method

public static function itemToLabel(item:Object, labelField:String = null, labelFunction:Function = null):String

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

A function used by components that support item renderers to determine the correct text an item renderer should display for a data item. If no labelField or labelFunction parameter is specified, the toString() method of the data item is called to return a String representation of the data item.

The labelFunction property takes a reference to a function. The function takes a single argument which is the item in the data provider and returns a String:

      myLabelFunction(item:Object):String

Parameters

	`item:Object` — The data item. Null items return the empty string.

	`labelField:String` (default = `null`) — The field in the data item to return. If labelField is set to an empty string (""), no field will be considered on the data item to represent label.

	`labelFunction:Function` (default = `null`) — A function that takes the data item as a single parameter and returns a String.

Returns

String — A String representation for the data item
