Hi,

I have a few questions regarding the ReportControl. I'm really new with it so any help would be appreciated. I listed all questions here otherwise I had to do 6 posts. It will be easier this way. The first 2 are sorting related and the other 4 are visual issues. Maybe the approach of sorting is totally wrong so any advice in this will be received with . Most controls have problems with sorting numbers and as I see it this is another one. Hopefully I'm wrong

First, I want to use the ReportControl for selecting files from a directory. The contents of the directory will be shown to the user. Now I want to sort the files on year and month, The year is not the problem because the string will be always 4 chars. But....

1:

The month however is going to be a problem: Jan(uari), Feb(ruari), Mar(ch) and so on, if sorting this you won't get a nice view. I would like a decent order. I have named the months as a 2 digit string 01,02,03 and so on and this will be sorted as it should. Now, is it possible to have the name of the month as group caption and still have a proper sort? 


2:

The same as in 1. In order to have a proper sort I had to adjust the filename. Actual filename is 1-1-2007.txt (01-01-2007)


3:

Is it possible to have skinned Tree Expand/Collapse buttons?


4:

Is it possible to have skinned checkboxes?


5:

Is it possible to have skinned buttons for the GroupBox buttons? Not the Office2007 style. I want to use my own button style. I know CodeJock does the same with the OfficeStyle so it should be possible.

6:

Is it possible to have skinned buttons for the FieldChooser?


Any advice,answers or solutions here? If you know just 1 out of six just let me know.
 
Thank you very much in advance.

For your sorting, there are properties called SortPriority and GroupPriority which allow you to assign a number value to each row and the number (not the value or caption) will determine the sort.  Just convert the date to an integer value and store it in the priority field.

Hi,
 
Thank you very much for your reply.
 
It's unbelievable, with just one line of code I have the sort I want. But...
 
The SortPriority is clear to me. The value assigned to it will sort the rows from 0 to ...... whatever value. I don't see what the GroupPriority does exactly. 
 
In a loop the values of year, month and day are assigned to SortPriority, right? Clicking a column header will sort the rows as I wish. Now, I also want to sort the columns by dragging the columns to the GroupboxHeader and still have the sorting I want by clicking the field (see 5 in the image above).
 
Will GroupPriority take care of this?

GroupPriority should take care of your issue number 1.  Just do something like:

Set Item = Record.AddItem("January")
Item.GroupCaption = "January"
Item.GroupPriority = 1

...

Set Item = Record.AddItem("February")
Item.GroupCaption = "February"
Item.GroupPriority = 2


This will cause the individual month groupings to sort based on the GroupPriority value.

Hi,
 
Thanks for the reply
 
I allready have sorting in all columns. And I didn't use GroupPriority at all, only SortPriority in all items.
 
What extra sorting functionality would add GroupPriority?

Hi,
Sometimes you need set Captions for Groups and Group Priority.
For example to groop to "Today, "Yestarday, Last Week"

Just try to set groups's captions to "Today", "Yesterday" and "Last week"  you will see that "Last week" appear before "Today". to change this order you need GroupPriority.

Hi,
 
I see, but in my case it wasn't necessary to do so, I had my SortPriority set to a value (in my case month: 0,1,2,3,4 etc...) and it sorts nicely
 
Thanks
