The **AskProcedure **property identifies the procedure to update a browse item. A value of zero (0) uses the BrowseClass object's own AskRecord method to do updates. Any other value uses a separate procedure registered with the WindowManager object.

**Implementation:**

Typically, the WindowManager object (Init method) sets the value of the AskProcedure property when a separate update procedure is needed. The Ask method passes the AskProcedure value to the WindowManager.Run method to indicate which procedure to execute.
