buttonMode and useHandCursor property in DataGrid doesn't work

Question

Set proprty of "buttonMode" and "useHandCursor" to true in DataGrid, it does not work as I expect. Only move the cursor to the edge between two rows, the hand cursor can show. What I expect is that no matter where the cursor is moved, it should always show hand cursor

following is one of itemRenderer:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Label 
    xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    useHandCursor="true" buttonMode="true">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import valueObject.Employee;

            override public function set data(value:Object):void{
                super.data = value;
                var employee:Employee = value as Employee;
                this.text = employee.lastName;
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
</mx:Label>

Answer 1

Because when you are hoving over an "area with data" it's not the DG that's deciding what the cursor should be, it's whatever is being used as the ItemRenderer. So you should be setting the properties on the renderer, not the DG.

Answer 2

To solve this, please tell us what itemRenderer you are using (i.e. a custom mx:Label) and maybe also post some code.

In Theory, it works like this:

1. Create e.g. a custom mx:Label and name it "MyLabel.mxml"
2. Set the buttonMocde and useHandCursor properties.
3. Assign "MyLabel" to the itemRenderer property of your DataGrid. Be careful to adjust for paths information if using nested folders..

This should do the trick.
