probably a dumb question : how do i get a listview to sort itself when a user clicks on one of the column headers ? ascending, then descending (like in microsoft outlook to view your mails alphabetically, or by recieved date, ...)

thanx

First make sure that it is style is set to report:
<pre>
listview1.View = lvwReport
ListView1.Sorted = True
</pre>


*</p>
then in:
<pre>
Private Sub ListView1_ColumnClick(ByVal ColumnHeader As MSComctlLib.ColumnHeader)
ListView1.SortKey = ColumnHeader.Key
End Sub
</pre>

i did exactly that, but i get a type mismatch error. i see at runtime that the key value is "". anything else i should check for ?
by the way my columns are designed at runtime, so i should probably assign a key value then, but i'm not quite sure what it's supposed to be ...

Just asign a key to every column you're adding.
eg.
"col1" for column 1
"col2" for column 2

etc
