Re: [flexcoders] Re: cellRenderer not recognizing click events for Custom Mxml Cell Renderer

[Anatole Tartakovsky]

Kevin,     I am a bit confused. Do you have other traces in the application? Can you see them? Here is tracer that I use : http://ajaxmaker.com/xpanel     We are using cellrenderers within dynamic datagrids (layout persisted in DB) all the time - no issues there - they do have mouseDown and click handlers. I personally would not name the method "click" as it is confusing to me but would call it arrowClick().     click event is not handled by the parent or propagated to the parent. Your control should define custom event and dispatch it to the listOwner so the parent can react on it.

I've tried several of the techniques in Chapter 16 of the "Developing Rich Clients" Flex book and still no luck. What boggles me is that the 'click' event w/i my cell renderer mxml file works when I use the "cellRenderer" attribute of the mx:Datagrid tag, but it doesn't work when I apply my mxml file to the .cellRenderer attribute of a dynamically created datagrid. Obviously something is getting lost b/w the parent object and my mxml file where the dispatched event does not get handled by the parent. I've tried all sorts of fixes using 'parent' to no luck. Does anyone know how this works? Thanks. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Kevin Ewok" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Flexcoders - >  >   I have a mxml file which is basically copy and paste from the > TimePicker.mxml file.
