Looking for a better listbox

[Max Moor]

Hi All,

I want a listbox with column sort buttons at the top and adjustable
column widths. You see them in all kinds of applications, like Windows
Explore's file list. I could build one for myself using labels with button
down and button up events and a bunch of code to round it out. Isn't there
something simple already out there that I can drop in?

Thanks for any pointers,
Max

Those are ListViews. Access Controls > Additional controls(elipsis)>
Microsoft ListView Control, ver 6.0

I find so often that users really don't need the column sizing....

And, the few cases for sorting, I add a combo box at the top of the form.

And, you do get filter by selection for free if you copy the menu buttons.

Here is some screen shots of continues forms I used, and I tend to like them
better then datasheet viewes...

Hi Mike,

I was afraid of that. I've put off trying to implement them, as I've
heard so many complains. I bit the bullet and started in on it, and just
about have it all working for me, though. So far it's not bad at all. We'll
see what happens when I try to get fancy some day.

Regards,
Max
