Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
SYMPTOM(s):
Attempting to left-align labels of Browse columns
This fails for columns with the datatypes INTEGER or DECIMAL
It is possible to center and right-align labels of columns with datatypes INTEGER or DECIMAL
It is possible center, left- and right-align labels of columns with datatypes CHARACTER, DATE or LOGICAL
CAUSE:
This is expected behaviour. The string attributes (:L, :R, etc.) are not meant to be used for browse header label alignment. Their purpose is to reserve space within the text segment for string translations. Numeric columns right align and other columns left align. It is possible to get the appearance of right justification and centering using string attributes, but it is not the intended behaviour and therefore not guaranteed to work in all cases.
FIX:
Refer to solution P57882 for further details about how to align column labels in a Browse widget.
