Hi all,

I have a fairly simple itemRenderer that is working properly. I have some
basic logic to change the color of the text based on the data in the cell.

I've run into a bit of a stumper by trying to get access to the cell that
contains the itemRenderer, to set the backgroundColor.

Is there a way to get access to the object that contains the current object?

In this bit here ( from my itemRenderer ) 

if (data["msgdelta"] > data["threshold"]) {
         setStyle("color","red");
         setStyle("fontWeight","bold");
} else {
          setStyle("color","black");
          setStyle("fontWeight","normal");
}

I want to be able to do something like 

parent.setStyle("backgroundColor", "red");

To be able to change the background of the cell that this text sits in.

Is this possible?

I know you can mask over it ... as in

derer

But that seems clunky.

Many thanks for any comments,

Paul
