DataWindow Web control for ActiveX (obsolete)
Obsolete technique
DataWindow Web Control for ActiveX is not recommended and is
considered to be obsolete. An obsolete feature is no longer eligible for
technical support and will no longer be enhanced, although it is still
available.
The ability to use this technique has been retained for backward
compatibility.
The DataWindow Web control for ActiveX is a fully interactive
DataWindow control for use with Internet Explorer. It implements all the
features of the PowerBuilder DataWindow except rich text.
The DataWindow Web control for ActiveX supports data retrieval with
retrieval arguments and data update. You can use edit styles, display
formats, and validation rules. Most of the PowerBuilder methods for
manipulating the DataWindow are available. Several functions that involve
file system interactions are not supported, allowing the Web ActiveX to be
in the safely scriptable category of ActiveX controls.
Included with the DataWindow Web control is the DataWindow
Transaction Object control for making database connections that can be
shared by several DataWindow Web controls.
The Web ActiveX is provided as a CAB file, which allows the client
browser to install and register the control. When the user downloads a Web
page that refers to the CAB file, the browser also downloads the CAB file
if necessary, unpacks it, and registers the control.
