That is a great idea I can use for the height and width.
However, I still need the x and y. I can probably infer the y from
the datagrid y, but then I need a replacement to get the x. I am
currently doing this:
var xOffset:int = 0;
var horizScroll:int = grid.horizontalScrollPosition;
for each ( var col:DataGridColumn in grid.columns ) {
if ( horizScroll == 0 ) break;
xOffset += col.width;
horizScroll--;
}
var xPos:int = headerRenderer.x - xOffset;
As you see, I am using the headerRenderer instance (which I only have
when I have a mouse event to get it out of) to determine the x position.
I've got three of the four I need! Any ideas on a different way to
get x?
Thanks!
