> ## MIN-COLUMN-WIDTH-CHARS attribute

> Sets the minimum width of a browse column in character units. If the browse:

> - Has not been realized, all browse columns are minimally this size when realized.

> - Has been realized, any browse column smaller than the specified minimum is increased to the minimum width.

> Data type: Decimal

> Access: Readable/Writeable

> Applies to: BROWSE widget

> The default value for the MIN-COLUMNS-WIDTH-CHARS attribute is equivalent to 1 pixel and depends on the display resolution and the size of the default font of the system.

> An error occurs if you attempt to programmatically set the width of a browse column to a value smaller than the value specified with the MIN-COLUMN-WIDTH-CHARS attribute.

> If COLUMN-RESIZABLE is set to TRUE, the user cannot change a column’s width to be less than the minimum width specified with the MIN-COLUMN-WIDTH-CHARS attribute.

> The MIN-COLUMN-WIDTH CHARS attribute affects the FIT-LAST-COLUMN attribute. Therefore, if you set FIT-LAST-COLUMN to TRUE, the last browse column is only resized to fit within the viewport if its width is no smaller than the minimum width. See the FIT-LAST-COLUMN attribute for more information about the FIT-LAST-COLUMN attribute.

> When you assign a decimal value to an attribute representing a measurement in character units, Progress automatically rounds the assigned value to the nearest decimal value that corresponds to whole pixel units.
