You should set the Text's width to some portion of the item renderer's explicitWidth before measuring the Text.
Note that ListItemRenderer already does wordwrapping and uses TextField instead of the heavier Text component. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of geraldshastri Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 4:54 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Determining text control's height in a ListItemRenderer. 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.
