Yes, subclasses can access protected members. Subclassing is basic ObjectOriented programming so you'll have to figure out how to learn how to do that. It is out of my scope to help you with that. There are some custom component examples in our doc.

Can you tell me a bit more? I have looked through the debugger and seen the listItems but I cannot seem to figure out how to get reference to that list during runtime... Is this what "subclassing" will do for me? How can I do that? Thanks again for at least letting me know it's even POSSIBLE though. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You'll have to subclass and then snoop through the listItems array > > > > ________________________________ > > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ] On > Behalf Of Matt Maher > Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2007 4:20 PM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> > Subject: [flexcoders] coordiates of items in a datagrid > > > > I have a datagrid and want the user to be able to draw a "selection > box" over the elements in it... > > When the user lets go of the mouse button I want to look through the > items of the grid to ask each if they fall within the coordinates of > the box. > > This sounds so simple and I've gotten to the last step in the process, > but I cannot seem to find any way to determine the coordinates of the > elements in the datagrid which are currently displayed.
