Ghost21 0 Posted January 24, 2008 Using the GUICtrlCreateCombo() "style" parameter, $CBS_SORTI thought that worked only if its being typed in... Sorry should have been more specific. It's being queried from an SQL database and sent to it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
james3mg 1 Posted January 24, 2008 I thought that worked only if its being typed in... Sorry should have been more specific. It's being queried from an SQL database and sent to it...Should still work, I think.Anyway, can't you add a Order By parameter to your sql SELECT query?

Cyri 0 Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) hmmm.. I will have to look that up...Thanks for the tip..I'm running into a similar situation. I'm using logparser to populate the combo box. I'm already using an Order By in the LogParser query, but it's case sensitive. The $CBS_SORT doesn't work. As stated before, that will only work for ones you type into the drop down.Any other suggestions? I haven't been able to get Log Parser to be case insenstive when sorting.

Melba23 3,515 Posted February 24, 2009 Hi,Why not load the returned values into an array and then sort the array (_ArraySort). Getting the array into the combo is trivial:For $i = 1 To $aList[0] $sList &= $aList[$i] & "|" Next $hCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo (...)
