ListItems are added in reverse order

Hi,

I have a listbox called lstFolders.
I select the folder names from a database and return them in ascending
order.

However, when I do the listbox.items.i nsert(0, new instance)
method, the items that are supposed to come back on in ascending order
are the exact opposite order. The first one is at the bottom of the list.

I'm assuming that the first, second, and so forth are pushed down in the
list
as a new one is added. How do I get them returned in the correct order?

Try chaning the code over to ListBox.Items.A dd( new instance )

That will retain the order they are added in.

Or you could set the order by to desc.

HTH,

Why isn't ALLOW REVERSE SCANS the default? Why do we have to - drop PK - create an index - recreate PK What are the advantages of indexes that do not allow reverse scans?

I'm relatively new to DB2 and was reasonably amused to see the REVERSE SCAN availability for Indexes. My assumptions are as follows: DB2/UDB uses B-Tree for indexing by default and is likely the main offering for Indexing within the DB. Reverse Scans could possibly only happen on the the leaf node of the index

Hello, I have a question. I try to print a ascii file in reverse order( bottom-top). Here is the logic. 1. Go to the botton of the file fseek(). move one character back to avoid the EOF. 2. From here read a character, print it, move the file pointer (FILE*) to 2 steps back (using fseek(fp, -2, SEEK_CUR)) to read the previous character. This seems to be ok if the file has a single line (i.e. no new line character). The above logic...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
