rptsort |
|
The rptsort object is a data member of the pvxreport object interface, delegated to store and manipulate a sort segment definition. One object is created for each segment in the sort order, and the creation sequence must match the sort order sequence. The pvxreport GetSortItem( ) method can be used to retrieve the object handle for an rptsort object, which allows access to all the object's methods and properties.
The following table lists the properties of the rptsort object:
|
