| The acListView component is the advanced ListView which can automatically sort columns, displaying the arrow-style sorting mark, which represents the sorting direction (like in the MS-Outlook).
|
|
|
| The acListView sorts items automatically and does not require any additional programming. However, the custom sorting are still supported. The acListView recognizes the format of list items and can automatically sort the text, numerical and date/time values when the sorting rules or any list item changes.

| new! acListView supports custom multiline tooltips for list items. Write OnToolTip event handler to specify tooltips. Also was implemented so-called "thumb-tracking" tips for vertical scroll bar. When user drags the thumb, the acListView shows the hint with caption of top item of current sorted column (see ShowScrollTips property).
