[RESOLVED] Target specific combobox item

[jweeks123]

How would you go about targetting a specific combobox item selected. Like say I click on the 3rd item in the dropdown list and then I want to take that item and change it's text format and make it unselectable but keep everything else normal.

Any way of doing this?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

You use this class:
http://flashscript.biz/flashas3/datagrid_list/cellrenderer_2.html
In the drawbackground function you change the textformat and add the line:
enabled=false;
Then when you instantiate the combobox you add this line:
myCombo.dropdown.setStyle ("cellRenderer",MyCellRenderer);

dropdown is the List component for the combobox.

Thanks. I appreciate the info.

I also found this just before I got this reply if anyone else is interested.

Keep in mind this was in a loop referencing comboboxes in a "holderMC" All instance names were stored in an array called cArray.

Hope this helps as well as cancerinforms post.

Thanks again.


//Cell Renderer
var cr:CellRenderer =this.holderMC[cArray[i]].dropdown.itemToCellRenderer(this.holderMC[cArray[i]].dropdown.selectedItem) as CellRenderer;
var listData:ListData = cr.listData;

cr.enabled = false;
trace("You have selected row: " + listData.row);
this.holderMC[cArray[i]].drawNow();
//end Cell Renderer

Also when doing this, you would be better off using the script from cancerinforms post earlier, and setting a style for each combobox cellrenderer your using.
