Combobox Sort question

[Winla]

As you know, sort property for Combobox is ready only and sorted in Ascending order. For my dynamically filled combobox(not sorted), if I want a descending order list, what Can I do?
May I use API sendmessage call? I just visited web site "VB API" listed on your left screen but found nothing specially helpful. Any suggestion? In a situation like this, any internet resource I can use to find the answer by myself? You see, I am asking more than just answer here. Thanks

I don't think there's an API call that deals specifically with sorting a combo or listbox in descending order. However, you can develope a code yourself. Note: If you want to add a large amount of items and sort them, it make take some time to sort out, but if you want to have a combo/listbox that is never changed to be sorted, then sort it by hand. If you want to be able to add items one at a time, a code to place this item in the right place shouldn't take to long.

Your code could be something like this for adding one item to the correct ascending order at a time (I think):

Dim i as Single, j as Single

For i = 0 to List1.Listcount - 1
  For j = 1 to Len(Text1)
    If Left(Text1, j) = Left(List1.List(i), j) Then
      If Left(Text1, j + 1) <> Left(List1.List(i), j + 1) Then 
        List1.AddItem Text1, i + 1
        Exit Sub
      End If
    Else
      Exit For
    End If
  Next
Next
