Column Edit Style & Validation Rule

By default all columns have 'Edit' edit style, unless defined otherwise in the database painter. All the edit styles you saw in the database painter are available in the DataWindow painter. We are not going into details of each edit style, because, it was already done in the database painter. The same is the case with the validation rule and the display format.

Any changes made to the PowerBuilder extended properties for a DataWindow is specific to that DataWindow only. At any point of time, now or in the future, they will not affect other DataWindows. That is not true for the changes made to extended attributes defined in the database painter, they affect all future DataWindows.
