FormComboBox sort method

Posted on by thills 275

I have a combobox that lists all the values of a base enum. I was hoping to sort my values in alphabetical order but the FormComboBox.sort() method does not seem to do anything in my case. From what I've seen it takes either 0 or 1 as an argument for sort order and then should sort the contents of the combobox but that just doesn't happen. My only guess is that maybe it can't sort the values from an enum, but I don't know. Does anyone have any insight on this?

    It is not possible to sort the comboBox value.

    Actually sorting is static and you can do it at design time by assigning enum element value.

    Go to base enum and set the enum value of each element as per you want to see the value.

    as enum value use to numeric then values in combo box will show values in ascending order of enum value.

    Please review following link for more details

    Yes your guess is right.You cant sort combobox with enum values.

    You can sort combobox by  folllowing 2 methods :-

    1.creating a look up by code & then sort.

    2.Fill the value in combobox dynamically i.e X++ code & then try to sort it.

    Hope it will help you.

    Hi Nitesh

    I think their is some gap.I have an Enum X which have 3 elements in Order i.e A,B,C with enum values 0,1,2 respectively.But on Form i want to see them like this B,C,A  so I changed enum values to A=4,C=3,B=2 . But still its not sorting i can see A,B,C accordingly in my form"s Combobox.

    Can you tell me the exact reason??
