Listview AllowColumnReorder

[J M]

When you set the Listview's property AllowColumnReorder to True, users can
reorder the columns (quite logical I guess)... Bus how on earth can I obtain
from code what order these columns are in??? I want to save these settings
(to the registry or to a file) so that the program can recall which order of
columns the user prefers....


Thanks

Hi JM,

You cannot sort columnS, only the first column can be sorted, for more
columns you have to make your own class using Icomparer.

With this is should in my idea also be possible to know what is the sort
order of a column, however I think that that is a lot of work.

I hope this helps?

I think i didn't explain it right.

I want to get the order of the column headers, not the data itself in te
listview...

If I take windows explorer as an example,
you have the columns, filename, filetype, filesize, and so on and so on....
But, let's say for whatever reason I want to see the filesize as the first
column...
So I drag te column to the left and it is moved there. So now you've got:
filsize, filename, filetype, ..., ...

Sorting data in the columns by whatever column, I've already worked out...

You'll have to send a LVM_GETCOLUMNORDERARRAY
message to the listview
