Not only that, trying to update the plug-in through Eclipse using the “Search for Flex Builder updates…” command did nothing.

If you have a more recent version of Eclipse you’ll want to download the plug-in directly from Adobe rather than using the CD. At the time of this post that will get you version 3.0.2, which is compatible with Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) but still not compatible with Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo). If you want to use the plug-in you’ll have to downgrade to 3.4.

Hope this information can help somebody. It would have saved me a few hours of frustration the other day.

Also: Eclipse 3.4 lists WST 3.1.0 as an available update. Don’t do it. It is incompatible with 3.4 and will make it so you can’t even open an editor window. Stick with 3.0.x. Why they tell you to install incompatible updates with all their dependency checking, I’ll never know.

It is implemented by creating two grids: one for the header and one for the body. Each grid is wrapped in a canvas that is scrolled in-sync with the other one.

Try sorting, reordering columns, and resizing columns. They all work.

Right-click the grid to view the source. When I get some free time I’ll turn it into a reusable component that you can apply to any grid. Feel free to use at your own risk :) .

Enjoy,
Alvaro
