Question

I have a custom skin applied to a Flex 4 spark datagrid. One really annoying issue I am having is finding the ability to override or change the selected row border color. I was able to set the selectionColor just fine but the border is still the default light blue color. I need it to be yellow.

Anyone know where I can find this style or override this border that is being set when selection happens within the skin itself.

thanks,

I believe it’s the caretColor style. If not, you can do this:

Create a skin file for the spark datagrid based on spark.skins.spark.DataGridSkin
Now yous hould have a copy of the DataGrid skin, change the following code,

 <s:stroke>
    <!--- @private -->
    <s:SolidColorStroke id="caretIndicatorFill" color="0x0167FF" weight="1"/>
 </s:stroke>

Change 0x0167FF to the desired color..
