Thanks. I was able to do as you suggest the function is like
private function selectColumnAt(columnIndex:int):void
{
if (columnIndex > 0)
{
if (_selectedColumnIndex != columnIndex)
{
deselectColumns();
var selectedColumn:DataGridColumn =this.columns[columnIndex];
selectedColumn.setStyle("backgroundColor", "0x7FCEFF");
selectedColumn.setStyle("headerStyleName",
"selectedDataGridHeaderStyle");
_selectedColumnIndex = columnIndex;
}
}
}
The only problem is that I can't change the background color of the column
header.
I have a style defined as
.selectedDataGridHeaderStyle {
fontWeight: "bold";
backgroundColor: "red";
background-color: "blue";
}
The header text changes to bold but the background color doesn't change. Any
ideas?
