Ohhh, yes, that is right, the default item render for ADG does not support a background color, sorry, I forgot that.
So yeah, an item renderer looks like the way to go on that. Google this, surely someone has an example. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vivian Richard Sent: Monday, July 14, 2008 8:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: advanceddatagrid itemrenderer refering current column's data Thanks for the response Tracy. By styling you are referring to the stylefunction? My understanding that that the stylefunction is only meant for the text not the background color.

Man I guess you paid google : every time I search anything regarding ADG you blog pops up. :-) Thanks for taking time to share that with us. As I found all your examples are addressing the whole row, I needed something for individual cells. I tried to work with your code and put the itemrenderer in ADGColumn but did not work accordingly. My requirement is very simple: all my ADGColumn will have the same itemrenderer and if the Column source has a nonempty string it will put the background color else leave it as is. Regards....

Also, AdvancedDataGrid supports a style function, that you can use from outside the ADG to set styles.
