[UI] How to display symbol in multicolumn's header ?

Hello,

 

I've modded my UI to switch from a Table to a Multicolumn 'system'

widget in order to gain some other features and methods :

Yet there is a problem...

 

I wantedto show a symbol in the columns' header to display the sort

order selected. I wrote a little algo that works quite well and expected

to display an arrow in the header :

I found this but it doesn't help like I expected :

Any info about how to do this ?

Hi David,

 

ItemSymbols apply to table items or "objects". You can have symbols in the table content, but not for the header line…

 

What is a "widget"?

Best regards,

@GerdW : OK, another limitation... I modified my algo this way :

Hence I just add '<' or '>' after the column's name to indicate the sorting order.

 

Widget : graphic command of a value (tab, edit, button, radio, ...)
