I really like this simple example of adding icons to an Accordion.
Very helpful!
Would you know how to change the behavior of an Accordion?
I am trying to figure out a way to customize an Accordion so that the VBoxes inside will remain open unless I click a triangle icon that I place on the VBox.
Perhaps an Accordian is not what I really want to use, but so far, it seems like an Accordion has everything I want, except that it only allows one page, or VBox, to be open at a time.
Do you have any ideas on how to override the behavior of an Accordion so that it only opens and closes each section when I call that event? (Also, what event would I call?)
Thanks in advanced!

If I want to add icon into rows of AdvancedDataGrid, then what I must do? Can you instruct me. Thanks much.

hei
i am in the situation in which i want to add an icon that is a preview of what happen in the content of accordion tab.
so i need to add something more that a class name, i want to have control to instance for add listeners and treat it like a view, in the same way i treat content of accordion.
how can i do??
is it possible to add clickable icon/button to the right of accordion’s each header?
visibility of those icon/button is depend on accordion child’s content selection.
if this is possible…how can i implement?
