[flexcoders] Extending Datagrid Column

[Allen Manning]

Hello Flex Coders,   I am trying to extend the Datagrid column so that I can set a custom property ‘iconName’ which will refer to an icon that I would like to appear in each row.  Here is how I would like to use it, and below that is my error message – it appears I can’t extend DataGridColumn.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I would like to make the iconName available to my cell renderer without polluting my DataProvider.   Thanks for any help, Allen               <mx:DataGrid width="100%" height="100%" id="dgMessages" dataProvider="{messageList}">                 <mx:columns>                     <mx:Array>                         <components:IconDataGridColumn iconName="s_icon_mail" headerText="" width="30" cellRenderer="IconCellRenderer" sortable="false"/>                     </mx:Array>                 </mx:columns>             </mx:DataGrid>   IconDataGridColumn.as   IconDataGridColumn       extends mx.controls.gridclasses.DataGridColumn {         public var iconName:String;   }     Error - ActionScript 2.0 class scripts may only define class or interface constructs.     -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
