Yep, this does work. Thanks.

Well I'll just use it for now, perhaps someone else comes up
with another idea. Thanks for your effort.

There pops up another question: I've inserted a constant for
your_column so far, but this of course may be variable since
the user can change the order of the columns in the grid.
In my example, the user can take a column with some text in it,
drag it to the position where the icon was first, and the icon
will be drawn over the text.
Is there an event I can jump in to recognize the change of column
ordering?
