Hi,

  •  May be the option design / show invisible is not checked (at design time)
  • The control is created on runtime

Regards!

I don't have PB 9 handy, but I'm pretty sure they had this then.  





Click on the VIEW menu when you have Window open.

Then click on CONTROL LIST.





This will show you what type all the controls on the Window are.

They should be keeping the sle_ or em_ prefix. The people who don't  keep the prefiix are not following standards.

Hi Radha,

You are aware that PowerBuilder 9 is 15 years old?

​I found the old Sybase press release and PB 9.0 shipped back in late March 2003! As a consequence, PB 9 only supports product versions that were available in March 2003: Windows XP, Oracle 9, MS SQL 2000, etc. A lot has happened in PowerBuilder over the last 15 years!

WIndows 7 is unsupported. Any .NET 4 related is unsupported. Unicode is only partially supported. Performance guidelines were very different.

Appeon-U's PowerBuilder Fundamentals class is my best advice!

It is a free, online course available on Appeon's main web site.

I know, it is based on PB 11.5 or newer, but the core product features are taught at a level relevant also for PB 9. You will experience the IDE looks different and may lack features in PB 9.

Also learning on a project from colleagues more proficient in PowerBuilder is an excellent source of knowledge Finally, two PowerBuilder manuals that are worth looking at: User's Guide and Application Techniques (names may have been slightly different back in PB 9).

HTH /Michael

Sorry - please see my replies to your other question. I believe learning the current PB version still teaches you a lot about PB 9. Just remember that if you learn something you cannot find in the 15 years old PB 9, then it is probably added after PB 9. But you should be able to read all code already present in the application and write similar code yourself.



SQL is quite different from PowerScript - and with DataWindow objects you get to write much less SQL, because the DataWindow object writes your INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements by itself.
