allow for icons in cells(from make a DLL) on 9/23/2009 3:09:33 AM(repost)

please see the attached video (the right codec is available at [login to view URL]). I need the effect of adding multiple icons (together with their ID and text description) to a cell of a grid of type TProfGrid. my icons will be of type TMyIcons=class(TComponent) begin icon:TIcon; ID:string; // guid text:string; end; A TProfGrid has built-in code to store one icon inside a cell. I suggest that you forget this code. Also please don't use fields CustomData and CellObject as their are used for other scopes in the current application. A cell should be able to store multiple icons. Let's call the set of icons (at left) and text (following at right) a multimedial cell containt (MCC). The MCC should behave exactly as it were text only. For instance, the MCC will be aligned (left/right/center) according to property HorizontalAlignment, and it will be wrapped according to property WordWrap (and other settings). A cell can store multiple icons. An icon can be dragged from cell A into cell B or to/from a remote component. Method function [login to view URL](acol,arow:integer;IconId:string):boolean; will tell if a given icon is in cell X. Method function [login to view URL](var acol,arow:integer; var IconId:string):boolean; will tell which icon of which cell is currently under the mouse Method function [login to view URL](IconId:string):string; will return the text linked to a given icon.
