The following example shows a sequence of statements to declare, instantiate, initialize, use, and terminate an EditEntryClass object and a related BrowseClass object. The example page-loads a LIST of fieldnames and associated control attributes (such as color, icon, etc.), then edits the items with an EditEntryClass object. Note that the BrowseClass object calls the EditEntryClass object's methods as needed.
