Question Change Width Of A Static Browse

[davidvilla]

I am defining a static browse, adding columns and setting the query to it dynamically based on user selection - sort of hybrid.
I can update the title of the browse dynamically, but I am not able to update the width of this static browse. I understand that once the browse is realized, I cannot update the width or size of the browse. But, is there any workaround to do that ?

define query qcust for customer scrolling.
define variable hbrowse as handle no-undo.
define browse brcust
    with 6 down size 40 by 10 centered title " customer " .

define frame fcust
    brcust
    with side-labels overlay width 80 row 2 column 1 title " hybrid browse".

on f5 of brcust in frame fcust do:
    brcust:width in frame fcust = 60.   /* i also tired --> hbrowse:width = 60. */
    brcust:title in frame fcust = "--customer expand--".   /* i also tired --> hbrowse:title = "--customer expand--". */ 
end.


view frame fcust.

hbrowse = brcust:handle.
hbrowse:query = query qcust:handle.
hbrowse:add-like-column("customer.custid").
hbrowse:add-like-column("customer.custname").
hbrowse:add-like-column("customer.custtstat").
open query qcust
    for each customer no-lock.

enable brcust with frame fcust.
apply "entry" to brcust in frame fcust.

wait-for close of this-procedure.

I'm using 11.2, CHUI.

Hi,

As per the OpenEdge help:
In character mode, the WIDTH-CHARS attribute must be set before the browse is realized. Attempting to set the attribute after realization of the browse causes a run-time error.
