Item Renderer

list controls have default mechanism for controlling the display of data, or view. You can override that default behavior by creating a custom item renderer.You can also use custom component as an item renderer.

Note: The default layout, BasicLayout renderer doesn't respect the transformations that occur in the object's width/height/position during rotation. It still tries to layout the objects as if they were not rotated. However, if you use any other layout, like VerticalLayout or HorizontalLayout, the objects new dimensions after rotation is used.
