Description |
|---|---|
|
value |
Whether the data retrieved from query mode specifications is sorted. Values are: Yes -- Sorting is enabled. No -- Sorting is disabled. |
Usage
If the DataWindow is not already in query mode, setting QuerySort to Yes also sets QueryMode to Yes, putting the DataWindow in query mode.
When you set QuerySort to No, the DataWindow remains in query mode until you also set QueryMode to No.
Query mode and secondary DataWindows
When you are sharing data, you cannot turn on query mode for a secondary DataWindow. Trying to set the QueryMode or QuerySort properties results in an error.
Examples
string setting
setting = dw1.Object.DataWindow.QuerySort
dw1.Object.DataWindow.QuerySort = "yes"
setting = dw1.Describe("DataWindow.QuerySort")
dw1.Modify("DataWindow.QuerySort=yes")
