADG" is clicked. The number of data rows can be modified using the numeric stepper. A click on "Group" starts async refresh and ADG starts displaying the results immediately. Grouping can be cancelled any time using "Cancel Grouping". The three check boxes allow different combinations of grouping to be performed.

Option to pause/resume a refresh is not available.
