GetViewModeType returns the recommended type of control (edit or display) to use for this field's value in HTML forms.

AAdapterMode indicates the current mode of the parent dataset adapter. It is one of the following values:

Value	Mode	Meaning
Insert	amInsert	The control is to be used for entering a field value in a newly inserted record.
Edit	amEdit	The control is to be used for editing the current field value.
Browse	amBrowse	The control is to be used for read-only display.
Query	amQuery	The control is to be used for entering a criterion to use in a generated query.

In TBaseDataSetAdapterField, GetViewModeType returns htmlvmDisplay if the associated field is read-only or AAdapterMode indicates that the parent adapter is in browse mode (amBrowse). Otherwise, it returns htmlvmInput.
