| re: Order data items in a list or grid
Bernie,
I was posting here first because I'm not stuck with using the ComponentOne
component. If I can find an example that uses any kind of list/dbgrid
control, then I can take it from there.
In my list, all that is displayed to the user is the description field. I'd
like for them to be able to add an item, then use the up arrow to position
it in the list at the desired location. Behind the scenes, the iOrder field
is getting updated to maintain the desired sequence. This is the same order
the items will appear when the user pulls down a combobox in another form.
If I have to go with drag/drop instead, that's fine too.
I'll go ahead and post this in the ComponentOne group specifically for the
tdbgrid component and see what they say too.
Thanks,
Eric
