   A Browse object is used when interacting with data that is to be organised
   and displayed in a tabular form, with rows and columns.

   If a file's contents is to be displayed using a Browse object, each single
   row corresponds to a file's record, and the columns correspond to the
   file's fields.

   Browse objects can be used to display data in 1:N relations, where the
   Browse is associated to the child (N) file of the relation. During the
   definition of Browse objects, the system will ask the programmer if a 1:N
   relation has to be associated to object. Normally, the browse displays all
   the records of the associated file. When selecting to associate a
   relation, the system will automatically create all necessary links, and
   the Browse display only the range of child records belonging to the
   current parent.

   Let's consider the following example: the data entry system on a form
   object handles input on the Clients database. This form also contains
   a pushbutton that calls the Browse object displaying all the
   Invoices sent to the same client.


   Since interacting with a Browse object is similar to using a List Box
   control, and the properties and functionalities quite the same, so please
   read the way to implement and design a Browse by the description of the
   List Box control found in the Design chapter.
