The key will be in your renderer code for the ComboBox. How did you set up coloring? On occasion, the entire List is destroyed and re-created which can reset your renderers. -Alex

If I select a list item that has the red color, then when the setStyle("color", "#AA0000") executes all of the list items are rendered in red (#AA0000). A odd thing is that if I next select one of the (now red) list items that should be gray, then when the cb.setStyle("color", "#0B333C") executes the list items are rendered properly (gray items are gray and red items are red). It seems it's only when setStyle changes the color to something other than the default that the itemRenderer no longer has an effect. When the color is changed back to the default, then the itemRenderer works again. Very strange, and very irritating :-) Paul --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > In theory, if your renderer picks a new font color based on a property, > they should be ignoring the default color always. > > ________________________________ > > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ] On > Behalf Of Paul Whitelock > Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2007 7:06 AM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> > Subject: [flexcoders] Setting the Font Color for a Selected ComboBox > Item > > I'm using a ComboBox with an itemRenderer to control the font color of > items in the dropdown list (items in the dropdown list have their font > color determined by a property value for each item). > > I'd like to have the font color for the selected item in the ComboBox > match the font color that the item has in the dropdown list.
