A function called that is expected to return a new cell renderer.

The function is expected to have the following signature:

function():IDataGridCellRenderer

The following example provides a factory for the cell renderer:

    column.cellRendererFactory = function():IDataGridCellRenderer
    {
        var cellRenderer:CustomCellRendererClass = new CustomCellRendererClass();
        cellRenderer.backgroundSkin = new Quad( 10, 10, 0xff0000 );
        return cellRenderer;
    };

The default value is null.

A style name to add to all cell renderers in this column. Typically used by a theme to provide different skins to different columns.

The following example sets the cell renderer style name:

    column.customCellRendererStyleName = "my-custom-cell-renderer";

In your theme, you can target this sub-component name to provide different skins than the default style:

    getStyleProviderForClass( DefaultDataGridCellRenderer ).setFunctionForStyleName( "my-custom-cell-renderer", setCustomCellRendererStyles );

The default value is null.

A style name to add to all header renderers in this column. Typically used by a theme to provide different skins to different columns.

The following example sets the header renderer name:

    column.customHeaderRendererStyleName = "my-custom-header-renderer";

In your theme, you can target this sub-component name to provide different skins than the default style:

    getStyleProviderForClass( DefaultDataGridHeaderRenderer ).setFunctionForStyleName( "my-custom-header-renderer", setCustomHeaderRendererStyles );

The default value is null.

The field in the item that contains the data to be displayed by the cell renderers in this column. If the item does not have this field, then the renderer may default to calling toString() on the item.

In the following example, the data field is customized:

    column.dataField = "name";

The default value is null.

A function called that is expected to return a new header renderer.

The function is expected to have the following signature:

function():IDataGridHeaderRenderer

The following example provides a factory for the header renderer:

    column.headerRendererFactory = function():IDataGridHeaderRenderer
    {
        var headerRenderer:CustomHeaderRendererClass = new CustomHeaderRendererClass();
        headerRenderer.backgroundSkin = new Quad( 10, 10, 0xff0000 );
        return headerRenderer;
    };

The default value is null.

See also

The text to display in the column's header.

In the following example, the header text is customized:

    column.headerText = "Customer Name";

The default value is null.

The minimum width of the column, in pixels.

The following example sets the column minimum width:

    column.minWidth = 200;

The default value is 10.

Indicates if the column may be resized by dragging from its right edge.

If the resizableColumns property of the DataGrid is false, it takes precendence over this property, and the column will not be resizable.

The following example disables resizing:

    column.resizable = false;

The default value is true.

See also

A function to compare each item in the collection to determine the order when sorted.

The function is expected to have the following signature:

function( a:Object, b:Object ):int

The return value should be -1 if the first item should appear before the second item when the collection is sorted. The return value should be 1 if the first item should appear after the second item when the collection in sorted. Finally, the return value should be 0 if both items have the same sort order.

The default value is null.

See also

Indicates if the column may be sorted by triggering the header renderer, and which direction it should be sorted by default (ascending or descending).

Setting this property will not start a sort. It only provides the initial order of the sort when triggered by the user.

If the sortableColumns property of the DataGrid is false, it takes precendence over this property, and the column will not be sortable.

The following example disables sorting:

    column.sortOrder = SortOrder.NONE;

The default value is feathers.data.SortOrder.ASCENDING.

See also

The width of the column, in pixels. If the width is set to NaN, the column will be sized automatically by the data grid's layout.

The following example sets the column width:

    column.width = 200;

The default value is NaN.

Constructor.

Dispatched when a property of the column changes.

The properties of the event object have the following values:
