DataGrid and Validation?

Question

I'm having a hard time putting a CurrencyValidator inside of
a DataGrid. The breakpoints would indicate that the data binds
properly, but I get an unfortunately XML mess with big scrollbars
in the datagrid instead of what I'd expect.
Here's the GenericDollarFormatItemRenderer.mxml that
intuition built:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:HBox xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
public var dataField:String;
[Bindable]
private var dataString:String;
public function newInstance():*
return new GenericDollarFormatItemRenderer();
override public function set data(value:Object):void {
if( value != null ){
super.data = value;
if( !(value is DataGridColumn) && dataField != null
&& value[dataField] != null ){
dataString = value[dataField];
obj:Object;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:CurrencyValidator id="pnV" source="{ti}"
property="text"
trigger="{ti}" triggerEvent="change" required="true" />
<mx:TextInput id="ti" text="{dataString}"
updateComplete="dataString=ti.text;"
change="dataString=ti.text;"/>
</mx:HBox>
I'm adding it to my DataGrid as follows:
[Bindable] private var cf1:ClassFactory = new ClassFactory(
GenericDollarFormatItemRenderer );
cf1.properties = { dataField: 'price' };
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="price" textAlign="right"
editable="true" itemRenderer="{cf1}" />
The data source for the data grid is e4x XML drawn from an
HTTPService.
Any experts out there can elucidate this one? If I'm on the
completely wrong track, let me know! This is a needed to be done
yesterday type of thing :)
Thanks
Alex
