Hi folks, I have a page with a WODisplayGroup that users can sort on the basis of three separate individual keys. However, initial tests suggest that people don't really find the default images of a WOSortOrder component particularly intuitive. (I'm not sure why, but the displayKey tooltip doesn't even display anything for me).
So I want to display some additional indication next to whichever WOSortOrder was the last they clicked on. The DG doesn't seem to know which WOSortOrder was used (asking it for its sortOrderings() seems to show the previous sortOrder, not that which is currently in effect). From my reading today it seems that it should be possible for the parent component to get hold of the values in the subcomponent. But a WOSortOrder does not seem to hold any information about it's current state. I then had a look at ERXSortOrder and that does have information that could be useful if I could get at it (it has fields SortedAscending, SortedDescending, and Unsorted). But I don't know how to get that information from the sub-component. I feel I need to learn a lot more about bindings, synchronizing values, parent-child communication, and the API editor. Just about the only resource I've been able to find on this, is in Chuck and Sacha's book. But I still can't figure things out. Am I going about this the wrong way?
