CellRenderer API
The CellRenderer API is a set of properties and methods that the list-based components (List,
DataGrid, Tree, Menu, and ComboBox) use to manipulate and display custom cell content
for each of their rows. This customized cell can contain a prebuilt component, such as a
CheckBox component, or any class you create.
Understanding the List class
To use the CellRenderer API, you need an advanced understanding of the List class. The
DataGrid, Tree, Menu, and ComboBox components are extensions of the List class, so
understanding the List class lets you understand them as well.
