thanx for all the replies. i think i'll just stick with what i'm using at the moment and see if i can figure out where its going wrong.
on a different note, is it possible to put a copyright symbol in the window title? AND i was just going through the samples and i noticed in pmx.pl that the menu accelerators actually work, so i added the & in front of menu items in my program but it doesn't work for the top menu entry. so if i press alt+f for file nothing will happen but if i click on file and press s the settings window will appear. any ideas? thanx in advance Mark Di Nicola <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: eforge.net perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] sorting a 27/06/02 08:26 PM listview [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Mark, > > Haven't had time to examine your code to closely but it looks as though > you're sorting everything as strings.
