I have a dataGrid which uses keyDown to fire a keyboard checking routine. This allows the user to navigate the grid via the up/down cursor keys to change the editedItemPosition. One of the grid columns contains a checkbox which can be toggled via the spacebar, and is the default Flex action. However, sometimes this does not work correctly and the checkbox, although toggled, is actually grey in colour. I guess this is selected, but not enabled for some season, and have yet to investigate this. Also, sometimes the toggle action does not work and it takes a couple of spacebar presses to get the checkbox to toggle. I've no idea why this is.
Can Flex's automatic spacebar toggle action be disabled for this grid so that I can capture the spacebar keyboard event manually and toggle it via my own function?
