A C++ class user object is one of the non-visual types of PowerBuilder user object. It has no visual component to it-there is no control associated with it and it includes only variables and functions.
|
Note that you can only create C++ user objects with the Enterprise edition of PowerBuilder, or using the Advanced Developer's Kit. |
PowerBuilder introduced the ability to create a C++ DLL from within PowerBuilder in Version 4.0. Creating a C++ user object involves linking your PowerBuilder application to a Windows DLL (dynamic link library), and the Enterprise edition includes a selection of tools to create DLLs as part of the Watcom Integrated Development Environment (IDE). These tools include a text editor, resource editor, debugger, compiler, linker and skeleton code generator. They enable you to create user objects in PowerBuilder and declare functions that are coded in C++.
