Hey there Folks, So - I will admit - I have not worked much with a ListBox in the past. I think what I did work with - and this was like 2 or 3 years ago - was the ComboBox. Also - at my current gig (which they are converting me into a fulltime employee here at the end of March!) - I have almost no chance to work on interface design or changes. Which kinda Sucks - as that's really my favorite part of working in VFP. Instead - it's mostly data processing within the Apps, and working with SQL. As such - I'm glad to finally have an interface mod project that I can finally sink my teeth into.
Anyway - in this particular app there is a screen with a big ListBox. And, for the current project - there are several things I need to look into. The first has to do with the layout and how the user interacts with the ListBox. In 1 or more other screens - there are Grids - and the request is really to make the ListBox act more like the Grids. For instance - they want to be able to Re-Size the widths of columns. Currently, the one ListBox displays 9 columns and up to 11 rows. They also want to Sort by any of the columns. I suspect if I give them some way to pick which field that they want to sort by - that I can simply issue a Refresh of the ListBox to re-display the data in a new sort order. So - I'm curious to know if anyone has a suggestion about re-sizing the columns at run-time. I know that programmatically it CAN be done according to the online help - by updating of the ColumnWidths Property. It's just a matter of what control I give to the user to enable this to happen. By the way - the reason I believe that a ListBox was used is because they want to be able to Select Multiple items at a shot. That leads me to the other problem. You see - they need to select items from one ListBox - that then gets Moved from that list into another ListBox on the same screen. The problem is - they say that sometimes it moves items that were NOT Selected. Has anyone heard of this particular problem before with the ListBox???
