GridItem containers have the following default sizing characteristics:
| Characteristic | Description |
|---|---|
| Height of each row and each cell | The default or explicit height of the tallest item in the row. If a GridItem container does not have an explicit size, its default height is the default or explicit height of the child in the cell. |
| Width of each column and each cell | The default or explicit width of the widest item in the column. If a GridItem container doed not have an explicit width, its default width is the default or explicit width of the child in the cell. |
| Gap between rows and columns | Determined by the horizontalGap and verticalGap properties of the Grid class. The default value for both gaps is 6 pixels. |
| Default padding | 0 pixels for the top, bottom, left, and right values, for all three container classes. |
Hide MXML SyntaxThe <mx:GridItem> tag must be a child of the
<GridRow> tag, which defines a grid row.
The <mx:GridItem> container inherits the
tag attributes of its superclass, and adds the following tag attributes.
