Hi, I think, default CellRenderer is mx.controls.Label, so you can not set the backgroundColor of one particular cell by getting reference of cell.
But one sure way I know, you can write custom cellrenderer which can lookup in dataprovider or some other style and sets the background color. However, wait for DataGrid gurus for their response :) See the code for example, it is just for example..... 1) ##SimpleCustomCellRenderer.mxml## <mx:TextInput xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; borderStyle="none" backgroundAlpha="0"> <mx:Script> function setValue(str, item, sel) { text = String(item.Price); var price:Number = Number(text); if(price > 100) { setCellBackgroundColor(0x00FF00, 100); } else if(price > 1000) { setCellBackgroundColor(0x00FF00, 100); } } function setCellBackgroundColor(newColor, newAlpha) { setStyle("backgroundAlpha", newAlpha==undefined ? 0 : newAlpha); setStyle("backgroundColor", newColor); } </mx:Script> </mx:TextInput> 2) ##CellBgColorTest.mxml## <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";> <mx:DataGrid id="myGrid" width="350" height="100"> <mx:columns> <mx:Array> <mx:DataGridColumn columnName="Artist"/> <mx:DataGridColumn columnName="Price" cellRenderer="SimpleCellRenderer"/> <mx:DataGridColumn columnName="Album" /> </mx:Array> </mx:columns> <mx:dataProvider> <mx:Array id="arr"> <mx:Object Artist=" Kapil" Album="All Time Favourites" Price="200"/> <mx:Object Artist=" Kapil" Album="Classic Songs" Price="10"/> </mx:Array> </mx:dataProvider> </mx:DataGrid> </mx:Application> -abdul -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of sanjayd Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 12:41 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] change background color of a gridCell ? quick question...does anybody know, how to change the background color of a cell in a dataGrid?
