Controlled object
...
The parameter Controlled object row is optional. If a controlled object is defined, it (Structured variable) must contain the same structure definition as the displayed object. A defined row of the controlled structure will obtain values according to the currently displayed row. If any row is not selected, the last set of values remain in the items in the row of the controlled structure variable.
...
The parameter is not supported in Thin Client.

Select
...
The tab Select may be used only for objects of Database table type and allows to define defining a selection condition and a sorting condition.
...
Condition
The input edit box to define defines a selection condition. A result set will include the objects matching the given mask. Condition syntax is identical with to the syntax of condition following the clause WHERE in the SQL command SELECT (e.g. NAME= 'Test' or VALUE < 32.5).
Entering the condition #empty# doesn't read any data into the Browser (it can be used to open a Browser, whose condition is generated automatically on opening the picture from the script).
...
Sorting
The input edit box to define defines a sorting condition. Selected rows will be sorted by the given condition. Condition syntax is the same as the syntax of a condition following the clause ORDER BY of the SQL command SELECT (e.g. NAME - sorting by the column NAME in ascending order or VALUE DESC - sorting by the column VALUE in ascending order).
