> It uses borderColor
I wish it were (and it should be) that simple. Unfortunately,
borderColor only affects the outer 4 sides of the DataGrid.
After a significant amount of digging, I think this is something that
was meant to be implemented but never was. I found the following line
in the setActualSize method of DataGridHeaderSeparator:
g.lineStyle(1, 0x919999); // should be variable set to match
datagrid's border color.
So I think that was meant to be parameterized but got overlooked. I
have created my own headerSeparatorSkin to override this, but as far
as I can tell, I have to hard-code the new color because I don't have
access to getStyle("borderColor"). (Any help on this would be
appreciated as well.)
The same color (0x919999) is hard-coded as the bottom border of the
DataGrid header as well. From DataGrid.drawHeaderBackground():
g.lineStyle(0, 0x919999, 100);
g.lineTo(0, hh - 0.5);
I have created a DataGrid subclass and overridden this method (taking
advantage of getStyle("borderColor")), but am not sure how reliable
the code is because I am not able to calculate the same width
measurements as DataGrid, because it uses some private properties to
do so.
I welcome further insight into this matter, but its unfortunate that
it seems like a small oversight means that we are now required to
create a subclass of the entire DataGrid, just to accomplish some
basic styling. Seems like a small change... maybe you can firecall it
into 2.0.1? :)
Thanks,
Ben
