Using Browse by Expression

The Browse by Expression feature allows you to conditionally replace an embedded browse on a form with another embedded browse, based on the value of an session variable.

The following example has two browses:

browse_company
browse_state

The Setup tab of the form's embedded browse shows the following properties. [Picture]

The Specify browse by expression field contains the following expression.

if(alltrim(Var->sort_option) = "State","browse_state","browse_company")

The form has a session variable named Var->sort_option and two radio buttons that set it to equal either browse_state or browse_company. When the user clicks the State radio button, the form looks like this. [Picture]

When the user clicks the Company radio button, the embedded browse changes. [Picture]

Thanks to Jerry Brightbill for the example.
