                <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="labelText" headerText="" visible="{!readOnly}" width="100">

                    var linkRenderer:LinkRendererWithEvent = event.target as LinkRendererWithEvent;
                    if (linkRenderer.linkBut.label == "Add")
                    {

                    }
