Hi There,

I’m using the DataGrid Component in CS3, and I have got the DataGrid working with 3 columns (2 string columns, 1 numerical column), all have sorting enabled.

I would now like to introduce filtering in the columns, similar to how Windows XP allows filtering in their dialogs.

I found the following tutorial on Adobe: [http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/datagrid\_pt3/#section10](http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/datagrid_pt3/#section10) that allows filtering of the Name column but I can’t figure out how to embed the filter dialog on top of the DataGrid component.

Does anyone know how I can embed the filtering dialog on top of the column so that it appears on the drop-down? similar to this:

Thanks a lot for any help or pointers!
