Hello,
Any idea to develop a similar window in PowerBuilder, with native controls? Our customers are bored looking the old, styled windows anymore.

Have you looked at PB Ultimate Suite: https://www.pbultimatesuite.com/
A while back (prior to Novalys acquiring it) we used a much older version of it to spice up our main application.
Are you currently using Themes? If not, I suggest you take an existing, small application (CodeXchange has many to choose from, in case you do not have one) and experiment with Themes and learn what can be accomplished with very little change to your existing code base.
Best regards, John
Hi.
You can do most parts of the layout you provided using datawindows. Some parts may need more work, other should be simple. As an example a very simple implementation of some part of your sample window:
You would have to experiment with various controls, but you should be able to achieve more than 95% of the layout. (If I have some spare time next days, I may do some additional experiments).
Another thing you can do in to use html... You can experiment either with webbrowser control either with PBHtml control created by Roland Smith (Topwiz Software - Free Tools).
For the window, I don't think you can easily replicate the round corners as shown in your example.

A couple of years back, we tried their free version. Seems they offer more now in their commercial version. Currently we want to give a try with native controls. Will try pbultimatesuite, if nothing works out.
