When I did this, I did not extend ListItemRenderer, but rather copied it an modfied the code. ListItemRenderer does properly handle height and width measurement. You could look at the code, specifically in the measure() method, to see what you need to do to duplicate the functionality.

Hi, I have made a custom control by extending the ListItemRenderer to use as an itemRenderer with a list control. This custom component has some images and text controls. But I am having trouble sizing the Text controls. The Text control can have a varying width depending upon the width of the component, but then how do I set the height of the Text control? The list is set to use variable row heights. I referred to http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/105824 <http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/105824> which seems to be a similar problem, but I am not able to figure it out. Thanks for any help.
