flex custom itemRenderer doesn't use the styles specified...

Question

Hi everybody,

I have a custom item renderer which I use for my DataGrid. The DataGrid has specified selectionColor, rollOverColor and themeColor. The Problem is that the custom item renderer, does ignore those colors, and doesn't give any Feedback...

I tried to add the lines:

setStyle("selectionColor", 0xEDF1F7);
setStyle("rollOverColor", 0xE1F5DE);
setStyle("themeColor", 0x3569B0);

But with no effect...

Who can help on that?

Thanks, Markus

Answer 1

Those styles won't apply to the component you are using for your itemRenderer (which you don't mention). They're styles of the DataGrid itself.

So let's say you're using a Canvas. Try setting the backgroundAlpha of the Canvas to 0.0 so that your DataGrid's selection and other colors will show through.
