MOVABLE attribute

(Graphical interfaces only)
Indicates whether the widget can receive direct manipulation events.
Data type: LOGICAL
Access: Readable/Writeable
Applies to: BROWSE widget (browse and column), BUTTON widget, COMBO-BOX widget, EDITOR widget, FILL-IN widget, FRAME widget, IMAGE widget, LITERAL widget, RADIO-SET widget, RECTANGLE widget, SELECTION-LIST widget, SLIDER widget, TEXT widget, TOGGLE-BOX widget
Set MOVABLE to TRUE to enable users to move the widget. To enable users to move more than one widget at a time, you must also set the SELECTABLE attribute to TRUE for each widget.
Note: Setting the MOVABLE attribute to TRUE enables direct manipulation events for the widget. These events take precedence over all other events. This effectively prevents data entry using the widget until all direct manipulation events are disabled (that is, until MOVABLE, RESIZABLE, and SELECTABLE are all FALSE).
