The renderers need a way to access a variable outside the DG that represents the checkbox state. You could put it in your data model.
You'll have to call invalidateList() to refresh DG. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of rviswanathan Sent: Friday, May 30, 2008 12:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] select datagrid column cells based on checkbox click Hi I have a datagrid and a checkbox outside of it. When I click the checkbox, I need a specific set of cells (not complete rows) on only one of the columns to be highlighted (with some background color). How can I go about doing this? This is what I attempted. a) I have an itemRenderer associated with this column. b) WHen I select the checkbox, how will this itemrenderer actually get invoked? Do I have to do a refresh or do anything with the data provider? (The checkbox is a separate control outside the grid, both these are in the same mxml) c) Even if the itemrenderer gets invoked, I have no idea of what the selected state of the checkbox is (cos I need to restore the original color when the checkbox is unchecked). Can you please advice?
