Maybe it’d just be easier to use a
simple cell renderer of a VBox with a label inside and in your setValue method
just adjust your properties as appropriate? You’re right that
labelFunction doesn’t really provide you a mechanism for getting the
index that you’re working with.
Hi Matt (Both), Thanks for responding.
Matt C .. yes it is in the documentation under
DataGridColumn syntax:
labelFunction
Function
Property
Specifies a function that determines the string to
display in the
DataGrid control. The callback function takes a
single argument
containing the data for the entire row, and
returns a String. The
signature of the callback function is:
myLabelFunc(item:Object):String
Matt H .. I agree I could use setPropertiesAt if i
had a handle on the
item objects index but I don't that is the
problem.
alternatively i have tried to use setStyle which I
can't use for the
same reason .. if i reference
item.columnName.setStyle it does not
work as the item.columnName is translated to the
actual string value
of the item object and not the
"columnReference".
I am tearing my hair out over this one! if there
was an formatter
equivilent <mx:StringFormatter class that took
color and or
backgroundColor as arguments my life would be
happier!
Can you think of anything else I could try?
Thanks in Advance ..
