Unsupported Nonvisual Objects and Structures in Windows Forms

Windows Forms applications support most PowerBuilder objects, controls, functions, events, and properties.

This table lists all PowerBuilder
nonvisual objects and structures and indicates whether they are
currently supported in Windows Forms applications. When there is an X in the Partially Supported column
of this table, see the second table for
detailed information about what is not supported. The XX symbol in the Unsupported column of the first table
indicates that there are no current plans to support the corresponding object in future versions of PowerBuilder:

VariableList property of the ClassDefinition object may not be the

same in .NET applications as in standard PowerBuilder applications.}

Note: Objects used for profiling and tracing, DDE, and OLE storage
and streams are not supported.
