That is not the correct use of an item editor. Instead, you should set the DataGridColumn.editorDataField property and listen for the itemEditEnd event. In your item renderer, you would then create a public getter method by the same name as the editorDataField to retrieve cbItemRenderer.getSelectedItem().label. I'm pretty sure you will also need a getter method to set the correct selectedIndex of the ComboBox.
