Direct Manipulation

Progress lets you write applications that allow the user to directly manipulate (move and resize) frames and field-level widgets using a mouse. For each widget that is to be manipulated, you must set the appropriate attributes. For example, to allow the user to move a frame, you must set the frame’s MOVABLE attribute to TRUE. The user can then use a mouse to move the frame when running the application.

Progress also supports grids. A grid is a framework of crisscrossed bars appearing within a frame that helps the user align widgets within the frame.
