RE: [flexcoders] Centering a checbox in a datagrid column

[Shannon Hicks]

Jack, check out this thread:   http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders@yahoogroups.com/msg34180.html   It's pretty much along the same lines as what you want, but with the extra code to handle 1 or 0 instead of selected. You can probably modify that to accept the words "true" and "false" instead.   Shan   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jack OMelia Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 1:47 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Centering a checbox in a datagrid column Hi All, I'm new to Flex and having a blast learning it but every now and then I run into small things that make me scratch my head. I have a column in a datagrid that uses an itemRenderer to fill the cells with checkboxes. The checkboxes are flush left against the wall of the cell. In searching your threads, it seems most of you position the checkbox by wrapping the checkbox in another component, usuaully an HBox or VBox, in the itemRenderer. That worked for me except that I lose the selected property for each row. The datagrid is populated with data from an XML file, and the first attribute for each node is either true or false, which then sets the checkbox as checked or not. Once I add aVBox or HBox to my itemRenderer, I lose this and none of the checkboxes are checked. It would seem a custom script is needed to ensure the checkboxes are checked. All I want to do is center my checkboxes. There must be a simple way of doing this without writing another 50 to 100 lines of code. Am I missing something?
