Accessing DataGridPresentationModel from DataGridButtonBarButtonItemRenderer seems quite tough even though it could be a nice place to store those information.
To get DataGridPresentationModel I'll need to access their multiple parents as DataGridButtonBarButtonItemRenderer.parent.parent.parent which sounds bad. _strand is also private in components and some do not have them at all; thus _strand.getBeadByType() is not always an available feature as well. I'm sticking to my earlier implementation for the time being until I get a way to access DataGridPresentationModel in DataGridButtonBarButtonItemRenderer without referring multiple parent keywords. -- View this message in context: http://apache-flex-development.2333347.n4.nabble.com/FlexJS-Probable-design-to-support-DataGrid-sorting-tp57925p57938.html Sent from the Apache Flex Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
