flex: cant edit item in Datagrid with override set data method

Question

Hi everybody,

I've a custom itemRenderer for my datagrid. To set the actual data I use the following method:

override public function set data(side:Object):void{
   ...
}

As soon as I use this function the cell doesn't show up any item Editor anymore. Why is that? When I remove this function the itemEditor is working but with the wrong initialization data...

What's the proper way to handle this?

Thanks, Markus

Have u called 'Super' on that method ?

Thanks Immanuel,

This solved it partially, but I got a new problem...

The following error shows up after I leave the element...

ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property Column1 not found on String and there is no default value

The debugger stops at DataGrid.as:

if (property != null && data[property] !== newData){
   bChanged = true;
   data[property] = newData;
}

Why that?

Thanks Markus

Make sure that you also have an itemEditor that is correctly working or that you set the rendererIsEditor property to true and use the renderer as the editor.
