Strang problem in using TextBox in AdvancedDataGrid

[nsurendiran]

Hi All,

I am using AdvancedDataGrid to dispay series of rows which has 4 columns and I am using TextBox for all the columns using itemRenderer.

Earlier I used a Label and I had the height property hardcoded for each column to display multiline text, then I realized that If I use the Text component it will get adjusted to the multiline text automatically.

Now, the problem I am facing is that, I am using

myGrid.measureHeightOfItems(0, singlePageDp.length);

to calculate the height of the grid, since I set variableRowHeight="true" for the ADG, and I also have to display multiline, so the height may vary.

When I was using the Label in the ADG to display values in the itemRenderer it was giving the correct rowHeight(Also I hardcoded the height for the labels). But after I replace the Label to Text, I am always getting the rowHeight as 22 ( which I found wrong).

The code below I was using earlier with the Label,

<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn backgroundColor="black" headerText="Name">
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:Label text="{data.getNames()}" height="{data.names.length * bodyFontsize}"/>
</mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn>

to avoid the hardcoded height I replace the Label with the text like below
where I am getting the same output.


<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn backgroundColor="black" headerText="Name">
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:Text text="{data.getNames()}"/>
</mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn>
How I can calculate the rowHeight in this case?

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks.
