Depending on your data, you may need to call itemUpdated so renderers find out there's been a change to their data.

I'm seeing a problem with a combobox in a datagrid that I simply have not been able to solve. The setup: Consider a datagrid where one of the columns has a combobox itemrenderer/editor in each row with choices A,B,C,or D. Outside of the datagrid is a Save button, along with another combobox exactly like the others, but choosing an option here forces all other comboboxes inside the datagrid to change to it. So selecting B in the outside combo makes all combos in the datagrid go to B. As far as the code structure goes, the itemrenderer is drop-in, and the root component is an hbox, with the combobox inside it. This is to that I could align it to the right of the cell. The structure is like this: <DataGridColumn> <itemrenderer> <hbox> <combobox> To get the grid combos to change, I bound their selectedIndex to the selectedIndex of the outerDocument.combo Everything works fine if choosing an option within the grid. But when using the outside combobox to change the others, the grid combo boxes are NOT updating their dataprovider. But, oddly, I have observed that if I change the outer combo setting, then click anywhere in the grid FIRST, and then click my Save button, it works. I thought that perhaps I needed to dispatch a CHANGE or CLICK event, so I altered the combo bindings to create a bindsetter instead that does the same thing plus dispatch an event. I have tried dispatching a variety of events and nothing works. How do I get the grid combos to update the datagrid dataprovider when using the outside combo???
