Dude, that was four months ago! You could've asked again sooner.
Another approach may be to subclass, get the .header, getChildByName("headerBG") and set its alpha=0 ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of dorkie dork from dorktown Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 9:57 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders]Setting DataGrid header to transparent I've been working on this for a while with no luck... can you provide an example or some tips?

I want to set the header background fill to transparent and show a border along the bottom of the column headers. Currently the CSS Design View does not let me change the Datagrid header fill alpha. Here is the code I am using: <mx:XML id="xmlData" format="e4x"> <XML1> <items> <item name="item 1" enabled="true" column1="8:00PM" /> </items> </XML1> </mx:XML> <mx:DataGrid x="10" y="71" dataProvider="{xmlData.items.item}"> <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Name" dataField="@name"/> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 1" dataField="@column1"/> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Edit" dataField="edit"/> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Enabled" dataField="@enabled"/> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid>
