Description Dejan Glozic CLA 2001-10-11 14:17:37 EDT
At the moment, only text can be set to the table column headers. Additional 
decoration is needed for the following cases:

1) When table column is used to display icons, it is narrow (normally about 19 
pixels to host 16 pixel icon). Consequently,
it would be more appropriate to use icon for the column header as well, since 
there is no space for text.

2) Column header that show text may need additional iconic decoration to 
indicate that the table is currently
sorted on that column, as well as the sorting order (ascending vs. descending). 
Normally, this is achieved
with an icon that is some variation of down arrow (normal sort) or up arrow 
(reverse sort). Again,
Microsoft Outlook and many other applications use this capability.

		DCR. Possible reason for custom widget. (check if platform 
supports icons in headers).

	McQ (27/02/2001 10:27:33 AM) -
		Also FLAT style for column headers.

		List view controls can display images next to column titles. To 
implement this feature, 
		specify the LVCF_IMAGE value and assign the index of the image 
to the iImage member in the LVCOLUMN structure.

		We will not get to this for release R0.9

Steve, there is also a mention of the 'FLAT' style support for tables (which 
really means 'column headers without a 3D border'). Is that support in this 
driver too?
