I assume when you say that sorting the rows would require a re-query, you are referring to a new SQL statement with a "ORDER BY" clause. I think what he's asking for is perfectly do-able without a new query. Since the rows are stored in a grid control of some sort, then you should be able to sort the rows using the function of that grid control itself. This sort would have *no* impact on the actual data, where it is in the database, etc. I would imagine that this sort of this would be possible only if the wxWindows control used to display the data supported it. I will do some reasearch and see if it can be done.
Adam,
this is a waste of time. DATA IS NOT COMPLETELY ON THE CLIENT, as I stated earlier. The grid doesn't have a chance to sort unless all data is loaded, but it's just the special feature that data is *not* loaded completely!
Andreas is right about this one. Ctrl-A (select all text) is only going to work if wxWindows supports it. Really it should be a function of the control/widget that the text boxes are natively implemented in (comctrl32.dll on win), so I see no reason that it shouldn't work. Again, I will do some reasearch and see what I can dig up.
Other libraries don't implement this either. You'd have another problem: Which key code is going to be "Select all"? Is it the one that seems to be used more or less widely on the platform, Apple-A/Ctrl-A/Alt-A, or the one that many editors use, including the embedded Scintilla which implements a complete set of keyboard shortcuts? I doubt that the wx people would accept any of both solutions.
Regards, Andreas
