Opening objects checked in to source control
Although you can open objects in a PowerBuilder painter when
they are checked in to source control, until you check them out
again, any changes you make to those objects cannot be saved. By
default, when you try to open an object under source control,
PowerBuilder provides a warning message to let you know when the
object is not checked out. You can avoid this type of warning
message by clearing the “Suppress prompts to overwrite read-only
files” check box on the Source Control tab of the Workspace
Properties dialog box.
If you did not change the default, you can still select a
check box on the first warning message that displays. After you
select the “Do not display this message again” check box in a
warning message box and click Yes, the check box on the Source
Control tab is automatically cleared. This prevents warning messages
from displaying the next time you open objects that are checked in
to source control. Although warning messages do not display, you
still cannot save any changes you make to these objects in a
PowerBuilder painter.
