Enable Start-Search for columns added to dynamic browse

[g-nf-5]

When I create a dynamic browse, I can sort on the columns that I've created initially using the Start-Search trigger in the browse. The columns that I add on the fly will not enable, therefore I cannot sort them. How do I get the new columns enabled?

Bummer... I see that if I set Movable to False it works, but I was hoping to be able to move it as well. Is it not possible to have a movable column that can use START-SEARCH?

As of the standard functionality you can either move the column or use the START-SEARCH trigger - that's the way it is as both events rely on a click on the column header. Most people solve that issue by providing a toggle to the user where she/he can decided what she/he wants to do where the sorting would be the default.

Of course you can try to roll your own logic on the START-SEARCH but I've never tried that. Maybe somebody else has and can provide you with a solution.

A toggle is by far the easiest way. Just add a right mouse menu to the browse allowing the user to switch between column move and columns sort.

Thanks for your help. I'll give it a shot when I get a chance to get back to it.
