List view items Order

[S Shulman]

Hi all

I need to know the actual order of the items in the listview control even
after the user clicked the column header to re-arrange the order

Thank you,
Shmuel

Public Shared Function ListViewGetColumnOrder(ByVal lvw As
ListView) As Integer()
Dim len As Integer = lvw.Columns.Count
Dim inta As Integer() = New Integer(len - 1) {}
SendMessage(lvw.Handle, LVM_GETCOLUMNORDERARRAY, len, inta)
Return inta
End Function

Public Const LVM_FIRST As Integer = &H1000
Public Const LVM_GETCOLUMNORDERARRAY As Integer = (LVM_FIRST + 59)

Public Declare Auto Function SendMessage Lib "User32" ( _
ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, _
ByVal msg As Integer, _
ByVal wParam As Integer, _
ByVal lParam As Integer()) As Boolean


HTH,

Sam
