Background Users in the US were our application's initial user base, but this has expanded to the point that Canadian, British, and Scandinavian users also use the system. The PowerBuilder datawindow didn't like the Scandinavian currency format with decimals and periods transposed (###.###,00). When we tried to set the format in the d...
Does anyone have any advice for migrating a PowerBuilder 10 business application to .NET? My company is considering migrating a legacy PB application to .NET (C#) and I am just wondering if anyone has any experience - good or bad - that you would like to share. The application is rather large with 10 PBL libraries, some PFC as well as...

I'm looking for a way to do two-way communication between a PB object and a .NET (C#) object. In looking at Brad's .NET version of his GUI controls, I see how to give the .NET object a reference to the PB object. But in that example, it's cast as a PowerObject (basically). That C# code only calls TriggerEvent() on the PB object. I want ...

I know this is a general question, but I'd like to hear other people's opinion about our case: I work in a small company. Our main development tool is PowerBuilder, which is a very limited IDE with a shrinking community. We've created some tools, which we use internally to solve a certain needs. They have neither been properly designed ...
Hi, I'm trying to write a tool which lets me inspect the state of a PowerBuilder-based application. What I'm thinking of is something like Spy++ (or, even nicer, 'Snoop' as it exists for .NET applications) which lets me inspect the object tree (and properties of objects) of some PowerBuilder-based GUI. I did the same for ordinary (MFC-...
Does anybody know whether it's possible to make a given PowerBuilder application (for which I usually don't have the source code) load a custom extension (a nonvisual extension) which I provide? I know that I could add my .pbd to the library list of the PowerScript target in PowerBuilder, but when given a complete PowerBuilder-based GUI...

What is the best version control system to implement with PowerBuilder 11.5? If you have examples of how you have did branching/trunk/tags that would be awesome. We have tried to wrap our heads around it a few times and always run into problems because we use shared libraries such as PFC/PFE in multiple applications. Right now we ar...

What recommendations do you have for a Subversion client that supports Microsofts standard SCC API? So far, I've found two possibilities: TortoiseSVN SCC. Seems neither mature, active nor supported (no release since Jan 2005) SVN Plugin from PushOK. Commercial, with pricing hidden behind a login page. Neither of these seem particula...
I'm working on developing a webapp that will replace an existing PowerBuilder app. They should be functionality equivalent, and the requirements for the PB app are long gone. So the best way to test seems to be to input the same data into the same screens, and compare the output. If the PB output and the webapp output are the same, it's ...

I'm currently developing a PowerBuilder application and noticed that each window features a 'ParentWindow' function. However, there doesn't seem to be a 'ChildWindows' or anything like that.
