If you implemet IDropInListItemRenderer, you will get passed the column you are rendering. There are examples on my blog http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/item_renderers/ that you might find useful

The itemRenderer will look at a property of the data object that it receives to tell what style should be applied to the <mx:Text> object that will display the data. That part is easy. But how do I set the "text" value of the <mx:Text> to whatever the value of that column is? (does that make sense?) For example, if the column I'm in has a dataField property of "email", I want the itemRenderer to display the value of email -- without having to write data.email in the itemRenderer. What we're really trying to do is to apply a style to the text of an entire row if one of the row's properties is true. Thanks, mark
