I think it is the problem with itemRenderers or TextField in particular. If a itemRenderer doesn't support backgroundColor as a style there is very little ADG can do. Hence a small tweak is required to get this working.
As TextField doesn't support alpha when background is true some users don't like this idea and go on to override the drawRowBackground. --- In [email protected], "Pan Troglodytes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am fairly shocked that AdvancedDataGrid does not support this out of the > box.
