You're probably better off just using
dgc.itemRenderer=new ClassFactory(TextInput)

TextInput already implements IDropInListItemRenderer, so it can
probably set the text through pfm. When you set the properties in
the second argument of ClassFactory, that sets it for ALL instances
of the Factory. That's what ClassFactories are for :-).
IDropInListItemRenderer is the interface that lets components know
how to pick up datagrid data without custom methods.
