Doh!, I'd somenow missed that bit about dynamic objects and itemUpdated, but when I googled my archives I found many times when Alex said: "Unless the data object is [bindable], modifications to data objects must be accompanied by a call to itemUpdated on the collection."
And sorry, Ben, of course that dynamic object is not strongly typed like I said. And seeing the update happening was a function of my debugging technique, since usually I was causing the focus to leave the editor. I've got it now, thanks guys.

That is because Combo disabling is handled in commitProperties and you are changing the enabled after super.commitProperties. That is fixed by moving super.commitProperties: override protected function commitProperties():void { if (_oItem) { var bDisabled:Boolean = !_oItem.disabledFlag this.enabled = bDisabled; trace("commitProperties - value:" + _oItem.value + ", DISABLED=" + (this.enabled == false)); } super.commitProperties(); }//commitProperties The next problem is that clicking a checkbox doesn't update. Editing is session based and won't update the DP on click, but later when focus leaves the editor. Normally you put in a click/change event on the checkbox renderer and call itemUpdated on that event. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tracy Spratt Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2007 12:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcomponents] Re: How to call invalidateList() from within a renderer The CBO set data and commitProperties overrides are getting called correctly by the framework whenever I click the checkbox in the other column, and the CBO.enabled property is being set correctly, per the trace. If you have time and inclination, take a look at my test case the other post.

What is supposed to cause your ComboBox to revalidate then?
