thanks. I appreciate the replies esp. since I can't provide my app's sample code here so I guess it's difficult for others to figure out.
I guess the problem is I tried to avoid using itemEditors entirely and used itemRenderers instead, so now the tab order is all messed up and doesn't scroll. I'm going to try using itemEditors again. However, the main problem there is that I want to render the column as a checkbox and have it editable as a checkbox also. So I'll do the ff: 1. set itemRenderer=checkbox and itemEditor=checkbox. 2. set tabEnabled=false for the checkbox itemRenderer; this is so that the itemRenderers don't screw up the tab order Under the above setup, the tab order seems correct. The only issue with the above that I'm not sure how to support is that visually the column is a checkbox, but requires the user to click twice on the checkbox to toggle the value (once to enable edit mode, second time to actually edit). Is there any way to avoid this? Most of the examples of using checkbox as an itemEditor seem to use static text as the renderer. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > the default editing code handles offscreen rows. > > you can probably override focusinhandler and set editeditemposition > > the dg remembers the last position of the editor and restores editing > there > > ________________________________ > > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Stephen Roy J.
