Ok, so the itemEditor = ComboBox with the above Override and here it is as it stands and works (up to a point).
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Reason Stopped" dataField="reason_med_stopped_oidCol" editorDataField="selectedItem"> <mx:itemEditor> <mx:Component> <mx:ComboBox editable="true" labelField="label" > <mx:ArrayCollection> <mx:Object label="Patient Died" data="130"/> <mx:Object label="Maximum dosage" data="131"/> <mx:Object label="Consulting Decision" data="132"/> </mx:ArrayCollection> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.collections.IViewCursor; override public function set data(value:Object):void { super.data = value; var listCursor:IViewCursor = collection.createCursor(); do { if (data.reason_med_stopped_oidCol == listCursor.current.data) { selectedItem = listCursor.current; break; } } while (listCursor.moveNext()); } ]]> </mx:Script> </mx:ComboBox> </mx:Component> </mx:itemEditor> </mx:DataGridColumn> Now this works perfectly now when I click in the Cell the ComboBox opens with the selectedItem and when I select an option and exit the Cell the DataGridEvent.ITEM_EDIT_END fires and I extract the data value to insert into the parameters with parameters[dsFieldName.substr(0,dsFieldName.length-3)] = e.currentTarget.itemEditorInstance.selectedItem.data; and that saves to the database, all great...however, the editorDataField="selectedItem" puts "[object Object]" into the Grid instead of the data element. I tried editorDataField="selectedItem.data" but that fails. I tried "value" and "text" but it saves the Label. So what do I put in the editorDataField to save the 'data' to the Grid instead of the object string or the label? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/itemRenderer-ComboBox-tp21243094p21255448.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
