[flexcoders] Re: toolTip for dataGrid headers?

2006-06-22 Thread djbrown_rotonews

That did the trick, nearly. My header text, that used to span 
two rows, now only has the first row displayed and omits the 
remainder of the header. I have headerWordWrap set to true, but 
there must be something else I have to do. any help?

[flexcoders] Re: toolTip for dataGrid headers?

2006-06-22 Thread Tim Hoff
Even though you set headerWordWrap to true, when a headerRenderer is 
used those properties are repaced when the renderer is created.  
Keep in mind, the default item renderer is a Text field.  In the 
HeaderRenderer AS, change the Height (maybe to 40) and the header 
text should wrap.  You might also have to deal with the header text 
alignment.

[flexcoders] Re: toolTip for dataGrid headers?

2006-06-22 Thread djbrown_rotonews

That did the trick. Still some minor issues when sorting columns 
(the arrow ends up messing up the alignment of the header text), but 
this gets me most of the way there. 

thanks
