Implement IDropInLIstItemRenderer. 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 somewhere

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
