It looks like :)
Ok, here is what I did. First in the MXML I created a Currency
Formater.
<mx:CurrencyFormatter id="StdMoneyFormat"
useThousandsSeparator="true"/>
Then in the dataGrid for the column I wanted to format I used the
labelFunction parameter
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="$ Prop." width="75"
labelFunction="formatNumber" columnName="DOLLAR_PROPOSED" />
and in my Actionscript file I created a function.
import mx.controls.gridclasses.DataGridColumn;
public function formatNumber(dpItem:Object,
dgColumn:DataGridColumn):String {
return StdMoneyFormat.format(dpItem[dgColumn.columnName]);
}
unlike cellRenderer, in a dataGrid (**only**) the labelFunction
passes 2 items. The std dataObject that cellRenderer passes and
specificaly the column information. So I just do a simple return of
the dataObject indexed by the columnName in the dataGridColumn object.
Just as a note, there is also a columnNumber in the dataGridColum
object that would do exactly the same, just with the numerical index
value vs the enumerated index value.
This should work for all the data Formaters includeing Date.
**only** = Acording to the documentation, anything else that uses the
labelFunction only gets the dataObject since they are 1 dimential
arrays vs 2 dimentional grids. Plus if you specify one of the drop
in renderers it will adjust in all cases to send what they need. As
I understand it.
