2D and 3D Widget Size Compatibility

Three-dimensional widgets are different widgets and have different sizes than corresponding two-dimensional widgets. This means that you must adjust your layouts to accommodate them.

Note that the height of a three-dimensional fill-in is larger than that of a character unit. However, the height of a two-dimensional fill-in is, by default, the same as that of a three-dimensional fill-in to provide layout compatibility between them.

If you want two-dimensional fill-ins to equal the height of a character unit, you must set the Use–3D–Size key to No in the current environment, which might be the registry or an initialization file. However, where two standard fill-in fields fit neatly on ROW 1 COLUMN 1 and ROW 2 COLUMN 1, two three-dimensional fill-in fields do not. For more information on the Use–3D–Size key, see the section on specifying three-dimensional size in the chapter on user interface environments in the Progress Client Deployment Guide. For more information on setting keys in the current environment, see the reference entry for the PUT–KEY–VALUE statement in the Progress Language Reference .
