Report Viewer - 1 snag

[Skc]

Progress V9.1D GUI

I managed to use the Progress editor widget to view Report text files on disk. But I have 1 main snag - how to allow user to press the right-arrow key to get wide report to scroll into view from the right?

Right-now pressing right-arrow key moves the cursor inside the editor-widget. Users don't want that - they want the report to move into view (not the cursor to move).

Anyone know how to do this? Sounds like a simple thing but Progress don't seem to allow this.

If it cannot be done, anyone wrote this kind of Report Viewer in another language that can be called from Progress?

Thanks

Look like it's confirmed that Progress can't do this at this point in time. The best that I can come up with:-

ON 'cursor-right' OF mreport
DO:
mreport:CURSOR-CHAR = mreport:CURSOR-CHAR + 40 NO- ERROR.
RETURN NO-APPLY.
END.

ON 'cursor-left' OF mreport
DO:
mreport:CURSOR-CHAR = mreport:CURSOR-CHAR - 40 NO-ERROR.
RETURN NO-APPLY.
END.


Not perfect. But it speeds up navigation a bit. Only other option is to hunt for a 3rd-party text-viewer.
