Progress 9.X
ADM2
CAUSE:
he browse widget has three new attributes in Version 9:
Resizable, Movable, and Selectable. These attributes allow the browse to be moved and resized at runtime as well as at design time.
In order for the user to be able to move or resize the browse manually at runtime, the browse must be selectable. If a browse is selectable at runtime, direct manipulation events are enabled for the browser and take precendence over all other events. Therefore, the vertical scroll bar and data entry are disabled, since clicking on the browse with the mouse selects it. This is consistent with the behavior of other widgets, e.g., the selection-list widget.
FIX:
Even if the browse is not selectable, it may be resized (or moved) programatically, so a practical approach to resizing the browse at run time might be to allow the user to resize the window that contains the browse, and to programatically resize the browse accordingly.
FIX:
