Well I think that I got this working...sort of...thought that I would pass my solution on for others that might use it.
Basically I retrieve a public variable dictionary from the parentApplication which contains the properties that I need. The public dictionary uses the datafield for the column as key. Example: Creating the properties in the main application... dgCol.headerRenderer = new ClassFactory(HeaderDefinition); headerDefinitionProperties.Message[dgCol.dataField] = "Hello" + dgCol.dataField; Accessing the propertiy from the headerrenderer... message = this.parentApplication.headerDefinitionProperties.Message [data.dataField]; I created a class HeaderDefinitionProperties to hopefully keep the properties a little more standardized.... So what do you think. I do not exactly like accessing a public property via the parentApplication but I do not see any other way to do this....Anyone have any other ideas?? Thanks in advance for the thoughts.... -Torey --- In [email protected], "Torey Maerz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > How could I pass a value into a headerrenderer so that I can use that > value to perform a specific action in the renderer? > > For example here is my renderer: > > <mx:HBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";> > <mx:Label text="Hello"/> > <mx:Image height="20" source="info.gif" click="Alert.show ('Hello > World!', 'Message')"/> > <mx:Script> > <![CDATA[ > import mx.controls.Alert; > ]]> > </mx:Script> > </mx:HBox> > > I would like to display something other than hello world for the > alert or even pass multiple variables in to determine how the > renderer will be created.
