Yes, leave off renderIseditor="true".
Your renderer will know which item it is currently associated with, since that reference gets passed into the renderer any time the underlying data changes in the set data() function. Further, if the renderer implements the IDropInListItemrrenderer interface, you will als have access to the listData and thus dataProvider, should you need to get the itemIndex using getItemIndex. _____ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Gal Afik Sent: Saturday, March 07, 2009 12:48 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: drag&drop inside itemEditor in dataGrid...a tricky question Hmm... Thanks for the response...nice idea... but how do I access the right row in the dataprovider XMLListCollection? (rowIndex?) and if I choose this approach I simply turn the editor to renderer?
