Thanks Amy, But that did not help. I already have all that in my library. I have a bunch of components there and all render quite well in design mode. The only one that does not is the DataGridColumn subclass.
As I mentioned before, all my subclass does is add a couple properties to DGC. Pretty basic, just some custom public properties, which are used by my DataGrid extension. I even looked into the DG & DGC source code and found no reference/use of the design mode flag. DG or DGC does not do anything special while in design mode. I believe that wireframe preview is rendered by FB3 itself, in DataGrid's case and maybe it does not recognize DGC from a different namespace, or something like that. So far, that was the only component extension I made that has failed to render. cheers, julio --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Amy" <amyblankens...@...> wrote: > > > > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "fourctv" <fourctv@> wrote: > > > > Amy, > > > > it is already in a swc library. > > > > what do you mean by 'program for the design time view'? > > all my DGC subclass does is add a couple extra properties. no changes or > > overrides of any sort. > > > > tia > > julio > > http://blogs.digitalprimates.net/codeSlinger/index.cfm/2007/4/9/Ah-design-view > http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adc-presents/create-live-previews-for-custom-components-in-flex/ > > HTH; > > Amy >
