Listbox Sort (by status) getting unselected

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 01:10:36 GMT

Greetings.

I have multiple listboxes in my dashboard, but depending on the data that I load, the sort by status option gets unchecked. This seems to happen depending on what data is loaded. Also, sort by status gets unchecked when I maximize the listbox window.

Anyone heard of this? Any work around? Am I doing something wrong (and I should probably contact Support, eh?).

Thanks.

Sally

Sally,

you mean "sort by state", right? I tried it myself, and I can see how "sort by state" is getting unchecked when I maximize the list box. It looks like a bug, please report it. Don't hink you are doing anything wrong. I bet not many people had experienced it, because people are rarely maximizing List Boxes.

regards,

Oleg

Ack. Yes, I meant sort by state. (sorry).

I will contact Suipport with this, then.

Thanks.

This is not a bug, but a documented behavior. From the Ref Guide, Listbox, Sort property:

"Sorts the field values according to their logical state
(selected, optional or excluded). Each time you resize the
list box, the program verifies if the total number of values is
displayed. If it is not, the State sort order will be switched
on automatically. If all the values are displayed, the State
sort order will be switched off. "

You may or may not like this behavior, but it's WAD2.
