applying paddingRight to flex grid column not to grid header

Whenever I add paddingRight to a column in the flex grid, it adds the padding to the header as well. Is anyone familiar with how I can add paddingRight just to the column and not to the header? Below is the column code where I was specifying the padding.

<mx:DataGridColumn width="60" headerText="Type" dataField="Grade" headerStyleName="headerLeft" textAlign="left"  draggable="false" resizable="false" headerRenderer="GridHeaderRenderer" paddingRight="5"/>
Solution

  • Set the paddingRight on the column, then for the header, override the header's paddingRight in the headerStyleName. (note this won't work for paddingTop or paddingBottom)
