Using the QNX list but trying to add my own CellRenderer. 

When I override the Draw method on the cell renderer it works fine except for 2 problems.

1.  The left side of the list item. Maybe the first 20 - 50 pixels or so is a solid white bar.  I can't seem to get rid of this at all.

2.  When I select the list item that solid white bar gets covered by the default selected look (gradient blue). But the remaining portion of the cell is not selected( I guess I can override the draw call to see if the item is selected).

I guess I am asking.  How do I get rid of the default white on the cell item & how do I customize the selected state of  the CellRenderer.

Thanks.

Can you post the code for your renderer.  It will be easier to answer your question.

[mrpinc]

public class CustomCellRenderer extends CellRenderer
{
    override protected function draw():void
    {
    }
}

That's it!

Just make sure you application background or the parent of the list is something other than white otherwise you won't be able to see what I am talking about.

Try adding super.draw() inside your draw so the parent has a chance to draw first?

Also, I typically override drawLabel() to set and position new elements.

I'd also have a look at this:

http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/airapi/1.0.0/qnx/ui/listClasses/CellRenderer.html

About halfway down it shows an example if how you can define each state. I believe the example is for a button but it should give you an idea.

Thanks for the help.

Calling super.draw() will actually overwrite anything I do in my overwritten Draw call - even if I do the work after super.draw().

Also the example you sent indicates how to set the text formating for different states.  I want to change to formatting for the entire CellRendere based on state.  I believe I can do t his in the draw() method by just checking the state, but not if the call is not behaving properly.

Also in my example I am overriding drawLabel(), this seems to be working fine.
