The BFORMAT.PRG program illustrates how you can specify that BROWSE honor the current FORMAT file using the FORMAT keyword.
Only the GET fields defined in the FORMAT file will appear in the BROWSE table. In addition, all attributes of the format file (color, picture, function, font, and so forth) except the row and column will be used for the display of the fields. This example is discussed in Chapter 9 in the section describing the BROWSE command FORMAT keyword.
