Description

Description:

Automatically creates buttons and sets them up so they can be used to sort a CT_LISTNBOX. The buttons will automatically be resized to the column width of given controlFilter.

ⓘ

• controlFilter
  • x, y, w and h define where the buttons for sorting are created
  • It should be placed above the controlContent
  • The amount of columns and their size should be identical with the ones of controlContent.
  • The text set in the columns is displayed as text for the buttons (The buttons are transparent actually). Icons which indicate how the list is currently sorted are also adjusted when the button is pressed.
  • If a column of controlContent is supposed to be sorted by value instead of data (default), then something needs to be set in the data of corresponding controlFilter column
  • The control can also be part of a CT_CONTROLS_GROUP, if that's the case, the buttons will be created as children of that group
  • To keep a uniform style between vanilla controls and custom ones it is advisable to create a background with CT_STATIC behind the controlFilter with colorBackground[] = {0,0,0,1};
