WIndowshade HeaderRenderer

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a Windowshade with a canvasbutton as its headerRenderer
2. Try to pass data to the header renderer. There is no headerText or data 
property
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
User should be able to pass data to header renderer through the data 
property. 
Not able to pass data to header renderer

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
flex-lib 1.1, on windows xp

Please provide any additional information below.

I am trying to create a re-usable windowshade with a canvas button as its 
headerRenderer. Is it possible to pass data to canvas button as if we do 
for itemrenderers and header renderers in list based controls, using the 
data property.

Hi shameersalim,

I think I know what you are talking about.

In order to pass data to the components in the header renderer you need to do 
this:

1. <flexlibContainer:WindowShade  data="My data">  --> you set the data on the 
window
shade level.

2. You access it in the renderer like this:
 <flexlibContainer:headerRenderer>
    <mx:Component>
       <flexlibControl:CanvasButton label="{WindowShade(parent).data}"

I hope this solve your problem,

Cheers,

Viktor Stevich

Hello, I was wondering if the solution proposed above works...It does not 
appear to work for me. Well, I am getting a warning

warning: unable to bind to property 'parent' on class 
'com.blah.view.browse.skin::FileNameInnerClass0'

where I am referencing the data value {WindowShade(parent).data}

from the parent WindowShade tag

    <flexlib:WindowShade id="browseButton"
                         opened="true"
                         paddingTop="0"
                         headerLocation="bottom"
                         openEnd="mainBrowser.visible=false; browseButton.height = this.height;MainBrowseAreaDrawerSkin.icon = MainBrowseAreaDrawerSkin.addIcon"
                         closeEnd="mainBrowser.visible=true; MainBrowseAreaDrawerSkin.icon = MainBrowseAreaDrawerSkin.closeIcon"
                         width="100%"
                         height="100%"
                         chromeColor="#83389b"
                         openDuration="1000"
                         data="{hostComponent.mySeriesLength}">

should WindowShade(parent) be parentDocument (Flex 4)?

thanks

Edward
