#1 Updated by Delia Mitric 9 months ago

This is the testcase:

DEFINE VAR fill1 AS CHARACTER VIEW-AS FILL-IN NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VAR fill2 AS CHARACTER VIEW-AS FILL-IN NO-UNDO.

DEFINE FRAME f 
    fill1 AT ROW 1 COL 2
    fill2 AT ROW 4 COL 2
    WITH SIDE-LABELS 1 DOWN SIZE 50 BY 10.

// FILL1 TRIGGERS

ON ENTRY OF fill1 DO:
    MESSAGE "IN ENTRY fill1: " FOCUS:NAME. 
END.

ON MOUSE-SELECT-DOWN OF fill1 DO:
    MESSAGE "IN MOUSE SELECT DOWN fill1: " FOCUS:NAME.
END.

ON LEAVE OF fill1 DO:
    MESSAGE "IN LEAVE OF fill1: " FOCUS:NAME.
END.

// FILL2 TRIGGERS

ON ENTRY OF fill2 DO:
    MESSAGE "IN ENTRY fill2: " FOCUS:NAME. 
END.

ON MOUSE-SELECT-DOWN OF fill2 DO:
    MESSAGE "IN MOUSE SELECT DOWN fill2: " FOCUS:NAME.
END.

ON LEAVE OF fill2 DO:
    MESSAGE "IN LEAVE OF fill2: " FOCUS:NAME.
END.

ENABLE ALL WITH FRAME f.
WAIT-FOR CLOSE OF CURRENT-WINDOW.

Click on the second fill-in.
Progress results:
IN ENTRY fill1
IN MOUSE SELECTED DOWN fill2: fill1

In Progress, the low-level ON MOUSE-SELECT-DOWN trigger alters the default click behavior of the mouse:
  • the LEAVE event of fill1 isn't triggered
  • the ENTRY isn't triggered for fill2
  • the focus isn't changed (remains on the first fill-in)

This seems to be a quirk in Progress. The explicitly ON MOUSE-SELECT-DOWN trigger (even it is empty) modifies how a normal click bahaves.
To obtain the entire "click" behavior we need to explicitly put an "UP" trigger:

ON MOUSE-SELECT-UP OF fill2 DO:                     
    ...
END.

On the other side, if we run the testcase with FWD, these are the results:

IN MOUSE SELECTED DOWN fill2: fill1
IN LEAVE OF fill1: fill1
IN ENTRY fill2: fill1

(And the focus is changed)
