Hi Jozef,


>Solution with using makro works only in conjunction with cursorfill method.

????

It works with cursorrefresh. I have done it.

look at my Example

LOCAL;
 lcMacro   AS CHARACTER,;
 loAdapter AS CURSORADAPTER


CREATE CURSOR myTable (c1 C(1), c2 C(3))
INSERT INTO myTable VALUES ("A","1")
INSERT INTO myTable VALUES ("B","2")
INSERT INTO myTable VALUES ("C","3")

loAdapter = NEWOBJECT('captest')

lcMacro = ''
loAdapter.CURSORFILL()
SELECT (loAdapter.ALIAS)
BROWSE
lcMacro = 'ORDER BY 1 DESC'
loAdapter.CURSORREFRESH()
BROWSE

DEFINE CLASS capTest AS CURSORADAPTER
 PROCEDURE INIT
  THIS.ALIAS          = 'capTest'
  THIS.DATASOURCE     = 'Native'
  THIS.DATASOURCETYPE = 'Native'
  THIS.SELECTCMD      = "SELECT * FROM MyTable &lcMacro"
 ENDPROC &&INIT
ENDDEFINE

all what you have to care is, that SELCTCMD holds the &lcMacro, not the expanded string.

>>>Hi !
>>>1.I want to change "order by ..." clause - included in cursoradapter SelectCmd property - based on a selection made by user. After making such change how should I refresh underlaying cursor ? CursorRefresh method seems not work in such case ( cursorFill works but it close the cursor and destroy grid layout).
>>>2. I wonder why it is not possible to make such things using parameters like it is in case of 'where ...' clause. Does anybody knows the reason.
>>>'Order by' clause look simpler than 'where ...' clause
