first column of multicolumn listbox

[njacacia]

Is there something special about the first column of a multicolumn listbox?

When I select it the background turns a dark blue.

Also, without creating a property node how do I change the highlight color?

I have a multicolumn listbox in an inherited VI, and the highlight color is a orange-yellow.

Yet when I create a new VI and a new multicolumn listbox the highlight color is the dark blue.

MCL from modern and classic palette will highlight dark blue, sky blue with MCL from classic palette and orange/yellow for MCL from the silver controls palette.

You need a property node to change the color.

What is the purpose of the highlighting of the cell in the first column when the highlight entire row is off.
