Hey Valdhor... Thanks for your reply, that's really helpfull...

I've looked up default.css and this is all it is...

.headerDragProxyStyle
{
fontWeight: bold;
}

Do you how I can find out what CSS attributes can be used with the
.headerDragProxyStyle CSS style and against other Flex objects?... I'm sure
there's a few rules to follow where I can use the docs to lookup the answers
but I'm having trouble getting my head round it :-)

e.g. By chance I just tried this and alas it worked but my question now is
is everything just guess work or is there a way to find out what else I have
in my armoury... :)

.headerDragProxyStyle {
  borderColor: black;
  borderStyle: sold;
  borderThickness: 3;
  backgroundColor: green;
}


Thanks  :-)

 It is a skin. You can create your own and use it. If I were you I would
 copy the ButtonSkin.as file and modify it to what you need. BTW. The
 ButtonSkin.as file is found (At least, on my machine) at ...Flex Builder 3
 install
 directory\sdks\3.4.0\frameworks\project\framework\src\mx\skins\halo\ButtonSkin.as

  Here's another... :)
 
  DataGrid  Styles  headerColors = [#FF, #E6E6E6] - I've used this
 one
  and it's a gradient.
 
  but can someone help me with this please?...
 
  DataGrid  Styles  headerDragProxyStyleName = headerDragProxyStyle.

 headerDragProxyStyle is a CSS style. It is defined in ...Flex Builder 3
 install directory\sdks\3.4.0\frameworks\project\framework\defaults.css.

 
 
  Also, is headerDragProxyStyle affected if I use a headerRenderer?

 Now, that, I have no idea.

  Thanks for any help or links so i can read up...
 
  Cheers,
  Nick

I wouldn't modify any styles in the defaults.css file. I would create a new 
style and apply it to the headerDragProxyStyleName parameter.

I learned what I know from documents like:

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=styles_01.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/text/StyleSheet.html

 Hi again :)

In fact, this didn't fully work... it only implemented a green
backgroundColor...

The border styles were completely ignored, Mmmm?...

Ahhh... :)

Sorry about this thread... I've just removed the backgroundColor, tried it
again and the black border has appeared.

I've tried adding a color: #FF;  but that seems to be ignored no matter
what I do?...


So I'm still stuck and confused :)

Cheers Steve,

I didn't modify the default.css - I created a new one with the same name at
the top of the MXML file that contains the Adv DataGrid...


Thanks for the links...
