Download Chipp's altFldHeader stack from http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/RunRev/Downloads.htm
This gives you a group of header buttons that allow you to resize the columns of a field. You can also specify whether you want the button to be active and if so, you can put a sort routine in each one, or set a property that specifies the type of sort to do, and have a general sort routine that uses this. If you store the settings for the last sort, you can do reverse sorts if the same sort button is clicked a second time.
Cheers, Sarah

Hello,
I was very interested in this, because it's exactly what I want to do...
But, I am wondering how can you do this so that it is even more like
iTunes?... What I mean is, I need to be able to sort the various columns
with the little vertical arrows depending on which field was sorted and
how it was sorted... The fields I have are going to be either numeric,
alphanumeric, and a date in the format of "03-02-2003"...
Thanks so much!

Hi Valetia,
There are two ways to go, depending on what you want. 1) if you're okay with 'line-per-line' scrolling of your field, you can simply: - create a pattern in your favourite painting app - import it as an image - use the 'Colors' palette to set the backgroundPattern of the field to your imported pattern - set the script of the field to : on scrollbarDrag put the scroll of me into tScroll put the effective textHeight of me into tLineHeight if (tScroll MOD tLineHeight) is not 0 then set the scroll of me to \ ((tScroll DIV tLineHeight) * tLineHeight) end if end scrollbarDrag
2) if you want pixel-per-pixel' scrolling, things get a bit more complicated, but it is possible ; here's the way I did it : - create a pattern in your favourite painting app - import it as an image - create a rectangle the size of the field > 'Foo' - set its lineSize to 0 - use the 'Colors' palette to set the backgroundPattern of the rectangle to your imported pattern - group the rectangle > 'Bar' - set the margins of group "Bar" to 0 - set the lockLocation of group "Bar" to true - move the group behind the field - set the field's opaque to false Now a few more steps are needed to make it scroll well: - set the script of the field to : on scrollbarDrag set the scroll of group "Bar" to the scroll of me end scrollbarDrag on InitBkgnd put the rect of graphic "Foo" into tBgRect put the formattedHeight of me into tHeight add (tHeight - item 4 of tRect - item 2 of tRect) \ to item 4 of tRect end InitBkgnd - and use the message box to : set the scroll of grp "Bar" to 1 set the scroll of fld "List" to 1 send "InitBkgnd" to fld "List"
You may have to fiddle some positions a bit with respect to the field margins, and you'll have to make sure the list field has a fixed line height.
Hope this helped,
Jan Schenkel.
