In a DataGrid, how can I force data() of all itemRenderers on visible rows to be called when I've made an update to the dataProvider.

I'n the following the Grid isn't updated after pressing doSomething. If I have a large list the update is done when scrolling down and then back up again, or in the case of the TreeGrid i open/close a node.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<mx:VBox
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns:flexlib="http://code.google.com/p/flexlib/"
initialize="_initialize()">

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[

    import mx.events.CollectionEvent;

    import mx.controls.Alert;
    import Icons;

    [Bindable]
    private var dataProvider0:XML;

    private function _initialize():void
    {
        dataProvider0 = <node>
                <node label="A" option="1">
                    <node label="C" option="1"/>
                    <node label="D" option="1"/>
                </node>
                <node label="B" option="1">
                    <node label="E" option="1"/>
                    <node label="F" option="1"/>
                </node>
            </node>;

    }

    private function doSomething():void
    {

        dataProvider0.node[0].@option = 0;
        dataProvider0.node[0].node[0].@option = 0;


    }

Have you tried

private function doSomething():void
{

    dataProvider0.node[0].@option = 0;
    dataProvider0.node[0].node[0].@option = 0;

    // force a redraw at earliest opportunity
    treeGrid1.invalidateDisplayList(); 

}

Yes, doesn't work :(

Try this:

private function doSomething():void
{
    dataProvider0.node[0].@option = 0;
    dataProvider0.node[0].node[0].@option = 0;

    treeGrid1.dataProvider.refresh();
    dataGrid1.dataProvider.refresh();
}
