Hi,

I would like to create a GUI element which basically looks
like a table, but instead of text I would like to insert
icons.
To make things even a little more intresting I'd like to
allow the user to change the column order by dragging the
columns.

What is the best starting point for such an element? Can I
start from or even use an existing control for this?

Thanks for helping me on this

Tom
 
Tom,

You could use the DataGrid as a starting point for this. If you go this
route, you would have to derive a class from the DataGridColumnStyle class
in order to get the icons to show.

Handling the dragging of columns would require a bunch of custom code as
well.

I am sure there is a third party control that will allow you to do this
out there. I personally like the grid control from Xceed, and it definitely
supports the functionality you are looking for.

Hope this helps.
