Mashiane Expert Licensed User Longtime User Mar 18, 2018 #1 Hi there I'm using a CheckBoxCombo controls and this has to be for a sort order. Thing is, it displays per items added to it irrespective of your "check" sequence. For example, I want to check these items in sequence, three, one and two, and it always displays one,two,three? Any ideas please? Thanks

MarkusR Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 19, 2018 #3 i not like this comboboxes, its better to have a textfield + button and at button click you do something. open a form with search/filter/(multi)select etc. and at close you write it as you wish info your textfield. for the list you can use a TableView and for the data a Type Item(Checked,SortNo,Name) other idea with CheckBoxCombo is to rename the list item with [1] at checked in changed event and start .Sort but this will confuse the user. or you need to compare the GetCheckedIndices before/after changed and build your own selection order list Last edited: Mar 19, 2018 Upvote 0
