Editing a SmartDataBrowser Master
Any modular system must have and enforce strict data-exchange requirements if it is to avoid possible data corruption and loss. You can always update the field selections in your SmartDataBrowser to reflect your changing needs, though you might also need to make corresponding changes to the associated SmartDataObject (see Table 5–1).
When you are ready to edit your SmartDataBrowser master, follow these steps:
- Choose File
Open and select the source file (for example:
bSampleSDB.w
). The SmartDataBrowser object appears, displaying its Browse widget in a layout workspace:
![]()
- Click on the Browse widget to select it, and choose Tools
Property Sheet. The Property Sheet dialog box opens:
![]()
- Choose the Fields button to open the Column Editor dialog box (note that the Query button is not available). See the "Selecting Database Fields for Browsing" section in "Data-access Objects," for instructions on how to use the Column Editor.
- Make your changes to the fields list. If you wish to change other master properties, see the "Configuring SmartDataBrowser Properties" section in this chapter.
- Save your changes.
