Current Selections Box - AJAX/Webview

The current selections box is a sheet object that shows selections in the fields and their logical status. The current selections box shows the same data as the free floating Current Selections Window but can be positioned on the sheet as any other sheet object.

By right-clicking the object, the Object Menu will be displayed.

The object menu can be opened as a context menu by right-clicking on a sheet object, or by clicking the icon in the object caption (if shown).
