How does one change the look of the column header of a data grid? For example, the colors of the background gradient (the property inspector only allows changing it to a flat color with no gradients), specifying a background image instead, and so on?

Hi Ocean,

For changing the header color of a datagrid, it exists two datagrid properties:
- one for the header background: header background color
- one for the header background when the column header is hilited: header background hilite color

Usage:
Where MyDatagrid is the name of the datagrid
pColor is a single a color, two colors for defining a gradient (one color by line) or an array for a more complex gradient.

Have a look to the datagrid properties here:

Please, note the existence of the Data Grid Helper plugin, a product we created for editing properties of a datagrid in a few clicks. For this two properties, DGH allows the definition of a gradient color by using a convenient interface.

A free DGH version is available in the LiveCode market place:

Best,

I've downloaded DGH and it's awesome! So much help!

One question: is there a way to have 2 lines in the header on some columns?
