ListBaseContentHolder

Package	mx.controls.listClasses
Class	public class ListBaseContentHolder
Inheritance	ListBaseContentHolder UIComponent FlexSprite Sprite DisplayObjectContainer InteractiveObject DisplayObject EventDispatcher Object
Subclasses	DataGridLockedRowContentHolder

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The ListBaseContentHolder class defines a container in a list-based control of all of the control's item renderers and item editors. Flex uses it to mask areas of the renderers that extend outside of the control, and to block certain styles, such as backgroundColor, from propagating to the renderers so that highlights and alternating row colors can show through the control.
