Re: [flexcoders] Changing the background color of row in datagrid

[Douglas Knudsen]

we did this recently.  Didn't like the setProperties() approach
for our situation.  We had a colour attribute in our
dataprovider.  So we ended up with something like this for a
custom cell renderer.  We have not polished it fully yet, but the
idea is there.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" height="49" width="100%" > 
    
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        function setValue( str:String, item:Object, sel:Boolean ) {
            
            this.d.text = item.activity;
            this.setStyle("backgroundColor", item.color);
        }
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
<!--     
    <mx:Text x="{ (this.width - d.width)/2 }"
            y="{ (this.height)/2 }"
            id="d" 
            height="100%"
            width="100" 
            fontSize="12" 
            fontWeight="bold" 
            selectable="false"/>
            -->

    <mx:Text id="d" 
            height="100%"
            width="100"
            marginTop="5"
            marginBottom="5" 
            fontSize="12" 
            fontWeight="bold" 
            selectable="false"/>

Darron,
 
I did use setPropertiesAt function as you have suggested. But my problem 
is that 
when I use it the way you have suggested, employee_dg.setPropertiesAt(rowInd, 
{backgroundColor:0xFFF00}); 
the bg 
color of the row does not change instanlty. I have to click somewhere in the 
datagrid for the color change to take place whereas when I hard code the row 
index ie. employee_dg.setPropertiesAt(1, 
{backgroundColor:0xFFF00}); the bg color is changed instantly. I 
need not click on the datagrid for it to do it. Could you tell me 
why?
 
Attached is a sample app to see this peculiar 
behavior..
 
Thanks,
Shweta
