Hi Marek, Escigi & Rathingiri
Pertaining to a BROWSE, how does one interactively get/set workarea ?
In other words, what are the codes to change the WorkArea of an Active BROWSE ?
FYI, I have been struggling on this issue for the past 1 week
TIA

I don't know, if it's possible because WORKAREA property of Browse is available at control definition only.

Hi CCH
I'm afraid that I don't understood your question.
What is meaning of changing the WorkArea of an Active BROWSE ?
In other words, what's your intention to make after achieving this change ?

Hi Escigi
Once the workarea is changed, I expect BROWSE to display the contents of the new workarea

Ok, but if I'm not woring, as per help file (hmg_hlp.chm), we can set WORKAREA during definition of browse only! Cannot change on the fly!

This is what I do whenever I need to change the workarea in browse:
function Main()
define window MyMain.....
:
:
: other control definitions
@ row, col BROWSE brwMyFile ... ALIAS "MYFILE"
end window
static function ReStateBrw()
MyMain.brwMyFile.Release
@ row, col BROWSE brwMyFile ... ALIAS "DIFFILE"
RETURN NIL
-----------------------------
It's not a working sample but I am pretty sure you would get the point. It's just a function to release and re-state the browse. You migth even switch back to the original workarea using the same routine, just simply add parameters.
I don't know if that helps you. But I used to do like these, release and re-state the browse. The only question that remains is when and which event you are going to tie the release and re-state. That depends on your program requirements.

Hi dhaine_adp
Yup, I think this should be workable.
I was moving towards this line of thought.

Hello
By using TAB we can easily switch between browses / workareas.
