Contact::Browse (Interface: Contact)
 
Browses the file for a Contact.
 
LONG Browse (
    VARIANT_BOOL bFromCurrPos
)
 
Parameters
bFromCurrPos
[in] When this parameter is set to true the browse will use the current position of the file and the key that was set by the previous SeekBy-method. If the parameter is false the browse will be positioned at the beginning of the file and the key will be the last one that was manually selected in the browse.
 
Return value
A LONG containing the system number of the selected record, 0 if no record was selected.
 
Remarks
This method can only be used if user interface is allowed (parameter bWithUserInterface is set to true in the Logon method), because a record can only be selected using the browse dialog.
