Remove Spark List selection background [Flex 4]

26 February 2010 • 3 Comments • Flex 4

Using a custom Item Renderer for the Spark List you will still see the default selection and hover color in background, even if your component doesn’t have a background (I noticed that using a rounded rect)! Well, to avoid that just set the autoDrawBackground property to flase in your Item Renderer as shown:

<s:ItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" 
				xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" 
				xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo"
				height="100%" width="100%" 
                                autoDrawBackground="false">
