This Might Help you ... and is much better way then wraping header text <mx:DataGridColumn headerRenderer="HeaderRenderer" ..... />
//HeaderRenderer.mxml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Label xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; text="{data.headerText}" truncateToFit="true"> </mx:Label> ----- Original Message ----- From: jmfillman To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 11:00 AM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: DataGrid scroll size on data load I have horizontalScrollPolicy="on", which doesn't make a difference.

My preference would be a column itemRenderer using a TextArea with word wrap, but that doesn't appear to work either. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You can set column sizes whenever you feel like it, but if you have > hScrollPolicy="off", the other columns may adjust since all columns must > fit on screen under that policy.
