Ok,

This is great. Unfortunatly there is no documentation. Normaly you can set Icons only in the first column. In combination with custom symbols, http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/6175 and http://lavag.org/files/file/31-type-sensitive-popup/ there are much possibilyties for MCLs.

Is this control designed by you? How have you done this? When I use it, can I be sure that it will run under the next LabVIEW Versions? Is it also possible to change the alignment (center instead of left) of the symbols?

Hello,

Maybe someone else can explain me how this can be done?
The column and row header cell from this example MCL do not have the right background color for a system Control (the same white like the normal cells). And it can not be changed.

Any suggestions?

Hello,

At http://lavag.org/topic/7002-multiple-glyphs-columns/page-2 is an Version of this Control, where you can set the Color of the Row and Column Headers. I added it as MCL SystemStyle with Items for every Column Version 2.ctl

in LavVIEW 12.

Why can't I find this control in the default palette? Is it still under development?
