Hello,
can somebody tell me what i need to do if i have a button.
and set the manual-higlhligth = TRUE and Selected = TRUE.
why i can´t click on this button.
what should if i have a message in the trigger.
when i click on this button i want that the message will show.
can somebody explain it..
 
Sorry - I missed this one.

When SELECTABLE = true, all widgets go into a special mode that is used to manipulate the widget in design-mode. This means that all of the normal triggers are suspened. So for a button, if you set SELECTED = true, the CHOOSE trigger will not work when you click on it.

The same happens on a browser widget, if you set SELECTABLE = true, you can no longer select a row in the browser or operate the scrollbar. Instead the whole browser widget becomes 'selectable'.

MANUAL-HIGHLIGHT = true has no effect unless SELECTABLE = true. When a widget is made selectable, a black box is drawn around it. This is called the 'selection highlight' and is only visible when the widget is SELECTED. When MANUAL-HIGHLIGHT = true, the box is not drawn and so you must devise your own method for telling the end-user that the widget is SELECTED. For example, by changing its color.

Sorry - It's Friday and I was in the pub!

If MANUAL-HIGHLIGHT is TRUE, this just means that Progress will not highlight the widget for you when it becomes selected. So it leaves you do what you want. So you could change its color, or draw your own rectangle around, or do something else to indicate its selection. It's your choice.

You will not find much about these attributes in the Progress manual. They only exist probably because the AppBuilder design team asked for them when they were writing AppBuilder.
