RE: [flexcoders] Re: Making the datagrid header background alpha 0

[Andrew Trice]

I was able to get the *header* to be transparent doing the following, but the color of the ListBaseContentHolder shows through and is not transparent.  If you set backgroundAlpha=”0” on the datagrid, then it will be completely transparent, but then you also lose any row background colors that you may have had, but highlight colors still work.   MXML Markup: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns:local="*" layout="absolute">                         <mx:Style>                         DataGrid {                                     backgroundAlpha:0;                         }                       </mx:Style>                         <local:MyDataGrid x="10" y="10" dataProvider="{[1,2,3,4,5]}" >                         <local:columns>                                     <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 1" dataField="col1"/>                                     <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 2" dataField="col2"/>                                     <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 3" dataField="col3"/>                         </local:columns>             </local:MyDataGrid>             </mx:Application>   MyDataGrid Class: package {             import mx.controls.DataGrid;             import mx.core.UIComponent;               public class MyDataGrid extends DataGrid             {                         override protected function drawHeaderBackground( headerBG : UIComponent ) : void                         {                                     headerBG.alpha = 0;                         }             } }   _____________________________________ Andrew Trice Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com   Blog: http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 866-CYNERGY    From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of hank williams Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 2:50 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Making the datagrid header background alpha 0   Jim, Thanks, buy yeah I've tried that and it doesnt work. I can set the font, but not the backgroundAlpha.
