Passing information with the ButtonBar Execute() and LaunchBrowser() methods

The ButtonBar Execute() and LaunchBrowser() methods will pass along the selected row to the external application if the underlying control contains a grid and a row is selected in the grid.

The value from a column in the selected row from the grid will be passed if the column name from the grid is specified in the method's commandInfo parameter. The columns names for the grid can be found by right-clicking on the grid in the control and then clicking Configure.
