I think columnIndex is a property on listData.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: showDataTips are not working for the Datagrid
columns having itemRenderers
Thanks for the response... My confusion is because I'm not sure
exactly how to get access to the column from the item renderer. I'm
using data[DataGridListData(listData).dataField] to access the data to
make reusable, but don't see any way via data or listData to get a
reference to the column. If there's another way to get at itemToData
or the dataTipFunction, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks.

If I plug such a renderer into a DG with data that looks like {
firstname: alex, lastname: harui } I can set the dataTipField to
lastname, but If I've got some complex XML like
person
name
firstNameAlex/firstName
lastNameHarui/lastName
/name
address
citySF/city
stateCA/state
/address
/person
I can cook up a dataTipFunction like
data..lastName + , + data..firstName + + data..city
I think that's what you want, or I don't understand what you're

Check out the validateProperties() method in DataGridItemRenderer.as. It uses columnIndex to get the column and the dataTip From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of dfalling Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 12:52 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: showDataTips are not working for the Datagrid columns having itemRenderers It is, but that's an int...I'm not sure how that helps me get access to the column itself or to the datatip function. Is there a better place for asking questions like these? I feel like everyone's expecting a level of knowledge beyond mine and don't want to post here if another place would be more appropriate. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com , Tracy Spratt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think columnIndex is a property on listData.

I don't want my item renderer to be coupled to any of the grids that are using it, but need to show a datatip that relies on several different fields in certain grids. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com , Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The item renderer is responsible for showing the datatips.

I guess I'm missing something obvious...are you saying to create the
datatip field ahead of
time in the file with the datagrid, and put a data tip function in the
item renderer that
accesses that field if it exists?
