Just want to explain here how I solved this. I set the groupItemRenderer of
the ADG to render a customItemRenderer that I created. I had to implement
the expand/collapse functionality that the AdvancedDataGridGroupItemRenderer
takes care of by default. Rather than extend this class, the custom
component implements mx.controls.listClasses.IDropInListItemRenderer which
will then expose the getter/setters of the listData. The listData will
provide a reference to the ADG which then can dispatch the ITEM_OPENING
events. This custom component must also use the mx_internal namespace to be
able to dispatch the event.
Code:
public function set listData( value : BaseListData ) : void
{
_listData = AdvancedDataGridListData(value);
_listOwner = AdvancedDataGrid(_listData.owner);
}
public function get listData():BaseListData
{
return _listData;
}
private function expand(event:Event) : void
{
event.stopPropagation();
var open:Boolean = _listData.open;
_listData.open = !open;
var evt:AdvancedDataGridEvent = new
AdvancedDataGridEvent(AdvancedDataGridEvent.ITEM_OPENING,true, false,
_listData.columnIndex, null, _listData.rowIndex);
_listOwner.dispatchEvent(evt);
_listOwner.dispatchAdvancedDataGridEvent(AdvancedDataGridEvent.ITEM_OPENING,
_listData.item, this, event, !open, true, true)
}
