[flexcoders] Re: Setting the Font Color for a Selected ComboBox Item
Yes, that's what I would have thought too :-) On the ComboBox close event this is all I'm doing: if (cb.selectedItem.status == a) cb.setStyle(color, #0B333C); else cb.setStyle(color, #AA); If I select an item in the list that has the color #0B333C (the default dark gray font color for list items), then everything is fine (the #AA items in the list stay red and the #0B333C items in the list stay gray). If I select a list item that has the red color, then when the setStyle(color, #AA) executes all of the list items are rendered in red (#AA). 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, 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.

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 From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Whitelock Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2007 8:40 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Setting the Font Color for a Selected ComboBox Item Yes, that's what I would have thought too :-) On the ComboBox close event this is all I'm doing: if (cb.selectedItem.status == a) cb.setStyle(color, #0B333C); else cb.setStyle(color, #AA); If I select an item in the list that has the color #0B333C (the default dark gray font color for list items), then everything is fine (the #AA items in the list stay red and the #0B333C items in the list stay gray).

The itemRenderer is very simple. The source is below -- is there another
that way I should code it? Thanks for any suggestions!

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. By
default, this doesn't happen. If I do a setStyle on the ComboBox
to
manually set the selected item's font color to match the font color
the item has in the list, this works to set the selected item's font
color, but it also sets the font color for every item in the
dropdown
list (it seems to override the itemRenderer).
Is there a way that I can set the font color for a selected item in
a
ComboBox without impacting the font color (set by an itemRenderer)
of
dropdown list items?
Thanks for any tips!
