I am quite frustrated with the DataGrid. I do thank you for the help and appreciate your feedback. I changed from using a List to a DataGrid because I needed to line up the images in the List. It has been painful. I haven't looked into the AdvancedDataGrid in Flex 3, but I hope it is easier to customize.
I can't access the things I need in the DataGrid. I can't get a hold of the renderers for the datagrid or the columns. --- In [email protected], "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Technically you would iterate through the dataprovider and measure the > text/renderer forthe appropriate column.
