SortIndicators Property, SftTreeHeaders Object

Defines whether sort indicators are shown.

Syntax

Get

VB.NETStyle = object.SortIndicators As SftTreeHeaderSortIndicatorsConstants
VBStyle = object.SortIndicators As SftTreeHeaderSortIndicatorsConstants
C#.NETSftTreeHeaderSortIndicatorsConstants Style = object.SortIndicators;
VC++enum SftTreeHeaderSortIndicatorsConstants Style = object->SortIndicators;
enum SftTreeHeaderSortIndicatorsConstants Style = object->GetSortIndicators();
CHRESULT object->get_SortIndicators(enum SftTreeHeaderSortIndicatorsConstants* Style);

Put

VB.NETobject.SortIndicators = Style As SftTreeHeaderSortIndicatorsConstants
VBobject.SortIndicators = Style As SftTreeHeaderSortIndicatorsConstants
C#.NETSftTreeHeaderSortIndicatorsConstants object.SortIndicators = Style;
VC++enum SftTreeHeaderSortIndicatorsConstants object->SortIndicators = Style;
void object->PutSortIndicators(enum SftTreeHeaderSortIndicatorsConstants Style);
CHRESULT object->put_SortIndicators(enum SftTreeHeaderSortIndicatorsConstants Style);

object

A SftTreeHeaders object.

Style

Defines whether sort indicators are shown.

StyleValueDescription
headerSortIndicatorsSftTreeNone0None. Sort indicators are not displayed.
headerSortIndicatorsSftTreeAuto1Automatic. Sort indicators are displayed and the tree control automatically responds to mouse button clicks to change sort order and sorted column.
headerSortIndicatorsSftTreeManual2Manual. Sort indicators are displayed but the tree control does not automatically respond to mouse button clicks to change sort order and sorted column.

Comments

The SortIndicators property defines whether sort indicators are shown.

The tree control will never automatically sort the data.

With headerSortIndicatorsSftTreeAuto the tree control automatically updates sort indicators in response to mouse clicks. The ItemClick event (AreaType = constSftTreeColumnHeader) can be used to determine when the header was clicked, meaning the sort indicator was clicked. The Header.SortIndicator property can be used to determine the status of sort indicators when handling the ItemClick event. The application has to sort the data based on the sort indicators, usually using the Items.SortDependents method.

With headerSortIndicatorsSftTreeManual the application must change sort indicators explicitly. The Header.SortIndicator property can be used to update the status of sort indicators. The application has to sort the data based on the sort indicators, usually using the Items.SortDependents method.

Examples

VB.NET

        AddMessage(1, "anyone@acompany.com", "Re: You're hired", "10/11/05", 6, False)
        ItemIndex = AxSftTree1.Items.ItemIndex(m_SavedFolder)
        AxSftTree1.get_Item(ItemIndex).Collapse(False)
        m_DeletedFolder = AddFolder("Deleted", "Deleted messages", 0)
        AxSftTree1.ColumnsObj.MakeOptimal()
        AxSftTree1.Items.RecalcHorizontalExtent()
        AxSftTree1.Splitter.MakeOptimal()
        ' allow sorting
        AxSftTree1.Headers.SortIndicators = SftTreeHeaderSortIndicatorsConstants.headerSortIndicatorsSftTreeAuto
