Currently the rendererDescriptionMap is private in AdvancedDataGrid and is assigned in setupRenderer(), getWidthOfItem() and getRenderer() methods.
private rendererDescriptionMap:Dictionary = null; public function AdvancedDataGrid() { rendererDescriptionMap = new Dictionary(); ...... } If this property is protected, it becomes easy to extend the AdvancedDataGrid and allow renderers to merge columns and rows conditionally for specific columns and rows using renderer providers.
