[flexcoders] Datagrid Password Column?

[Dennis Falling]

I have an editable DataGrid that displays usernames and masked passwords
(********).  To hide the password, I'm just using an inline item renderer:

<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="password" headerText="Password"
editorDataField="text" rendererIsEditor="true">
    <mx:itemRenderer>
        <mx:Component>
            <mx:TextInput displayAsPassword="true" borderStyle="none"/>
        </mx:Component>
    </mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:DataGridColumn>

This works exactly how I want it to, with very little code...except it
doesn't look too hot when that row is selected: the TextInput always has a
solid white background whether it's selected or not.  Is there an easy way
to tell it to make it not show a background except when selected (appear
like the default item editor)?  I've listened to the various edit events but
can't figure out a clean way of doing this.

Thanks!
