Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress 4GL Reference

INNER-CHARS attribute

The number of data columns within a selection list or editor widget.

Data type: INTEGER

Access: Readable/Writeable

Applies to: EDITOR widget, SELECTION-LIST widget

This attribute is more portable than the WIDTH-CHARS attribute.

For editor widgets, this attribute can set the word wrap margin for the WORD-WRAP attribute. For more information, see the WORD-WRAP attribute reference entry.

If a selection list is not already realized and you reference its INNER-CHARS attribute, Progress realizes the widget.
