Hi Rohit, There are two reasons why you should not access the combo box with a reference like that:
1. When you place an element inside the itemRenderer, you will not know how many instances will be created. It would depend on the number of rows in the data provider. So it could be anything from 0 to infinity. So how will you decide on the row from which the combo box needs to be accessed. 2. Even if you know the number of rows that will be there in the datagrid, if you access the combobox from outside, you are defeating the concept of itemRenderer. Basically an itemRenderer renders only those elements that are required. If you try to access something that is present in the screen but not visible, then you may get a null data exception. In short, you should not access the elements of your itemRenderer from outside. There are crooked ways of doing this, but I wont recommend those ways. Can you tell us why u want the combo box's reference? If you could explain the complete functionality required, we may be able to help you with a better approach.
