I want a rather simple (and cheap) solution, just for presentation purposes (and just to show the task duration bars - no connection lines between them). So, I am not interested in buying some advanced custom control like this for example. Have any of you ever used something like this? Are there any code samples available? ...
Hi all, I'm having an issue I'd like so get some feedback on. I'm not going to detail the exact issue about how my application functions as it really doesn't matter in this case. I'm using PB 11.5 and have been tasked with converting a Win32 app to WINFORMS. Suppose I didn't like the look of the PB command buttons and wanted to create...
I have a third party tool that can send or receive DDE pokes. I have been using DDE spy to monitor communications between it and a 3rd party DDE server emulator, with a view to replicate this using Powerbuilder. As far as I can tell, this is using warm links. I tried using openchannel, followed by execremote, but the type of call is d...
I have a grid datawindow with a picture in it's background (with dimensions of an A4 page) and I would like to export both data and the picture as a (single page) PDF file.

Hi there, I've been trying to do a spec for a PowerBuilder 9 to 11.5 migration of a relatively complex application. Granted PowerBuilder is not really my specialty I'm having issues trying to justify an estimate for this part of the project (and the PowerBuilder people I've been talking with have had some personal issues lately and ...
I am trying to convert a VISUAL USER OBJECT that was once embedded on a window, into a DYNAMICALLY CREATED VISUAL USER OBJECT in a different window (same package). The problem I'm getting is I can't seem to be able to create an array of these objects without getting null references or reusing the same object over and over. At the mome...
Our PowerBuilder application is fairly large and has many objects in several PBLs for organizing our code. We often have 10 or more datawindows on one window, and these datawindows may be spread across two or three PBLs. For version control, we use exclusive check-out to avoid merge conflicts. The situation is that when you right-click ...
PowerBuilder seems to have some support for plug-ins since version 10. However, I can't find any documentation nor tutorials about this. The only hints I can manage are by examining the COM objects inside the existing DLLs. It doesn't help much, but I'm a novice at COM development. A very cursory example of how to do something would be ...
We have a Powerbuilder 10 application that is using .Net COM assemblies. We are trying to embed the manifest in the PB application (to invoke COM assemblies without registration). The merged manifest file has added sections for dependecies on the .Net COM assemblies. We have tries various tools to inject the new manifest with different r...

Setup: Using PowerBuilder 6.5. I have a composite report (with a report header) which is created from two unrelated individual DataWindows. Question: In composite presentation style, how can I freeze (lock) composite report header along with the column headers in the top DataWindow? E.g. When you scroll down the composite report, ...
I have a somewhat-long-running stored procedure being called from a PB application. I want the UI to show an indicator that it is processing, but I don't know the exact progress. That is, I can't say whether it is 10% or 90% done. All I know is when it is done. To give the user something to look at I'd like to put a "Inderterminate" (ho...
