Hi, Really like these components. They have the real wow factor. Has anyone had any joy showing html in the text area yet?
I’d appreciate a point in the right direction – thanks.

Also, not sure why but I had to change int to object in the following in the datefield comp.
[Bindable("firstDayOfWeekChanged")]
public function get firstDayOfWeek():Object { return df.firstDayOfWeek; }
public function set firstDayOfWeek(value:Object):void { df.firstDayOfWeek = value; }

Great stuff. It would be great if your reference to “MIT Open Source License” above was actually a link to the license. It would also be great if a copy of the license was included in the download. Makes it much easier to approve for us corporate types. Thanks!

At first glance it seems that though you define the Bindable events for the getters, you don't dispatch those events in the setters. I thought that was necessary. Can you advise me on this, thank you.

Basically i have a customized combobox but i can't assign an EventHandler "on_change" to the "onEdit" control.

What i want to do is :

1) If an item in the combobox is selected then hide the comboBox a 2) display the Selected Item on the Label. (it's done)

So.. i would be really gratefull if someone could give me a hand on this.

Kind Regards Ricard

Hmm… Actually the easiest way is to make “get textInput():TextInput” function to be public.

Very cool components. However, I found a problem. If I have mx:Model object in my project, any change made by users in IPETextInput box will not be automatically updated into mx:Model object’s properties. This is because IPETextInput is simply a wrapper of mx:Label and mx:TextInput. I wonder if there is any way to resolve this? Otherwise, we have to listen the “change” event and update the mx:Model object by hand.

Another question for you guys in general: How do you structure Ely’s code in a Flex Builder Project? I am having fits with references not resolvng.

Hi, Ely!
Why do you reverse the “mx” and “local” namespaces?

I’ll get over it, but that creates some cognitive dissonance.

Hi Ely, Constantly watching your site and always amazed by the components you create. I was hoping to use the IPE controls for a data entry screen I'm designing, but was wondering how can you take multiple values from different input controls (such as a numeric stepper, combo box and text input) and display them as a single label.

For example, if you wanted to specify a date of birth using the input controls identified above, and display the final results as: 1 August 1960
