List Control column Sort Problem

[BiswaR]

Hello Guys, I have list control on a dialog box. When i click a header(column name) of the list control it should be sorted(ascending or descending) autimatically. Is there any property to set this or i need to write this sorting logic itself ? Please reply soon if you guys know this it's urgent. Thanks! -- modified at 4:06 Tuesday 11th April, 2006

Hi BiswaR, Im't not sure but maybe it is some helpful to you http://www.codeproject.com/listctrl/ReportControl.asp[^]

I think you should overwrite the HDN_ITEMCLICK default routine from CListCtrl; that will give you the header item selected in LPNMHEADER phdr = reinterpret_cast(pNMHDR); m_nSortHeaderItem = phdr->iItem; After that you do the 'sort' thing and display the new list. This is how I did it! Good luck and keep the good coding!

The List Control doesn't have any styles for doing this automatically, but you can handle the HDN_ITEMCLICK notifications and use SortItems() on the list control.
