Cool_Dev is quite right. It's not reasonable for you to expect us to be psychic. You might have done millions of things wrongly.

If in real doubt... Make a mew dialog box application, essentially with just this feature. A list box, and maybe two sort buttons. In those buttons' code, use different sort functions. When that works, then you'll see what you did wrong in your "real" application.

thanks for your concern
my mistake was the first parameter in ListView_SortItems
1st parameter was not indicating the listview
now i made it as listview handler .....
Eugan gave me the solution ..

Please note,
that the first parameter of the macro ListView_SortItems
should get the handle of the list, not of the dialog... Smile | :)

Good Morning, Arun Smile | :)

The sorting function has the following prototype:
int CALLBACK CompareFunc(LPARAM lParam1, LPARAM lParam2, LPARAM lParamSort);, where
- lParamSort is the third parameter of your above placed macro (hDlg in your case)
- lParam1 - is the Data associated with the first coming item to compare
- lParam1 - is the Data associated with the second coming item to compare

At the inserting of the items
you should associate a data (for example a number or pointer to a data set) with the item.
Please see the area Adding List-View Items and Subitems
at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb774736(VS.85).aspx[^] Smile | :)

It is shown there
how you could associate a pointer to a data set
(line: lvI.lParam = (LPARAM) &rgPetInfo[index];) Smile | :)

Then, in your sorting function you could operate with the data:
just cast and operate with two data sets, for example:

PETINFO* petInfo1 =  (PETINFO*) lParam1;
PETINFO* petInfo2 =  (PETINFO*) lParam2;
return _tcscmp(petInfo1->szKind, petInfo2->szKind);

Good morning Eugen

this is how my existing project sorting functionality

HD_NOTIFY *phdntfy = (HD_NOTIFY *) lparam;

if (phdntfy->hdr.code == HDN_ITEMCLICK)
{
if (phdntfy->iItem == Sort1)
{
SortOrder[phdntfy->iItem] *= -1;
}
else {
Sort2 = Sort1; Sort1 = phdntfy->iItem; }

ListView_SortItems(hwndLV, ListViewCompareProc, Sort1);
}

break;

but in my project there is no LPARAM in notify method
Notify(HWND hDlg, int idCtrl, NMHDR *pnmh) these are the params of notify method
how do i get HD_NOTIFY

Do you mean, that the lparam is NULL at the first line ? Smile | :)

I mean to say in my already existing notify method does not have LPARAM parameter
these are the parameters of my notofy function
Notify(HWND hDlg, int idCtrl, NMHDR *pnmh)

Coz
this is how they finds whether sorting has to be done in reverse order or ascending....

if (phdntfy->hdr.code == HDN_ITEMCLICK)
//&& (phdntfy->iItem < 5))
{
if (phdntfy->iItem == Sort1) // if same sort, reverse order
{
SortOrder[phdntfy->iItem] *= -1;
}
else // else, perform secondary sort
{
Sort2 = Sort1; // primary sort becomes secondary sort
Sort1 = phdntfy->iItem; // new primary second sort
}

You could sort your list at the init state
and save the order in your own variable,
then - change it, at the next sorting... Smile | :)

Now i have given Like this

typedef struct tagNOTATIONINFO
{
	int nEpoch;
	TCHAR szDateTime[20];
	TCHAR szEvent[100];
}
NOTATIONINFO;




int CALLBACK ListViewCompareProc(LPARAM lParam1, LPARAM lParam2, LPARAM lParamSort)
{
	NOTATIONINFO* nNot1=(NOTATIONINFO*) lParam1;
 	NOTATIONINFO* nNot2=(NOTATIONINFO*) lParam2;
return  _tcscmp(nNot1->szEvent,nNot2->szEvent);
}

just comparing the event parameter
nothing happening
is there any thing extra i need to do ???

I have some questions Smile | :)

:
0) Will the comparing function be called, can you verify it ?
1) The structure instances must be associated with list items.
How were the items inserted ?

virtual void BeHappy() = 0;

Re: Listview Sorting

arun_pk21-Apr-10 0:27

yes the comparing function is getting called.

ListView items are added from a file

at every Loop i m adding to global structure variable of NOTATIONINFO

Re: Listview Sorting

Eugen Podsypalnikov21-Apr-10 0:33

Eugen Podsypalnikov

21-Apr-10 0:33

Does every item get an own variable of the NOTATIONINFO structure
with unque filled field szEvent ? Smile | :)

virtual void BeHappy() = 0;

Re: Listview Sorting

arun_pk21-Apr-10 0:39

arun_pk

21-Apr-10 0:39

yes
im initializing

NotationInfo = new ArrayVector&lt;NOTATIONINFO&gt; (500);

at my initdialog function
and my fillList function is having a local temp variable

NOTATIONINFO notTemp={0}<

which will get each event,epoch and datetime

NotationInfo->Add(notTemp)

Re: Listview Sorting

Eugen Podsypalnikov21-Apr-10 0:50

Eugen Podsypalnikov

21-Apr-10 0:50

Have you something like this ? Smile | :)

...
NOTATIONINFO notTemp = {0};
...
TCHAR szEventToSet[30] = {0};
// Fill here the variable szEventToSet unique out
...
_tcscpy_s(notTemp.szEvent, _countof(notTemp.szEvent), szEventToSet);
NotationInfo->Add(notTemp);
...
