Thanks guys, I was finally able to solve it.

 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.

 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.

[flexcoders] Adding an ellipsis to truncated text in Text control

[geraldshastri]

I am using a text control but it's not showing the ellipsis ('...')
after the truncated text. The documentation clearly says that it
should be added. Do I have to toggle some settings to get the ellipsis
after the truncated text?

Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: Adding an ellipsis to truncated text in Text control

[geraldshastri]

Yes I did that, and by default that property is set to true, as per
the documentation.

[flexcoders] Re: popUp property null on creationComplete

[geraldshastri]

Thanks Alex

I've discovered the true nature of this problem, I am building a
mockup for an application with lots of graphical skins and a few
custom components but after some point the moment I add another
component (an Image, a VBox, a Text etc. ) I start receiving these
runtime errors. The item renderers fail to work, popUpButtons refuse
to open despite clicking. Btw I am using the 60 day trial of flex
builder 3 are there some restrictions in the trial?

 The popup isn't created until just before the OPEN event, so I'd listen
 for that and set the itemrenderer then.

 I am using a popUpMenuButton inside an MXML component but trying to
 set an itemRenderer fails since the popUp property is null even after
 the creationComplete event is fired. Does anyone have a clue to this?

[flexcoders] Message posting guidelines

[geraldshastri]

Are there any guidelines for posting to this group? I'm trying hard
for so many days without any luck, my questions never show up in the
lists. What are the rules of censorship being used here? Or is there a
few days of delay or latency of some kind?

I hope if there are guidelines new comers like me will be saved from a
lot of anxiety waiting for a response with their fingers crossed :).
