Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
AppBuilder

Creating a basic data browser instance

Unlike a SmartDataBrowser, a basic browse object has no master, and obtains its data stream directly using its built-in query feature. Although there is no master to define, you must define that query.

To create and place a basic Data Browser:

Click on the basic Browse tool icon in the Object Palette. Click on a bare spot in your workspace to place it.
Query Builder immediately opens. Define the query. See the "Defining and editing queries using Query Builder" section for more information.
Note: While you can elect to jump out of Query Builder and create a free-form query, you cannot later use Query Builder to maintain it. Confirming that you wish to create a free-form query locks out Query Builder immediately; you cannot change your mind. Your only recourse will be to delete the Browse object altogether and create a new one.
When you have defined the query terms and chosen the fields the browse will display, choose OK to dismiss Query Builder. Your browse widget displays the fields you have chosen.
Select the browse, if necessary, and drag the handles to resize and position it to meet your needs. Note that the browse does not display a horizontal scroll bar as long as it has enough space to display at least a fragment of the rightmost field. Check to be sure it displays the whole field.
