Sorts the strings in the list in ascending order.
procedure Sort; virtual;
virtual __fastcall Sort();
Call Sort to sort the strings in a list that has the Sorted property set to false. String lists with the Sorted property set to true are automatically sorted.
C++ Examples:
/* This example uses a list box and a label on a form. When the application runs, a string list object is created and three strings are added to it. The Find method searches the strings to look for a match with the string ‘Flowers’. If the string is found, all the strings in the string list are added to the list box, and the index value of the ‘Flowers’ string appears in the caption of the label control. */ #include <memory> //for STL auto_ptr class void __fastcall TForm1::FormCreate(TObject *Sender) { int Index; std::auto_ptr<TStringList> MyList(new TStringList()); MyList->Add("Animals"); MyList->Add("Flowers"); MyList->Add("Ocean"); MyList->Sort(); // Find will only work on sorted lists if (MyList->Find("Flowers", Index)) { ListBox1->Items->AddStrings(MyList.get()); Label1->Caption = "Flowers has an index value of " + AnsiString(Index); } }
