Resizing the browse

To let the user resize a browse, you set the browse's RESIZABLE and SELECTABLE attributes to TRUE, as the following code fragment shows:

ASSIGN CustBrowse:RESIZABLE = TRUE        CustBrowse:SELECTABLE = TRUE.

To resize a browse through direct manipulation, the user clicks on the browse to display the resize handles, then drags a resize handle as desired.

To resize a browse programmatically, you set the browse’s WIDTH-CHARS or WIDTH-PIXELS, HEIGHT-CHARS or HEIGHT-PIXELS, or DOWN attributes as desired.

The following code fragment programmatically resizes a browse to 50 characters wide by 40 characters high:

ASSIGN CustBrowse:WIDTH-CHARS = 50        CustBrowse:HEIGHT-CHARS = 40.
