Plug-in toolbars

PowerBars
and PainterBars

The PowerDesigner View toolbar is named PowerBar2 in the plug-in
and the PowerDesigner Repository toolbar is named PowerBar3. A PowerBar
is always present by default in a PowerBuilder session, even when
a plug-in painter is not open. PainterBars display only when the
current PowerBuilder painter is a class diagram.

Table 4-4 shows
the names of PowerDesigner toolbars supported by the plug-in and
their corresponding names in the PowerBuilder user interface.

Toolbar differences

When you add classes to the class diagram using the plug-in’s
PainterBar4 (PowerBuilder) toolbar, default propertes are automatically
assigned to the new classes. If you add the same classes using the
PowerBuilder toolbar in PowerDesigner, default properties are not
assigned.

The plug-in’s PowerBar2 (View) toolbar has an additional
toolbar button that opens the Plug-in Options dialog box. These
options are available for the plug-in, but not for PowerDesigner.
You can also access the Plug-in Options dialog box from the Tools>Plug-in
Options menu when a class diagram has focus.

This part describes how to work with PowerScript targets in
painters, how to set properties for an application, and how to manage
PowerBuilder libraries.
