Adding an OLE object to a DataWindow object
To add an OLE object to a DataWindow object, you begin by specifying
where you want the OLE object and opening the Insert Object dialog
box so you can define the OLE object.
Adding an ActiveX control
Adding an ActiveX control to a DataWindow object is similar to adding
an OLE object. Both exist within the DataWindow object with other controls, such
as columns, computed fields, and text controls. Use the following procedure
whether you want to add an OLE object or an ActiveX control to an existing DataWindow object.
To place an OLE object in a DataWindow object:
-
Open the DataWindow object that will contain the
OLE object. -
Select Insert>Control>OLE Object
from the menu bar, or from the toolbar, click the Object drop-down
arrow and select the OLE button (not OLE Database
Blob). -
Click where you want to place the OLE object.
PowerBuilder displays the Insert Object dialog box.
To use the Insert Object dialog box, see “Defining the OLE object”.
