Browses

Browse Controls Toolbox

The Browse Controls toolbox makes it easy to place buttons and images in browse cells. Here are the actions and enhancements you can add to your browses.

Open Form - Put a button or hyperlink in a browse cell to open a new form. This form will often be filtered so that it shows the same record as the current browse record. This action is commonly used to open a form that shows more detail for the current record.


Print/Preview Layout - Put a button or hyperlink in a browse cell to print or preview a layout. The layout will often be filtered so that it shows the same record as the current browse record.

Run an Operation - Put a button or hyperlink in a browse cell to run a saved Operation.

Generic Action - Put a button or hyperlink in a browse cell to run any Xbasic code.

Image - Put an icon in a browse cell. The icon is typically dynamically selected based on some value in the current record. For example, if you have a browse showing a list of customers with credit ratings between 1 and 5, you could dynamically select a different icon for each customer, based on their credit rating.


Text - Put some text in a browse cell. The text can either be static, or dynamic, based on some value in the current record.
