Remarks
Tip Tip
If the browser is used as a browse view of a data window, there is no reason to use this method; the browser is automatically connected to the server of the window it belongs to.
The DataBrowser:Use() method connects browser columns with fields of the data server based on matching names. Any column that does not have an explicitly provided field specification and hyperlabel inherits the FieldSpec and HyperLabel objects from its data server field. If the data browser does not have any columns, the DataBrowser:Use() method automatically creates a layout with columns for all the fields in the server. DataBrowser:Use() also registers the data browser as a client of the server with the DataServer:RegisterClient() method.
