EccoFolder Methods

Refresh

 

Refreshes the information about the items found in the EccoFolder object.  Caution: if you do not invoke this method before using the Items, FindItems or FindValues methods, it is possible that a user will have changed the items appearing in the Ecco folder, causing those functions to return out-of-date information.

 

Remove EccoItem

 

Causes the specified EccoItem object to be removed from the folder. Note that this does not remove the item from the Ecco file; you must use the EccoApp's Delete method for this. Caution: if you delete an item from all folders, the item will remain in the Ecco file as an "orphan" item.

 

SortItems [Descending]

 

Sorts the EccoFolder's Items property (an EccoItems collection) based on the text of the items. By default items are sorted in ascending order. To sort in descending order, specify Descending as True.

 

SortValues [Descending]

Sorts the EccoFolder's Items property (an EccoItems collection) based on the folder value. By default items are sorted in ascending order. To sort in descending order, specify Descending as True.

Caution: Ecco does not directly handle dates earlier than 1940. As a result, date folders containing dates before January 1, 1940 will not sort accurately.
