Many people are having problem to display dataTip on a Datagrid only if the text is truncated. The best solution I found to use Label as an itemRenderer. we also need to set truncateToFit property of an Label to true.

Following example explains how to use itemRenderer in a dataGrid, it also explains how to show datatip only if the text is truncated.

we could have one extended Label class LabelRenderer
———————————————–
//LebelRenderer..
package com.subrat
{
  import mx.controls.Label;
  public class LabelRenderer extends Label
  {
    public function LabelRenderer()
     {
      super();
     this.truncateToFit=true;
     }
  }

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>

<mx:VBox xmlns:mx=”http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml” width=”400” height=”300“><mx:XML id=”itemsXML“>
<items>
<item name=”Item 1″ description=”dummy description for Item 1″ />
<item name=”Item 2″ description=”dummy description for Item 2″ />
<item name=”Item 3″ description=”dummy description for Item 3″ />
<item name=”Item 4″ description=”dummy description for Item 4″ />
</items>
</mx:XML>
<mx:DataGrid dataProvider=”{itemsXML.item}“><mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField=”@name” headerText=”Name“/>
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField=”@description” headerText=”Description” itemRenderer=”com.subrat.LabelRenderer“/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
