I found a way to make it generic. all i did was implement
IDropInListItemRenderer (code below).
so now u can have
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="any" itemRenderer="myCheckBox"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="name" itemRenderer="myCheckBox"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="you" itemRenderer="myCheckBox"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="like" itemRenderer="myCheckBox"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="focusIn" itemRenderer="myCheckBox"/>
you can replace the following code
if(data.focusIn)
checkbox1.selected = data.focusIn;
if(data.any)
checkbox1.selected = data.any;
etc
instead u can do
var myListData:DataGridListData = DataGridListData(listData);
var myDataField:String = myListData.dataField;
checkbox1.selected = data[myDataField];
MyCheckBox
----------
<mx:HBox implements="mx.controls.listClasses.IDropInListItemRenderer"
preinitialize ="initTA();" horizontalAlign="center">
<mx:Script>
// Internal variable for the property value.
private var _listData:BaseListData;
// Make the listData property bindable.
[Bindable("dataChange")]
// Define the getter method.
public function get listData():BaseListData
{
return _listData;
}
// Define the setter method,
public function set listData(value:BaseListData):void
{
_listData = value;
}
public function initTA():void
{
this.addEventListener("dataChange", handleDataChanged);
}
public function handleDataChanged(event:Event):void
{
// Cast listData to DataGridListData.
var myListData:DataGridListData = DataGridListData(listData);
var myDataField:String = myListData.dataField;
checkbox1.selected = data[myDataField];
}
</mx:Script>
<mx:CheckBox id="checkBox1" />
</mx:HBox>
