Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
ADM and SmartObjects

SmartDataViewers

A SmartDataViewer does not define or open a query; therefore, it always relies on another SmartObject for data. SmartDataViewers never FIND a database record, and no record buffers are passed to it. This helps separate the user interface from the data management and does not constrain SmartDataViewers to run in a session with a database connection. A SmartDataViewer never has any database records at run time; it displays data from a query defined elsewhere. As with the SmartDataBrowser, all updates must be performed through a SmartDataObject.
