Thanks, Alex! Your article was very helpful! Just to document the one hole I fell into - I was trying to set the text color using the UITextField's textColor property while setting italics using the TextFormat object returned by textField.getTextStyles(). This didn't work - I could get color OR I could get italics, but not both.
The problem was that once I implemented getTextStyles, I had to set the text color thru the textFormat.color property instead. All works great now. :-) --- In [email protected], "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Check out the examples on my blog > http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2007/03/thinking_about_item_renderers_1.ht > ml > > > > > > ________________________________ > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of tsiesser > Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 1:49 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [flexcoders] Italics in datagrid cell > > > > Hi - I'm trying to display italics in a datagrid cell based on certain > row criteria.
