Custom Itemrender in Datagrid with Datatip

Question

Hi community,

I have a datagrid with one datagridcolumn in it. Without a custom itemrenderer I can use a datatipfunction for showing a custom datatip but now I want to have a custom item render for colouring the rows differently. Therefore I extended a label and changed the data method but now my datatipfunction does not work anymore.

Any ideas?

thanks in advance

Answer 1

Just off the top of my head, maybe make your custom item renderer extend DataGridColumn. This will give your item renderer all the functionality of a regular column.

Answer 2

Hi

I know this question is a wee bit old, however I just ran into the same problem and solved it by looking at how the standard DataGridItemRenderer class does it.

So basically I ended up copying that toolTipShowHandler() function into my class (without any modification), implementing the IDropInListItemRenderer interface and adding a few lines into my renderer's commitProperties() function, which were inspired by the DataGridItemRenderer, too.

Hope this helps.
