Hi all.
Many good ideas have been offered for this and I thought I’d share a very
simple solution we use for actions on listbox columns.
Sort
- first click on the column title = sort the column contents in default
direction
- click again = sort in reverse
Keep track of the last column clicked and what direction the sort was in, in
case you need to restore the current setup on return from doing other stuff.
If a different column is clicked, revert to the default sort direction and
update direction arrow.
Search
In columns where a search action is offered
- show a “dropdown menu” icon in the column title button.
- right-click opens a popup menu
- All (this restores all values)
- Multi Search
—————
- distinct values of column contents
Multi Search
- open dialog with 2 columns (ticks and distinct values) allowing user to do
multiple ticks
- offer footer buttons
- Search in List
- Search all
- Cancel
That’s it!
Very simple and the users like it.
Cheers, Keith
