OK, so maybe a call to validateNow()? You have to be parented for that to work though.

It is an itemRenderer but not for a DataGrid, it's for the springgraph. I was tracing through that code and it appears to create its item renderers as free standing controls on a canvas, hence my remark. In my case I want the nodes in the springgraph just to be text, hence the use of a TextInput control which gives me nice control over some of the styling. This means I also do not explicitly control the sequence in which the text of the control gets set. I override the set data() method so I can also change some other properties of the control at the same time. That's when I want to set the control width.
