{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **UpdateQuery** | Defines a default query interface for the BrowseClass object. |
| //querymanager// | The label of the BrowseClass object's QueryClass object. See //QueryClass //for more information. |

The **UpdateQuery **method defines a default query interface (dialog) for the BrowseClass object.

{{tipbox.jpg|TipBox.jpg}}

**You may use the UpdateQuery method in combination with the QueryClass.AddItem method to define a query interface that contains the displayed fields plus other queryable items.**

**Implementation:**

The UpdateQuery method sets the value of the Query property, then calls the QueryClass.AddItem method for each displayed field, so that each displayed field accepts filter criteria in the query dialog.

**Example:**

**QueryForm  QueryFormClass**

**QueryVis   QueryFormVisual**

**BRW1       CLASS(BrowseClass)**

**Q           &CusQ**

**           END**

**CusWindow.Init PROCEDURE()**

**  CODE**

** !open files, views, window, etc.**

** IF DefaultQuery**

**  BRW1.UpdateQuery(QueryForm)**

** ELSE**

**  BRW1.Query &= QueryForm**

**  QueryForm.AddItem('UPPER(CUS:NAME)','','')**

**  QueryForm.AddItem('UPPER(CUS:CITY)','','')**

**  QueryForm.AddItem('CUS:ZIP_CODE','','')**

** END**

** RETURN Level:Benign**
