RE: [flexcoders] Datagrid Password Column?
A TextInput just contains a TextField and draws border and background around it. DGIR extends TextField. If you're ok with popup editors, I'd extends both DGIR as the renderer and TextInput as the editor. If you really need TextInput as the renderer, try setting backgroundColor=.

Re: [flexcoders] Datagrid Password Column?
Did you try the 'itemEditor' property, instead of 'itemRenderer'? If memory serves, the row will toggle between your textinput and the default text renderer, when you use the editor setup. -Scott On Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 6:27 PM, Dennis Falling [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have an editable DataGrid that displays usernames and masked passwords ().

Re: [flexcoders] Datagrid Password Column?
With backgroundAlpha=1, the box always has the white background, whether it's selected or not: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/15760/alpha1.PNG With backgroundAlpha=0, the box never has a white background, even when it is selected: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/15760/alpha0.PNG Both of these ways are inconsistent with the typical appearance of a DataGridColumn. That's all I'm going for- for it to look white when it should (when it's in edit mode) and not white when it shouldn't (when it's not being edited.) I was completely overlooking the fact that you can have a renderer and an editor. I got it looking right by doing this: mx:DataGridColumn dataField=username headerText=Username/ mx:DataGridColumn dataField=password headerText=Password editorDataField=text mx:itemEditor mx:Component mx:TextInput displayAsPassword=true borderStyle=none backgroundAlpha=1/ /mx:Component /mx:itemEditor mx:itemRenderer mx:Component mx:TextInput displayAsPassword=true borderStyle=none backgroundAlpha=0/ /mx:Component /mx:itemRenderer /mx:DataGridColumn The look I was going for: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/15760/correct.PNG Thanks for the help!
