Thanks for the reply!
you can display it somehow, maybe by setting a tooltip somewhere -
Getting the text isn't the problem, getting it to display is! :)
I want the tooltip to display whenever someone mouses over the cell in
the custom ItemRenderer's column (just like it works when I don't
specify a custom ItemRenderer). Any idea how to accomplish this?
Thanks!

The labelData will have a columnIndex where you can get the
dataTipFunction and run it (see DataGridItemRenderer.as). Once you
have the text, you can display it somehow, maybe by setting a tooltip

Subject: [flexcoders] Custom ItemRenderer and DataGrid/DataTips -
Renderer's Responsibility?
I have a DataGrid with a custom ItemRenderer written as an
ActionScript class (that extends HBox). I want the DataGrid to
display datatips for this column, but no datatips appear!
I've found a few bugs filed about this, but apparently this works as
designed:
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-9822
Not a bug. It is the renderer's responsibility to deal with
dataTipFunction. This is for performance reasons.
So the question is...
How does a custom ItemRenderer deal with the dataTipFunction to create
/ display the datatip?
I know the ItemRenderer is responsible, so can someone give me an
example of how to fulfill this responsibility? :)
Thanks!
Mike
