Advanced listview example with column sort and OpenFile dialog

[jj2007]

The attached example
- loads all filenames matching \Masm32\Examples\*.inc|*.asm into an array
- displays them in a listview control, sorted by newest first
- allows sorting by name, size, date & time
- allows to pick another folder using GetOpenFileName
- allows to select and open a file from the listview

It is also a demo for conditional assembly (see "MyChoice" in line 10) and uses throughout "short globals" relative to the ebx register.

The *.asc source is for use with RichMasm, the *.asm file is better suited for qEditor.

Thanks for the example. I am taking my time to learn from it. It is "really" well commented. Even for a newbie like me :) Also, in higher level languages, I was suffering from the slowness of listboxes with colums while scrolling, which I think is related to extra drawings. But yours is quite fast.

very nice, Jochen   :t

i noticed the date column sorts in only one direction
that must be by design ?

Nice.... This maybe should be included in masm32 as index for examples  :t

I hope there is no irony in this :lol:

GetFiles + SortFiles yields a pre-sorted column, so the first click does nothing, but the second one will work: not lvSortAsc[eax] toggles all column sorts.

Yes indeed, thanks for reminding me. Oddly enough, my disk version was already corrected, it seems I just forgot to upload it.

Thanks to everybody for the nice feedback :t
