this *should* be easy. In HTML it'd just be a colspan....anyhoo... I've got a datagrid headerRenderer that should have the layout
...... Email Notifications ..... ... Initial ...... | ..... Reminder Notifications . | ......... Date (the cells underneath will be custom itemRenderers I'm esentially having 2 columns with a common parent header) I just can't get the text to wrap. there's "truncate to fit" but no wrap. any ideas? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="150"> <mx:Label text="Email Notifications" textAlign="center"/> <mx:HBox height="35" > <mx:Label text="Initial Notifications" textAlign="center" /> <mx:Label text="Reminder Date" textAlign="center"/> </mx:HBox> </mx:VBox> thanx barry.b ========================================== ALSO: I'm lost as to why I need to do this: I can define custom components with a namespace (OK so far) <mx:Application ... xmlns:my="custom_controls.*" > <my:ComboBox dataProvider="{colRole}" y="100"></my:ComboBox> but I can't use that namespace for a datagrid headerRenderer control. - this works: <mx:DataGridColumn headerRenderer="custom_controls.NewLabel" /> - this doesn't <mx:DataGridColumn headerRenderer="my.NewLabel" /> can I ask why I can't use a namespace for all my custom stuff? thanx b -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
