event.target (or currentTarget) returns a reference to the ComboBox, so you should be able to access any public members, like selectedIndex, selectedItem, selectedLabel...

However, in the listener function I would like to access the selected item of the ComboBox. public function updateMe(event:DataGridEvent):void{ if(event.columnIndex ==0){ //Do something with the data from the comboBox }else{ //Do Nothing } } Does anyone have an idea how to get that data? I see that I can dispatch a reference to the itemRenderer DataGridEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean = false, columnIndex:int = -1, dataField:String = null, rowIndex:int = -1, reason:String = null, itemRenderer:IListItemRenderer = null, localX:Number) But am unsure whether it is the way, or how to actually implement it. Is it a class reference or a reference to a variable?? Hmm... Anyway, if anyone can help me out, it might save my hair. Thanks
