Introduction to PowerBuilder

Window Painter

No matter what kind of application you have used, it is the user interface that has been your best friend. Without that you would have been powerless to interact with the software, whether it be formatting a document, calculating your tax return or interrogating the information in your local database.

To address these basic requirements, PowerBuilder provides you with an "Window Object" that operates in the same customary manner to display information or accept it from the user and in combination with others of its own type, to be used as a guide for the user through the task that the user wishes to complete.

After this session you will be able to:

• Understand what a window is.
• Understand about Window Controls and how they work together.
• Paint windows.
• Preview/Run/Print the window.
• Understand different types of windows.

Estimated lesson time:

300+ minutes

Prerequisites:

• You should have PowerBuilder (Desktop/ Professional/ Enterprise version) installed on your computer.
