Yes, read the API...Better yet, why don't we all just be nice and give
the guy some real help...like an example? Whadda ya say? Eh?
This function results in items grouped by category. You'll need your
own sorting criteria in here
Example DmComparF function:
Int16 InventoryCompareRecords (
void *c1,
void *c2,
Int16 otherinfo,
SortRecordInfoPtr info1,
SortRecordInfoPtr info2, MemHandle appInfoH)
{
Int16 result;
Int16 sortOrder;
SentientBarcodeType sort1;
SentientBarcodeType sort2;
InventoryExpandRecord (c1, &sort1);
InventoryExpandRecord (c2, &sort2);
result = CategoryCompare (info1->attributes, info2->attributes,
appInfoH);
if (result == 0)
{
sortOrder = InventoryGetAppSortOrder (appInfoH,
info1->attributes & dmRecAttrCategoryMask);
switch (sortOrder)
{
case SortByItemNumber:
result = StrCompare (sort1.ItemNumber, sort2.ItemNumber);
if (result == 0)
{
result = StrCompare (sort1.LotNumber, sort2.LotNumber);
if (result == 0)
result = StrCompare (sort1.Description,
sort2.Description);
if (result == 0)
result = StrCompare (sort1.Transaction,
sort2.Transaction);
}
break;
case SortByDescription:
result = StrCompare (sort1.Description, sort2.Description);
if (result == 0)
{
result = StrCompare (sort1.ItemNumber, sort2.ItemNumber);
if (result == 0)
result = StrCompare (sort1.LotNumber, sort2.LotNumber);
if (result == 0)
result = StrCompare (sort1.Transaction,
sort2.Transaction);
}
break;
case SortByLocations:
result = StrCompare (sort1.Location, sort2.Location);
break;
case SortByUserID:
result = StrCompare (sort1.UserID, sort2.UserID);
break;
case SortByOrders:
result = StrCompare (sort1.Order, sort2.Order);
break;
case SortByTransactions:
result = StrCompare (sort1.Transaction, sort2.Transaction);
}
}
return result;
}
