[flexcoders] Re: Group Header Combox Dropdown List
Tracy: I myself ran a Google search, but did not include the search keywords as you did. I did see the one I think you are referring to which uses a separator. I even looked at the code. Problem was I did not understand why certain things were done the way they were. And as you said, this question has more than one complicated answer. Obviously many people find the need to extend the existing Flex components and many are more knowledgeable than others. It helps me to look at other people's code, analyze it to try and understand first how they did it and then why they chose to do it that way. While there are some general docs, articles, blogs, etc. on extending various components, I have not found any that are indepth or true step-by-step. Can you or anyone recommend any sources.

I don't think anyone reads them all, so the subject has to strike a chord with someone. This one just didn't. Chance is a factor, and it is fair to bump a question with no responses. 2) It is a general question with more than one fairly complicated answer. The simple, short, and undeniable answer is: custom item renderer. But that is so general it is probably of little use to anyone. Plus, a google search: Flex combobox unselectable header Returns many hits, the 5th of which looks very much like the place to start.

Mispoke, some.
Setting rollOverSkin to null has no effect. Setting rollOverColor
to null changes background color to Black. Setting themeColor to
null changes the background color to Medium Grey.

Typically hundreds. You *never* get down to zero and rarely even into the dozens. The question is how many of them are there and how important are they. You cant put a new release out every time there is a bug. So you have to decide when a good time to do it is. If there are major and important bugs to fix, you put a release out. But you cant do that weekly. Thats why its important for them to know if there are any showstopper or really important bugs. So Matt's question was important. Are there any bad bugs that they dont know about? It makes total sense to me, if there are no major bugs, to wait and put out a new release in 4 or 5 months. New releases are organizationally traumatic. And they are also not risk free. It is always possible to introduce new bad bugs while fixing old not so important ones. So waiting a while and being sure everything is right with a full QA cycle is not a bad thing at all. Doing that around a major change like mac support (which will also effect the windows version because its the same codebase) seems like the right thing to do if there are no major problems.
