Changing the DataWindow object style – PB Docs 2021

• The unit of measure used in the DataWindow object

• A timer interval for events in the DataWindow object

• A background color for the DataWindow object

To change the default style properties

1. Position the pointer in the background of the DataWindow
   object, display the pop-up menu, and select Properties.

   The Properties view displays with the General page on
   top.

2. Click the unit of measure you want to use to specify
   distances when working with the DataWindow object:

   • PowerBuilder units (PBUs) Normalized units

   • Pixels (smallest element on the display monitor)

   • Thousandths of an inch

   • Thousandths of a centimeter

   Choosing the unit of measure

   If you plan to print the contents of the DataWindow object
   at runtime, change the unit of measure to inches or centimeters
   to make it easier to specify the margin measurements.

3. Specify the number of milliseconds you want between internal
   timer events in the DataWindow object.

   This value determines how often PowerBuilder updates the
   time fields in the DataWindow object. (Enter 60,000 milliseconds
   to specify one minute.)

4. On the Background page, select a background color from the
   Color drop-down list. The default color is the window background
   color.
