XFT ListBox sort property setting in XMetaL Developer 7

[stephen.perkins]

I have a form which loads items from a text file on the users computer into a listbox on an xft form. The list is presorted and I'm having difficulty getting the listbox (ListBox1) to respect the sort, which I should be able to do by setting ListBox1.Sort = 0 I believe. Is it restricted to be set in the OnInitialize event? Anywhere I try the form fails to populate the listbox.

Form and sample text list attached. The text list is expected to reside in C:DOCSAuthRecList.

Thanks in advance for any tips.

The sort property for ListBox1 in the XFT is set to “1 – yes” in the properties for that control. When I set it to “0 – no” the items in that listbox aren't sorted (as you expect I think).

I'm testing with XMetaL Author Enterprise 9.0.0.047 (current release).

If you still can't get it working please let us know your version number from Help > About and the product you are using (XMAX, XMetaL Author Enterprise or XMetaL Author Essential). Perhaps there is an issue with your specific release.

Well that's humbling. My XMDeveloper cleats have been gathering dust a couple years and I forgot completely to look at the control properties form (red face). Thanks!
