Saving the window
You can save the window you are working on at any time.
To save a window
-
Select File>Save from the menu bar.
If you have previously saved the window, PowerBuilder saves
the new version in the same library and returns you to the Window
painter workspace.If you have not previously saved the window, PowerBuilder
displays the Save Window dialog box. -
Name the window in the Windows text box (see below).
-
Type comments in the Comments text box to describe the
window.These comments display in the Select Window window and in
the Library painter. It is a good idea to use comments so you and
others can easily remember the purpose of the window later. -
Specify the library where you want to save the
window. -
Click OK.
Naming the window
The window name can be any valid PowerBuilder identifier of up
to 40 characters. For information about PowerBuilder identifiers, see
the section called “Identifier names” in PowerScript Reference.
A commonly used convention is to preface all window names with
w_ and use a suffix that helps you identify the particular window. For
example, you might name a window that displays employee data
w_empdata.
