Very Computer

Hi.  This may be a silly question but I'm trying to find out how to
access a control that I've seen used in *many* programs, but I cannot
find within the controls that come with VB5.  An example of it is the
window that comes up in the "Find files or Folders" with the results
of your search.  You can click on the data labels and it does an
automatic sort and such.  It's also used in the standard "Windows
Explorer" file utility (the list of files, not the list of
directories).  Any help on what that control is and how to use it is
greatly appreciated.

That'd be a ListView. You need to go to Project-Components, and check
Windows Common Controls. Those include the ListView, TreeView,
ImageList, ProgressBar, StatusBar and one or two others.

I'm not sure if the Listview will do what you are wanting or not, but you
can do this:

Place command buttons above the column and resize them to your preference.
Then you can put code in the OnClick event that sorts the data accordingly.
