How to sort List of Buttons

 

Hey beautiful people!

 

I'm working on a User Control, and I've created a List variable like this:

 

Private vKey As New List(Of Button)

 

Then I search for all the buttons in the user control and add them:

 

   Private Sub AddToList()
       For Each Key As Control In Me.Controls
           If TypeOf (Key) Is Button Then
               vKey.Add(Key)
           End If
       Next
   End Sub

 

I'd want to sort the list by the button names ('cause they're added in some unknown order)

 

Thanks!

The Sort method comes in handy:

   Sub SortButtons()
       vKey.Sort(AddressOf SomeButtonCompareFunction)
   End Sub

   Function SomeButtonCompareFunction(ByVal A As Button, ByVal B As Button) As Integer
       ' You probably want to perform a string compare of the two button's names here.
   End Function
