Re: [flexcoders] DataGrid column header - wordWrap - but not break whole words

[slangeberg]

I did fumble around a bit with the header renderer, and that is probably the
ultimate way to go. However, I was able to come up with a pretty low-tech
solution, for the time being:

That's the behaviour of the built-in TextField object and I don't
think anything can be done about it. You could maybe write your own
header renderer and write the word-wrapping logic yourself (and
truncate words that are longer than the available width).

Is there any reason why you can't set the headerRenderer in AS3? I'm getting
the following error (and this is just pointing at the 'default' class - I
want to extend it):

var col:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn();
col.headerRenderer = IFactory(DataGridItemRenderer);

Ok, disregard. Fix should be:

col.headerRenderer = new ClassFactory( HeaderRenderer );

As found here:

Any one come up with a strategy so that labels in the DataGrid column
headers (or elsewhere) can wrap, but not be broken in the midde of a word?
