*** RESOLVED *** How to sort a Listbox/Combobox?

[Franky]

Hi,

... I checked all threads for "sort Listbox" before i posted this here.


I need to sort the data in a Listbox.

BUT .... the data are not from a database.

How to do it in a simple way?

(Please don't tell me ListBox1.Sorted = True ... it doesn't work, I tried it. It is a readonly parameter at runtime and when I set it to true in the parameterbox of the Listbox then it is still not sorted.)

Nice greetings
Franky

Are the values strings or numbers? Also the Sorted property DOES work, however if you are displaying numbers, you may get results such as :

1
10
11
2
23
24
5

instead of

1
2
5
10
11
23
24

.

First i have to say that I had a good laugh about this:

I am not a complete idiot. Some parts are still missing

... it is really funny!!!


Ok, to your .Sorted = true

If it works it would be nice. Tell me please EXACTLY where to set it?

nice greetings

Its an option in the properties window

[andreys]

In design time, right click on ListBox select 'Properties. Set 'Sorted' property to 'true'

[Franky]

This was the first what I did before I posted this thread here.

Click in the properties Sorted = True

No sorting ..... sniff

And now I found it, hehe.

It works. I just didn't see that the former programmer of this here used instead of .AddItem .List to fill the data

Thanks
