I made a few adjustments to support using the IItemRendererProvider
interface on Menu with UIComponent based renderers.
Then I was able to use a mxml defined mx:HBox based renderer, and have
successfully used it (with some layout tweaks) with some legacy content.
With the approach so far, I still had to add this in part of the Renderer's
script block:
import org.apache.royale.html.beads.controllers.ItemRendererMouseController;
import org.apache.royale.core.IBeadController;
override public function addedToParent():void{
super.addedToParent();
if (getBeadByType(IBeadController) == null) {
addBead(new ItemRendererMouseController());
}
}
I think I could have done this (the part that checks and adds the
mousecontroller bead) instead
in mx.controls.beads.ListItemRendererInitializer, in
'initializeIndexedItemRenderer' [1] but held off for now. Let me know what
you think about doing it there.
