I'm not sure I understand the setup. It is rare for a renderer to set its parent's rowCount.

I'm implementing a master/detail view in a datagrid column by means of a custom component that extends List and uses a programmatic listitemrenderer that renders as many rows in the list as the detail for that column requires. It works well ... up to a point. Seems that the first row's list depth locks in the depth for all succeeding rows. I remember reading something in Alex's notes on itemRenderers that suggests they are reused extensively. Therefore I've taken care to set rowCount carefully each time rendering takes place. However while the debugger shows the itemRenderer setting its parent's rowCount correctly, the setting has no effect on the visual display, still locked at the first row's detail depth. Anybody have any thoughts as to why this might be happening, and how the rowCount of a list in a column can be varied on a per column or per row basis? Also interested in other approaches; tempted by advancedDataGrid, but seems very difficult to get working at all (due to some of the classloading order bugs) and has a pretty scary list of internal issues. Ideas? R.
