What II am really looking for, is what kind of list I
should use.
I am figuring I will need to do something like
list.addobject('blah',pointer(datenumber))
But what list can I use or would be best to use that
i can sort by the datanumber ? (other than a
TListview)
I won't claim either of these to be the BEST way, but they
will work:
1. create a sorted stringlist and use the date
formatted
as either an integer with fixed
number of digits (leading 0s)
or as YYYYMMDD.
Put pointers (or whatever) as the list
objects to reference the associated
directory entry. Then
call TStringlist.Sort method on the
list.
2. create a stringlist (again with the list
objects pointing to the
directory entries wherever you have them)
and use the
TStringlist.CustomSort method to sort
it. You'll have to
write an override TStringlistSortCompare
function to do the
compares (it can just compare the
dates).
hope this helps
