Thanks to everyone for the replies. Unfortunately, this approach has a rather nasty side effect, which I can only assume is a bug. Also, isn't this the same as having an event handler for the dataChange event on the itemRenderer?
The side effect is that if your DataGrid has a scrollbar and you scroll an item out of view, this event/method gets executed; in my case clearing the selection. Why the dataChange event (pretty sure that's what this is capturing) would be dispatched due to scrolling is beyond me, so my guess is that its a bug.
