Discussion
The <OBJECT>.FINDBY_DEFINEDKEY() method applies to:
- Browses (for <OBJECT> use either the <BROWSE> pointer or the name of the browse)
- Forms (for <OBJECT> use either the <FORM> pointer or the name of the form)
The <OBJECT>.FINDBY_DEFINEDKEY() method is a high level approach to displaying the Find by Key dialog box that allows you to customize its appearance and preset its filter.
