Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Basic Development

Browsers page

As discussed earlier, you can generate dynamic visual objects for your SDOs either at the same time you generate the SDOs themselves, or later. Each browser has a column list based either on the field list of the SDO or on the Display Fields list in the Entity Maintenance if this has been defined. The framework assigns the dynamic browsers to the module you specified, but of course they have no source code filename or pathname. The Object Name of each generated browser is the dump name plus a standard suffix, which is fullb (for “full browser”) by default. To change this suffix, edit the field, as shown in Figure 5–7.

Figure 5–7: Browsers page fields

Table 5–5 describes the fields in this display.
