Thanks for your suggestion Tracy.
I tried to use the rowCount as you suggested but it doesn't seem to have any
effect
Just as a test, I set it to 1 and still they heights of all the datagrids
vary
<mx:DataGrid x="20" y="36" showHeaders="false" width="525"
id="markSheetSectionDG" wordWrap="true" rowCount="1"
variableRowHeight="true" editable="true"
dataProvider="{markSheet10DGDataAC}" >
Note I have not set a height for the datagrid.
Any ideas anyone? Btw I am using Flex Builder 2.

I know repeater will allow for different heights of the items, but have had
this problem myself and have no ready solution.
Calculating the height is tough, because of the wordWrap. Perhaps there is
a property you could use, like measuredHeight, that you could use to set the
height explicitly. Timing this calc / set will be an issue.
What happens if you set the rowCount to the number of rows in each item's
dataProvider?
Just brainstorming a bit.

Subject: [flexcoders] Heights of repeated datagrids
Still trying to figure out how to control the heights of datagrids in a
repeated custom component.
If I do not set the height of the datagrid then all repeated datagrids seem
to acquire a height which is the height necessary to display the largest
amount of data. Therefore I end up with some data grids that only have one
row of data with HUGE amounts of empty space in them.
If I do set the height of the datagrid to 100% then each datagrid takes on a
height of 100% of the custom component height. Therefore I end up with
vertical scrollbars.
I basically want to have each repeated datagrid display all its rows of data
without using any vertical scrollbar.
Here is the relevant code of my custom component
Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; width="600">
<mx:DataGrid x="20" y="36" showHeaders="false" width="525"
id="markSheetSectionDG" wordWrap="true" variableRowHeight="true"
editable="true" dataProvider="{markSheet10DGDataAC}" height="100%">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText=""
dataField="blockTitle" editable="false" />
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="blockMark"
itemRenderer="mx.controls.CheckBox"
rendererIsEditor="true"
editorDataField="selected" headerText="" editable="true"
width="50" />
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
<mx:Text text="{_xmlItem.subTitle}" x="20" y="10" id="subTitle"
fontWeight="bold"/>
This problem is something that affects several areas of my application so it
would be great to find a solution.
Thanks
Paul
p.s the following is the code in my main mxml file that displays the
repeated custom component
<mx:VBox width="720" height="190" id="markSheetTile">
<mx:Repeater id="markSheet10NewRepeater"
dataProvider="{this.markSheet10XMLData}" >
<local:MarkSheet10Item id="markSheet10NewItem"
xmlItem="{markSheet10NewRepeater.currentItem}">
</local:MarkSheet10Item>
</mx:Repeater>
</mx:VBox>
