Implementing Icons on Grids

Use these steps to display grid data as icons:

1. Identify data values or ranges of values that you want to represent as icons, and then decide which icons to use to represent them. Ensure that all required images for all icons are in the designated location.

2. Create the icon-setting (client-only) NER to define the value-to-icon relationships:

   1. Define a data structure that enables enough information to be passed to the NER to make all icon-setting decisions.

   2. Use ER to define all necessary data value conditions.

   3. Provide at least one call to the Set Grid Cell Icon system function. Each call to this system function enables you to select the icon's base (normal) image using the Image Picker and then to optionally set icon-specific tooltip text to apply under that specific data

3. Associate the NER function that sets the icon with the grid columns:

   1. From the Column Properties dialog, set Display Style to Icon.

      Update the ER for the Grid Cell Display Changed event by adding a call to the NER function that sets the icon.

   2. Optionally, to make an icon clickable, select Clickable, and then update the ER for the Grid Column Clicked event
