Adding pbdom150.pbx to your application
The PBDOM classes are implemented in a DLL file with the suffix
PBX (for PowerBuilder extension). The simplest way to add the PBDOM
classes to a PowerBuilder target is to import the object descriptions
in the pbdom150.pbx PBX file into a library
in the PowerBuilder System Tree. You can also the add pbdom150.pbd file,
which acts as a wrapper for the classes, to the target’s library
search path.
The pbdom150.pbx and pbdom150.pbd files
are placed in the SharedPowerBuilder directory
when you install PowerBuilder. When you are building a PBDOM application,
you do not need to copy pbdom150.pbx to another
location, but you do need to deploy it with the application in a
directory in the application’s search path.
To import the descriptions in an extension into
a library:
-
In the System Tree, expand the target in
which you want to use the extension, right-click a library, and
select Import PB Extension from the pop-up menu.
-
Navigate to the location of the PBX file
and click Open.Each class in the PBX displays in the System Tree so that
you can expand it, view its properties, events, and methods, and
drag and drop to add them to your scripts.
After you import pbdom150.pbx, the PBDOM
objects display in the System Tree:
