You do not. Item renderers are recycled, and only the visible ones even exist. Renerers cannot be relied on to retain any stae
Your itemRenderer must set it state (selectedIndex of the ComboBox) based on the value of a property on the dataProvider item. When a user makes a selection in the Combo box, it must update that property. You can then loop over the dataProvider to access the current values. Making this happen is a bit complex. Take a look at the example here: http://www.cflex.net/showFileDetails.cfm?ObjectID=767 I do not provide it as a production-level component, just as an example or starting point, but it does address the necessary issues.

The data grid has 3 columns, 2 populated by values in the arraycollection and one with a combobox as an itemrenderer which is not in the dataprovider. How do look through the entire grid getting the combobox value which the user has chosen for each row? thanks in advance. /Eric
