The cUserDataSource prototype class is a complete data source that does not have a run-time GUI. Because all framework window and table objects have a "built in" data source, there is seldom a need to use the cUserDataSource.
There are however some cases that require the use of cUserDataSource. For instance if you wish to show information from two independent (e.g. no master-detail relationship) data sources in the same window, without using tabs or child tables. In such a case you can place two cUserDataSource on the window and then connect data items to those data sources as desired.
