As you can see here, selection of a "cell" gives you full access to
all information in he "row":

https://vid.me/Yxu2

When you draw "lines" in the control as I did here, the lines
actually occupy their own row.  Box 1 is the record id field.
I print the line numbers in the selection output boxes so that
you can see how you could reference the data in whatever way you
want.

Not really.  That is done by the queries you write.  The boxes
get filled with whatever fields you specify.  You can then
take selected values from those filled controls and build
a subsequent query whose field(s) would be displayed in
another control.  I actually showed that earlier in the
toys database:

https://vid.me/Kl7w

There the left two boxes are populated from an initial query.
Then items selected in the first box are used to build the
query shown in the pink box.  The results of that query are
then displayed in the box on the right.

It has several types of dropdowns, but I have not used them yet.
I'm still feeling my way around the logic.  I imagine it will be the
same:  populate the drop-down with a query, then use selections to
build another query, etc.  One hurdle I have run into is that I have
not found a way to have selections from different controls write to the
same box simultaneously.  It may be possible, but after trying several
approaches I think I'll set that aside for now and move on to other
parts of the tookit.

In the toys database video above, I used the selected text to build
a query "where p.n='dfs'" for instance.  I could have used that selection
of 'dfs' to extract the corresponding record id and build a query based
on that.  In other words, it is not necessary to have a field "visible"
in order to use data from that field when building your query.
