MSHFLEXGIRD Sort

hihi..

i have this exmaple code coded on this forum , and it work very well for flexgrid. but when i start to used it on MSHFLEXGRID it become malfunction. What is the problem on this code. when i click on the header, everthing started to sort. it turn out very messy. When i set the properties header, i was thrown with error for the "out of range" msg. Sorry for the lengthly code.

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
 With presentation_search.presentationCollection_grid
    .TextMatrix(0, 1) = "Presentation ID"
    .TextMatrix(0, 2) = "Presentation Name"
    .TextMatrix(0, 3) = "Presentation Type"
end with
end sub
 
Private Sub presentationCollection_grid_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
 
  ' If this is not row 0, do nothing.
    If presentationCollection_grid.MouseRow <> 0 Then
    Exit Sub
    End If
    ' Sort by the clicked column.
    SortByColumn presentationCollection_grid.MouseCol
End Sub
' Sort by the indicated column.
Private Sub SortByColumn(ByVal sort_column As Integer)
    presentationCollection_grid.Visible = False
    presentationCollection_grid.Refresh
    ' Sort using the clicked column.
    presentationCollection_grid.Col = sort_column
    presentationCollection_grid.ColSel = sort_column
    presentationCollection_grid.Row = 0
    presentationCollection_grid.RowSel = 0
    ' If this is a new sort column, sort ascending.
    ' Otherwise switch which sort order we use.
    If m_SortColumn <> sort_column Then
        m_SortOrder = flexSortGenericAscending
    ElseIf m_SortOrder = flexSortGenericAscending Then
        m_SortOrder = flexSortGenericDescending
    Else
        m_SortOrder = flexSortGenericAscending
    End If
    presentationCollection_grid.Sort = m_SortOrder
    ' Restore the previous sort column's name.
    If m_SortColumn >= 0 Then
        presentationCollection_grid.TextMatrix(0, m_SortColumn) = Mid$(presentationCollection_grid.TextMatrix(0, m_SortColumn), 3)
    End If
    ' Display the new sort column's name.
    m_SortColumn = sort_column
    If m_SortOrder = flexSortGenericAscending Then
        presentationCollection_grid.TextMatrix(0, m_SortColumn) = "> " & presentationCollection_grid.TextMatrix(0, m_SortColumn)
    Else
        presentationCollection_grid.TextMatrix(0, m_SortColumn) = "< " & presentationCollection_grid.TextMatrix(0, m_SortColumn)
    End If
 
    Debug.Print sort_column; presentationCollection_grid.Col; m_SortColumn '@
    ' Display the FlexGrid.
    presentationCollection_grid.Visible = True
End Sub

i only check the ColumnHeader at the properties checkbox. when i click on the row index 0, the grid began to sort but in a messy manner. it amy not be in the same row. it seem that i need to set the header or to do a fix row. but how to set the header? or how should i edit the code to make it function:?

Will you try this?

VB Code:

Private Sub MSHFlexGrid1_DblClick()
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' code in grid's DblClick event enables column sorting
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
    Dim i As Integer
 
    ' sort only when a fixed row is clicked
    If MSHFlexGrid1.MouseRow >= MSHFlexGrid1.FixedRows Then Exit Sub
 
    i = m_iSortCol                  ' save old column
    m_iSortCol = MSHFlexGrid1.Col   ' set new column
 
    ' increment sort type
    If i <> m_iSortCol Then
        ' if clicking on a new column, start with ascending sort
        m_iSortType = 1
    Else
        ' if clicking on the same column, toggle between ascending and descending sort
        m_iSortType = m_iSortType + 1
    If m_iSortType = 3 Then m_iSortType = 1
    End If
 
    DoColumnSort
 
End Sub
 
Sub DoColumnSort()
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' does Exchange-type sort on column m_iSortCol
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
    With MSHFlexGrid1
        .Redraw = False
        .Row = 1
        .RowSel = .Rows - 1
        .Col = m_iSortCol
        .Sort = m_iSortType
        .Redraw = True
    End With
 
End Sub

hi,
i want to sort the same values in a flexgrid... how do i do that?(e.g sort by:company)

Use the code above, but change the gridname MSHFlexGrid1 to your Flexgrids name. If you only want to sort on one column, you will have to set the mousecol in the click event, instead of allowing any column to be sorted.

Also, you have to declare the M_ variables. You can use Integer type.

hihi,

how can i fix a row?when i click on the header, it does not do anything.

i set my header like this-->

VB Code:

With MSHFlexGrid1.
    .TextMatrix(0, 1) = "Artifact 1"
    .TextMatrix(0, 2) = "Artifact 2"
    .TextMatrix(0, 3) = "Artifact 3"
    .TextMatrix(0, 4) = "Artifact 4"
    .TextMatrix(0, 5) = "Artifact 5"
    .TextMatrix(0, 6) = "Artifact 6"
    End With

am i on the right track? i did not set anyproperties to the gird. i use the defult setting of MSHFLEXGRID.

Here's my work in progress of the new sort option:

Have you tried the code in post #4?

I've incorporated it into post #8. :)
