Setting style for DatagridColumn?

Question

My dataGrid has a style set for it in the CSS stylesheet. How
can I change the style for one of the columns please?

Answer 1

If your DataGridColumn has an id set for it, you can use the
setStyle() method to set individual styles.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- dragdrop\SimpleDGToDG.mxml -->
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="

creationComplete="initApp();">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function initApp():void {
greg.setStyle("backgroundColor","#ff00ff");
srcgrid.dataProvider = [
{Artist:'Carole King', Album:'Tapestry', Price:11.99},
{Artist:'Paul Simon', Album:'Graceland', Price:10.99},
{Artist:'Original Cast', Album:'Camelot', Price:12.99},
{Artist:'The Beatles', Album:'The White Album', Price:11.99}

<mx:DataGrid id="srcgrid">

<mx:DataGridColumn id="greg" dataField="Artist"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="Album"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="Price"/>
