Just found I can stop it dead with an enabled="false" on the cb itself:
<mx:CheckBox
selected="{data.rmvDir == 'true'}" paddingLeft="10" enabled="false"
but I cannot get to the checkbox with actionscript because Flex will not
let me give the checkbox an id to reference it with ...
<mx:CheckBox id="cbRmv" = id attribute is not allowed on the root tag of
a component ...
if the solution is me having to individually disable the 11 checkbox
columns on the 3 grids, how can I reference them? I suppose I could bind
i.e. enabled = "{mode=='VIEW'}" but curious on the AS reference,
TIA,
Mic.
