Using Item Renderers and Item Editors

You can customize the appearance and behavior of cells in list-based data provider controls that you can use in Adobe Flex applications, including the DataGrid, HorizontalList, List, Menu, MenuBar, TileList, and Tree controls. To control the appearance of cells in list controls, you create custom item renderers and item editors.

This topic introduces item renderers and item editors, and describes the different ways that you can create them in your Flex applications. The next topic, Working with Item Editors, contains additional information for creating more advanced item editors.
