Table Widget & Column View

Postby PhotonDemon » Thu May 27, 2010 2:10 pm

Hi,

I am playing with the "Widget Kit" parts "Table Widget" and "Column View". I am using the sort feature where it seems if you click on the column heading the column is sorted. I would like to know more about just what happens when the column heading is clicked but can't find anything to read about it. If someone can point me to some doc's that would help.

I would like to know things like does the first click sort up and then the second click sort down? Also, is there a way to change the heading to indicate which column the table was sorted on and in which direction? Thanks.

Hey John,

Did you see <varoot>\readme\wkctrl70.pdf?


I had not found that document, so thanks for pointing it out. However, it have very little information about the sorting of the rows by the values in a column. After playing around a bit, it does seem that clicking on the heading alternates between ascending and descending sorting. There doesn't seem to be a simple way to indicate which column drove the sort and in which direction. I don't really need this feature but it would be nice.

Thanks, Lou
