Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress 4GL Reference

EXPANDABLE attribute

Indicates whether Progress extends the right-most browse-column to the right edge of the browse. This covers white space that appears when the browse is wider than the sum of the widths of the browse-columns.

Data type: LOGICAL

Access: Readable/Writable

Applies to: BROWSE widget

If you set a browse’s EXPANDABLE attribute to TRUE, Progress extends the right-most browse-column to the right edge of the browse, if necessary, to cover any white space that might appear-unless you explicitly set the width of the right-most browse-column using the WIDTH-CHARS or WIDTH-PIXELS attribute.

The right-most browse-column expands to the right anytime the browse or another browse-column is resized.

Notes

If the browse has a horizontal scroll bar, no white space appears between the right-most browse column and the right edge of the browse, and the right-most browse column does not expand to the right.
If EXPANDABLE is TRUE and a browse column’s VISIBLE attribute is changed, the last column’s width may be changed.
When adding dynamic browse columns to a browse, it is best to keep EXPANDABLE turned off until all columns are added.
