My direct experience with only with ListitemRenderer and I have not dug into DataGridItemRenderer, so read my suggestions with that in mind.
First, you said your goal was to color the background. As Alex suggested, see his example on that. If you don't like that, extend DataGridItemRenderer, leave UITextField and figure out how to color the background. Maybe "backgroundFillColor"?

I am not sure exactly how to modify those classes. DataGridItemRenderer does not have a measure() method. Should I create a similar class DataGridItemRendererCustom and have it extend TextArea instead of UITextField? Can you tell me what exactly I would need to modify?
