UITextFieldGridItemRenderer

Package | spark.skins.spark
Class | public class UITextFieldGridItemRenderer
Inheritance | UITextFieldGridItemRenderer UITextField FlexTextField flash.text.TextField
Implements | IGridItemRenderer, IStyleClient

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 2.5

The UITextFieldGridItemRenderer class defines simple and efficient item renderer that displays a single text label. For applications displaying grid controls with large numbers of visible cells, this renderer provides optimum performance on Microsoft Windows. It is based on TextField, not the Flash Text Engine (FTE), so it lacks support for some Spark text features and it does not support the FTE specific text styles.

You can control the label text wrapping by using the `wordWrap` property. For example, setting `wordWrap="false"` and `variableRowHeight="false"` creates fixed height cells whose labels do not wrap. If you do not explicitly set the `wordWrap` property, `wordWrap` will be set to the value of the grid's `variableRowHeight` property.

UITextFieldGridItemRenderer inherits its the value of the `layoutDirection` property from its parent. It should not be set directly on UITextFieldGridItemRenderer.

The UITextFieldGridItemRenderer class is not intended to be subclassed or copied. Create custom item renderers based on the GridItemRenderer class.

Property Detail

column | property

`column:GridColumn`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 2.5

The GridColumn object representing the column associated with this item renderer.

The default value is `null`.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Implementation
`public function get column():GridColumn`
`public function set column(value:GridColumn):void`

columnIndex | property |

`columnIndex:int` [read-only]

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 2.5

The column index for this item renderer's cell. This is the same value as `column.columnIndex`.

Implementation
`public function get columnIndex():int`

data | property |

`data:Object`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 2.5

The value of the data provider item for the entire row of the grid control. Item renderers often bind visual element attributes to properties of this object.

The default value is `null`.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Implementation
`public function get data():Object`
`public function set data(value:Object):void`

down | property |

`down:Boolean`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 2.5

The grid control's `updateDisplayList()` method sets this property before calling `prepare()`.

This property is set to `true` when one of two input gestures occurs within a grid cell: either the mouse button or the touch screen is pressed. The `down` property is reset to `false` when the mouse button goes up, the user lifts off the touch screen, or the mouse/touch is dragged out of the grid cell.

Unlike a List item renderer, grid item renderers do not have exclusive responsibility for displaying the down indicator. The Grid itself renders the down indicator for the selected row or cell. The item renderer can also change its visual properties to emphasize that it's being pressed.

The default value is `false`.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Implementation
`public function get down():Boolean`
`public function set down(value:Boolean):void`

dragging | property |

`dragging:Boolean`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 2.5

Contains `true` if the item renderer is being dragged, typically as part of a drag and drop operation. Currently, drag and drop is not supported by the Spark DataGrid control.

The default value is `false`.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Implementation
`public function get dragging():Boolean`
`public function set dragging(value:Boolean):void`

grid | property |

`grid:Grid` [read-only]

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 2.0

The grid control associated with this item renderer.

Implementation
`public function get grid():Grid`

hovered | property |

`hovered:Boolean`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 2.0

Set to `true` when the mouse is hovered over the item renderer.

The default value is `false`.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Implementation
`public function get hovered():Boolean`
`public function set hovered(value:Boolean):void`

label | property |

`label:String`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 2.0

The grid control sets this property to the value of the column's `itemToLabel()` method, before calling `preprare()`.

The String to display in the item renderer.

The GridItemRenderer class automatically copies the value of this property to the `text` property of its `labelDisplay` element, if that element was specified. The Grid sets the `label` to the value returned by the column's `itemToLabel()` method.

The default value is `""`.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Implementation
`public function get label():String`
`public function set label(value:String):void`

rowIndex | property |

`rowIndex:int`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 2.0

The grid control's `updateDisplayList()` method sets this property before calling `prepare()`.

The zero-based index of the row of the cell being rendered.

The default value is `-1`.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Implementation
`public function get rowIndex():int`
`public function set rowIndex(value:int):void`

selected | property |

`selected:Boolean`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 2.0

The grid control's `updateDisplayList()` method sets this property before calling `prepare()`.

Contains `true` if the item renderer's cell is part of the current selection.

Unlike a List item renderer, grid item renderers do not have exclusive responsibility for displaying something to indicate that they're part of the selection. The Grid itself automatically displays the selectionIndicator skin part for the selected rows or cells. The item renderer can also change its visual properties to emphasize that it's part of the selection.

The default value is `false`.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Implementation
`public function get selected():Boolean`
`public function set selected(value:Boolean):void`

showsCaret | property |

`showsCaret:Boolean`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 2.0

The grid control's `updateDisplayList()` method sets this property before calling `preprare()`.

Contains `true` if the item renderer's cell is indicated by the caret.

Unlike a List item renderer, grid item renderers do not have exclusive responsibility for displaying something to indicate their cell or row has the caret. The Grid itself automatically displays the caretIndicator skin part for the caret row or cell. The item renderer can also change its visual properties to emphasize that it has the caret.

The default value is `false`.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Implementation
`public function get showsCaret():Boolean`
`public function set showsCaret(value:Boolean):void`
Constructor Detail

UITextFieldGridItemRenderer | () | Constructor

`public function UITextFieldGridItemRenderer()`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 2.0

Constructor.

Method Detail

discard | () | method

`public function discard(hasBeenRecycled:Boolean):void`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 2.5

Called from the item renderer parent's `updateDisplayList()` method when it has been determined that this renderer will no longer be visible. If the `willBeRecycled` parameter is `true`, then the owner adds this renderer to its internal free list for reuse. Implementations can use this method to clear any renderer properties that are no longer needed.

This method is not intended to be called directly. It is called by the DataGrid implementation.

Parameters

| `hasBeenRecycled:Boolean` — `true` if this renderer is going to be added to the owner's internal free list for reuse.

prepare | () | method |

`public function prepare(willBeRecycled:Boolean):void`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 2.5

Called from the item renderer parent's `updateDisplayList()` method after all of the renderer's properties have been set. The `hasBeenRecycled` parameter is `false` if this renderer has not been used before, meaning it was not recycled. This method is called when a renderer is about to become visible and each time it's redisplayed because of a change in a renderer property, or because a redisplay was explicitly requested.

This method can be used to configure all of a renderer's visual elements and properties. Using this method can be more efficient than binding `data` properties to visual element properties. Note: Because the `prepare()` method is called frequently, make sure that it is coded efficiently.

The `prepare()` method may be called many times before the `discard()` method is called.

This method is not intended to be called directly. It is called by the DataGrid implementation.

Parameters

| `willBeRecycled:Boolean` — `true` if this renderer is being reused.

Event Detail

dataChange | Event

Event Object Type: `mx.events.FlexEvent`
FlexEvent.type property = `mx.events.FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 2.0

Dispatched when the bindable `data` property changes.

The `FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE` constant defines the value of the `type` property of the event object for a `dataChange` event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property | Value
--- | ---
`bubbles` | false
`cancelable` | false
`currentTarget` | The Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use `myButton.addEventListener()` to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the `currentTarget`.
`target` | The Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the `currentTarget` property to always access the Object listening for the event.
