Overview

A browsing Table control is a control whose columns are linked to items found in a data file or in a query (data source). Each Table control column can be:

Linked to an item of data source
Linked to an item of a file linked to the data source
Calculated: If the column is not linked to a file item, it is a calculated column. For the calculated columns, the content of the column is re-calculated whenever a row is displayed, it is not stored.

Each row found in the Table control corresponds to a record of the data source.

A browsing table control is used to:

View the content of a data file (or query) with one record per row and select a record (view the entire file or a selection of records selected according to a filter).
Delete a record by deleting a row from the Table control.
Modify a record by modifying the content of a row found in the Table control.
Add a record by entering a row in the Table control.
