Applies To: C++Builder 1 or higher
Category: Knowledge Base

 

1.

  Start a new project using File | New Application.

 

2.

  Add a ListBox.

 

3.

  Add two (2) Buttons. Set their OnClick event to:

 

void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)

{

    ListBox1->Items->Add("C");

    ListBox1->Items->Add("A");

    ListBox1->Items->Add("W");

    ListBox1->Items->Add("T");

}

 

void __fastcall TForm1::Button2Click(TObject *Sender)

{

    ListBox1->Sorted = true;

}

 

When Sorted is true, items that are added or inserted are in alphabetical order.

 

Tips

· If you only want to sort current items, use the Sort method.
