Handle the DataGrid's itemRollOver event and look at event.rowIndex. - Gordon
________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Chiverton Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 4:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] dataProivder item under mouse in datagrid Does anyone know how I might go about finding out which item in the dataProvder of a DataGrid is currently under the mouse (as opposed to the selectedItem, which may be different). What I am trying to achieve is the ability to right click a row, choose 'Edit' from the pop up menu (that bit is easy !) and then open a window with the item under the mouse in. So far, it looks like I'd have to loop through DataGrid.listItems checking the renderers x and y locations against the mouse's, and then compare to the mouse co ordinates, and use that to also figure out the row (based on a row being 26px high or whatever). Do all that in a Hover event handler, and use it to set a private variable holding the index into the dataProvider. What I'd really like would be a hoverIndex that functions like selectedIndex, but that seems to be missing - should I be going about this a different way ? -- Tom Chiverton **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
