I am getting error "EDITOR widget does not fill in parent frame" when launching the window .... in production enviornment.
The OS used in WINDOWS XP.

Please suggest somthing for this.
 
You mean, editor widget does not *fit* in Progress frame.

It means that the editor widget doesn't fit inside it's container object (the frame). This is because when the Progress procedure is run, either the size of the frame is set too small, or the size of the editor is set too large.

Either way, if it don't fit, Progress will throw up a message telling you about it.

This can sometimes happen when MS-Windows steals more window space at run-time than it did at design-time and the programmer hasn't allowed for this (that's most of us!). For example, if you change your MS-Windows settings to use large font, or if you make the border icons too large, then this will eat away at the available window space which will eventually result in insufficient space for Progress to display all of its widgets.

If this message has just appeared out of nowhere, then reset your windows Display Options to the default sizes and try again. If it's your own program that's causing the problem, then you'll have to fix the sizing problem yourself. Remember that in general, widgets of all types must be smaller than their containing frames. As a (very) basic guideline you can use the following formulae to calculate the maximum size of a widget:

max WIDGET width in pixels = (FRAME:WIDTH-PIXELS - WIDGET:X)
max WIDGET height in pixels = (FRAME:HEIGHT-PIXELS - WIDGET:Y)
